What Ridiculous Things Do You Do For Pets?

What do I do for animals?

There was a hawk circling the yard, so my mom and sister and I ran out to put in my 4 GSL pullets (EE's were still in the brooder and I hadn't bought my Cochin yet). Mom took Gamma, sister took Lily, and since I'm the official owner of the chickens; I grabbed Poppy and Flutter. One under each arm. Poppy's my head hen and really large and strong and she's not too fond of being held. Flutter's strong too, and... well, there's a reason she's called Flutter.

Needless to say, when I ran across the yard like an idiot with pullets under my arms, I was also being clucked at by Poppy and bashed in the back of the head by Flutter's wing

You can kinda tell I love my chooks a lot.

Lets see I have 4 dogs right now son brought me a new rescue 3 horses 2 cats, and 22 baby chicks, at the moment.....so
It takes me and hour to pick up cat/dog toys before I can even vacuum the carpets, if you don't trip or step on a a toy a rawhide or a cat ball around here it's a miracle,
I bake treats for my horses, apple muffins, and molasses cookies, oatmeal apple bars, My farrier says when he dies he wants to come back as one of my horses. I also stand in the barn with them when it's storming so they don''t get scared, They also have lots of toys they don't even play with. I bake treats for the dogs also and usually feed them half my food at supper because though they are far from skinny they look so depressed waiting for their supper I can't stand it. They usually occupy most of my bed and I sleep on the edge. My cats are so spoiled they will try to eat off my plate if I'm not careful, and I can usually not even read my book because I have a cat/cats on my chest. LOL I'm ridiculous I guess, but I love them all. My chickens will be just as spoiled, they already have me fixing them eggs for breakfast, and scooping pooh 2 txs a day, and looking for toys for chickens on Ebay, and amazon. hehe. Kim

I buy handmade dog treats. They come from jack boy bakery. My dogs love them and they look so cute. They are a bit pricey but my dogs go nuts for them. I bought these ones that look like chocolate but they are dog safe. Its like a huge cookie sandwich. My friend who is a pet sitter knows the lady and my dogs know when she is at the door with treats. She is in love with my male lab. Lol
I spent a lot on toys for them since they have their own toy boxes in two rooms. We basically bought the house we did for them ! Huge yard. Helped that I could have anything I wanted legally to.
We are going to redo the entire house hardwood also for the dogs.

Cool, I'm normal.

Ok, ok, my DD is dictating in my ear the things I have 'supposedly' done.

The B-day party for my old dog (she got half the cake - it was her birthday, tho),

Coulter picked out his own collar - he likes the rainbow one.

Handsewing jackets for Hoppy - in MY defense, Hoppy's crippled and gets cold easy.

Buying a special 'bones-only' saw to cut up beef rib bones for the dogs and cats (it even gets washed in the dishwasher - top rack)

Brooklyn, my Yellow-nape, eats bites of my food. If I want something bad for Brooklyn, I hide in the other room and quickly and quietly eat it.

I lost my cup of homegrown tomato salad to my Macaw. He was really enjoying it, tho!

I do cook for the dogs and parrots, but it's good for them.

I did purchase my last (several) vehicles to fit the animals. I like taking them with me.

I now buy healthier human food because I share with the animals and I want them to be healthy.

My chickens have toys in their coop. Um, the quail have toys, too. My buttons even use a hamster wheel - it's sooo cute.

We have smuggled puppies into WalMart and sugar gliders into movie theaters, and....

I live in the UK and for my three cats I brought 3 of these rustic stackem's cat scratching post

Oddly enough getting them transported from Florida to the Uk was way more easy than getting them transported from London to Rothwell (its only 96 miles away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I sleep on the end of my bed so my dogs can be comfortable. Among many other things. I have also made my chickens treats before I eat and anyone else. LOL

each of my dogs have their princess pillows that sit on the couch. Hmans are not allowed to sit on or move the princess pillows because my dogs will just sit on you then.

my 2 puppies were just spayed on saturday so they are in the PICU (puppy intensive care unit) aka smack dab in the middle of my bed (instead of the crate in the back hall with the other dogs)

my moms dog has to have REAL bacon just 1 piece broken up on his moist dog food and he eats from the human plates (

) and not dog dishes cause hes family (**side note I am dog sitting him right now due to a fire.... not happy about doggy drool on my plates so I went to the dollar store and bought him his own)

Doggy drool on your plate TOOOOO FUNNYYYYYY

I buy paper plates but sometimes they get a dish, it's washable and sometimes I would rather kiss my dogs than my husband, well the x anyway. jhehehehe Kim

Hmmm....things I have done for my animals. I got rid of all my teflon pans because too much heat makes them toxic to my parrots. Ditto for my gas range and gas water heater - didn't want anything that could be dangerous for my birds. I only use natural cleaners - vinegar, baking soda, Murphy's oil soap...commercial cleaners are bad for birds. I cook breakfast for my parrots before I eat my own breakfast - they love scrambled eggs several times a week! I take my yorkie and maltese to the farm store to pick out their toys and treats- we always bring them something home from the farm store because they can smell it on us if we go without them. I have all sorts of foods for my chickens - some of my hens likes the Kent egg layer crumbles, someof them like the Farm store fresh ground egg layer, some of them want some cracked corn, boss, special scratch, high protein duck food......a trip to the farm store is the high point in our workweek - we want to see what special foods everyone wants that trip! Nah, I am just normal with my aqnimals!!!!!!!
