I would not wait another moment to get your boy into the vet. Hopefully if treatment is needed you can begin right away and arrest what is ailing him. Best, positive thoughts for your Jazz.

And then there were two.

A black(?) or blue (?) production Rhode Island Red. Travis would need to explain the genetic coloration behind this one. I don't understand that stuff.

It was a great club. I loved it and was very sad to leave. Two babies were just too much for me at the time, especially with all the issues that went along with post-partum Eclampsia.

Donations pour in for homeless man who returned diamond ring

Homeless man gets diamond ring in error

http:// STORY HIGHLIGHTS

• Billy Ray Harris returns the ring after Sarah Darling accidentally drops it in his cup
• Darling and her husband set up a fundraiser to show their appreciation
• Husband said the experience has been "unreal"
• The site has raised close to $94,000 so far

Billy Ray Harris is homeless and often stays under a bridge. (CNN) -- Talk about good karma. Well-wishers from around the world are opening their wallets to a homeless man who returned a diamond engagement ring to its rightful owner, after she accidentally dropped it in his donation cup. "I actually feel like I'm especially lucky to have this ring now. I loved it before. I loved it so much, but I love it so much more now. I feel like it has such great karma," Sarah Darling told CNN's "Starting Point with Soledad O'Brien." Darling, who is from Kansas City, Missouri, said she was devastated when she realized she'd lost her ring. She almost never takes it off, but it was giving her a bit of a rash so she did, zipping it in her coin purse for safe keeping. Later, she absentmindedly emptied the contents of that purse into the collection cup of Billy Ray Harris, who is homeless and often stays under a bridge in Darling's hometown. It wasn't until the next day that she realized her ring was gone. "It was horrible. It was such a feeling of loss," Darling said. "It meant so much to me beyond just the financial value." She went back to look for Harris, but he was gone. She returned the next day and found him. "I asked him ... 'I don't know if you remember me, but I think I gave you something that's very precious to me,' and he says, 'Was it a ring? Yeah, I have it, I kept it for you,'" Darling said. She was floored. http://

Homeless man returns ring dropped in cup To show their appreciation, Darling and her husband set up an online fundraiser for Harris. The donations and praise have poured in. "In life what goes around comes around... Billy - your sweet actions, despite being in dire straits yourself, prove that there is humility in the world... you are one shining example. Lots of love from across the pond," wrote Chris and Mel, from Brentwood, England, on the giveforward.com site, which is collecting money. They gave $20. "I am from Singapore and I greatly am grateful for your honesty!" wrote Ophelia Wong Zen-na, who gave $10. Brian Paul also gave $10. "If I wasn't jobless I would give much more, but felt compelled to do something. Billy Ray do your best to become what you've always dreamed you could be. Its never too late. God Bless and thanks for never loosing your character in tough times," he wrote. So far, in about a week, more than 3,400 donations have been made, totaling nearly $95,000. The money will be given to Harris at the end of a 90-day campaign. In an update Saturday, Darling's husband, Bill Krejci, called the response "unreal." Krejci met with Harris to tell him about the flood of donations and to get to know him better. They went together to make some repairs to Harris' bike. "We talked about a lot of things related to my family's ring and the many donations. We talked about one day in the future the ring may one day be passed down to my daughter," Krejci wrote on the website. "We talked about how insanely positive all this has been." Harris told Krejci that he has found a place to stay where he is "safe and sound."

It's nice hearing about stories with a happy ending!

in eggs I'm incubating. what is oxine? and I don't add water to the incubator because that makes the humidity to high.

I use Oxine all the time. There are a lot of uses for it. There's a good article about it on Shagbark Bantams' site. Google it.

Pale gums is an emergency (shock) I would not delay getting him to the vet if I were you. Don't try to make him eat, he may need surgery. I would certainly not feed a Dane gravy or other carbohydrates under any circumstances, the risk of bloat/torsion is too great with Danes. Good luck to your boy.

Yes! If you're dog has pale gums it is an emergency!!! Could be caused by many things, but none of them are good. If your vet's not open, I would go to the emergency vet. I don't know where you are, but I really like Summit in Tacoma.

Thank you very much. I am on the hunt now for a vet open either today or tomorrow.
