Poult thief!!

Here's a new one. Skinny Iris is running between two nests. She's stealing eggs & putting them in one or the other nest. She'll sit on one nest awhile then go sit on the other for a bit. I cleaned them out & carried her around a bit giving her "the talk". Goofy bird!!

We've had storms all morning. Again, lots of thunder. Seems it can't just rain anymore. They started early. Woke me up....but I rather enjoy a loud storm when snuggled in bed.

I've chatted with Ursuline Chick! We both went to Ursuline Acadamy. I'll fess up. I went to school with nuns for 12 years.

Molpet...go to the UKC Coonhound Assoc and see if you can find a club close to you. These guys would love the opportunity to hunt them!
Not sure about Mason, but my coonie will kill a coon.

Molpet... where are you? I may know a hunter in your area. I've met a bunch from all over the place at the Classics. They are held 4 times a year & usually host over 1000 coonies. Now that's one loud & crazy show site. Then they all go hunt. It's crazy cool.

Always good to check in with a fellow alumni! Sure hope your daughter enjoys it as much as I did.
My coonhound kills possum too!

What fun would it be to watch the game cam for just the right moment....then let the coonhounds loose! Aurora....this may be your opportunity to get a dog! Nice little TWC. They are so sweet....your husband may really like one. Mine got two possum this week.

Blossom! Not sure what her deal is. She's been super chatty the last few days. And won't leave me alone. Follows me everywhere.
