Went shopping with my girls today for the school year. Can you believe that I tired them out???

I need to know what amount of space a mouse needs in order to get in to my coop and eat food. (Inches are preferred)

How about a hole the size of a nickel.

HI All!

GR... hope your doggie gets over whatever is wrong. At that age he's ripe for an ear infection and they can mess up balance bad. Duke was getting them frequently the last few years.

Vicki.... Awwwwww

Angi.... Awwwwww

DrH... Nothin' wrong with a man cryin' over a beloved pet!!! It means you have a heart!

BigZ... Sorry about your hen, so sad when you've had it so long. I don't feel quite as bad when a predator takes an bird while it's ranging... but come in my coop and I'm P!ssed!

BBP... yep... sounds like a couple of days!

TO... congrats on the hatch and your DD and her horse!

Amy... Sounds like you had a great day!

Bl4.... LOL looks like you had fun too!

tiki... Handsome Dude!

Worked in the coop for a while today, then my hips started to protest! Sure wish my body would let me do half of what my head wants! This place would be so cool looking! Still no hot water, DH said he was going to talk to someone and see if they could come look at it. I've installed 2 of them... beyond that... I know nothin' 'bout 'em!
Time to make the mash and go to bed...night all!

the size of a pencil earser, a mouse is able to flatten itself out pretty small.

Am I seeing things? Noone posted after Cind yet this morning? Wow! The cool weather last night must have everyone sleeping in.

DrH, I agree wholeheartedly with Cind. Not a darn thing wrong about a man showing his love for a beloved pet. Hugs. (Stupid smileys not working).

Bigz, I am so sorry to hear about your brahma hen. That just stinks. Hugs to you too.

Bl4, yes, it does look like you had fun. That's the important thing.

Amy, all I can say is, Oh my!

Tiki, that is one handsome roo.

Cind, I hear ya on wishing your body would do what your brain wants to do. I know that feeling all too well.

I wanted to post some pics but that doesn't seem to be working either. I think some chicks hatched yesterday. I could hear some awful loud peeping under mama. I think 2 are due today too, but I haven't looked under her yet. I'm excited to know what colors they are going to be. On another note, my alpha lav roo has decided to start attacking DH whenever he looks away. That stinks because he is really friendly to me & will jump up onto my lap. Well, better get into gear. Have a great day!

I can't believe you have baby chickies! Yes! Post pictures when you can. It would be so exciting to see some Lav!!!

If Mooses kids are anything, they are born to go broody. I had 3 broodies at one time! And they started laying very young too. I'm hoping most of the chicks are from the lavs.

Good morning! Yes CC I did go back to bed after I let the dogs out at 6:30. It was nice to cover up and go back off to sleep for a bit! Now the coffee is made and dogs and inside birdies fed...I can sit and chat at you for a while!
Cind I know what you mean about that too...darn brain anyhow! It always thinks I can get more done than I actually can. But then I think about how there are people that are worse off and have it harder...then CC pops in! I think it must be the nature of people that have much to do...and if you have ANY animals there is always much to do!
Yesterday night something pulled one of my Bobwhites through the mesh of the cage side. There were a bunch of large feathers left around the cage when we went down there in the morning. I set a trap last night but havent been out yet this morning. Part of the cage has metal around the corner to about 8" up the side but it is only on 1 corner. That is where they usually huddle to sleep so I might have to do a bit of modification if there was another attack last night. The babies in the chick TV are doing well this morning. I did have to remove the one with the twisted legs--just way too sad to see it trying to keep up with the able bodied ones. The taped leg baby has learned to sit up and can hop a little bit now. I will try removing the splint tonight. Quail still freak me out how they sleep though! Legs out to the side and flat out--they look like they are dead and all of a sudden pop up and start running around! Very comical!

Well-I guess I will head out and see what I can see...back later! TerriOinanticipationofacatch

Very stiff and sore this morning..... but I feel GREAT! The WI run was soooooooo much better than the IL run! Many more obstacles and much less running (thank goodness). We had much better mud too! The girls running this were doing mud wrestling after each mud pit so they could get muddy to the extreme! It was quite comical to watch.

Ghost, good luck with your Boxer. I hope it is nothing serious. I have a Boxer/Lab cross who is up there as well. She just turned 12 this July, I keep a close eye on her since she could take a turn for the worse quickly.

I guess I am suffering from CRS myself..... I can't remember much else.

More

for Dr.H of course. No one should fault you for showing emotion.... the ones who do not you have to worry about!

Off to do some shopping (if I ever get out of bed and get dressed that is....)

Later!
