I see no resemblence between our wonderful RFF and a bowling pin on feet (or as T HI would say wine bottle)

Runners walk with their chest up high, dont waddle. LOL

My duck yard is mushy and squishy too, but the gravel can't get to it. It would be like bringing a wheelbarrel through quicksand.

I spread half a bale of straw and planted grass seeds below that. Maybe it'll work and I'll have lush grass with loads of worms.

How far did you bring the last racoon?

Thus the name bowling pin on feet.
 
Slept with the window open and no radio on (something I couldn't do any time except Saturday night: normally the street noise at 4am wakes me up without some preexisting sound covering it a bit) and didn't hear any extra coyote noise, so looks like my BIL was right and she didn't have nursing or recently weaned pups.

I'm all sorts of conflicted about this coyote's death: she'd taken five chickens recently, but she'd made my cousin pay more attention to where his chickens were free-ranging. She had no fear of humans, since she'd been actively fed by someone as a pup. She'd been actively fed by someone as a pup, so she was the biggest female coyote I'd ever seen. She was a danger to chickens, but a predictable member of the neighborhood: there will be another coyote by end of summer, and who knows what it will be like?

There's a three-acre land-locked parcel out of the SW corner of the forty I'm on: it has an abandoned house, and two acres are a closed stand of native hazelnut, the favorite denning habitat for coyotes. It abuts the Tacoma Rail spur line that meets the BNSF mainline at St. Claire crossing, running through a city of Lacey Park Reserve and past the corner of my BILs place, connecting my place to the McCallister Creek and the Nisqually River, to big farms and to the Fort. If Coyote kept a MLS for his children, it would be a listing to start a bidding war.

Oh, well: no local pups is good, and coyote bidding wars usually end with the most aggressive males wearing each other down or getting hit on the road, and the sneakiest female claiming the den. We will wait. We will know eventually.

I am glad to hear you are doing well. Sure, now you are in the last half of your pregnancy and it decides to get hot. It will just add to the fun. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you.

Thanks! I've been "lucky" thus far with a cool, wet spring...I got a little sun yesterday while planting the rest of my garden. Now I'm off to Wal-Mart to find something to brood my goslings in--apparently DH threw away the nice, big wooden lizard cage I used to brood goslings in....sighs....oh and I need more fencing to keep Butters from using my garden as a giant litter box.

He found the one & only hole that's about 6" across and he's been going in and digging up all of my seeds!

So bout the diabetes thing, if you are going for the second test, the super sweet 7up tasting drink is soooo sweet you might want to bring your DH with you, just in case you pass out. I up chucked it

Then went crash. Good thing I had DH to take me home. But no worries. It will be OK.

Apparently, there are three "flavors," orange, lemon/lime and fruit punch.

I was thinking about that because I normally don't eat/drink much sugar because it does make me crash...so I avoid it all together.

I am not sure about these guys--this is my first time with Africans. My Sebbies are really sweet and don't bite. They do hiss at DH though, LOL And the dogs. So far, these little Africans are SUPER snuggly and sweet.
