Chilly Morning all!
LOVE this weather-can't wait for snow!! (Ducks from Vicki's swing).hehehe
The Girls are fine but looked rather forlorn and chilled so I set up a heat lamp for them.
Buzzy has been basking under hers so I am not longer getting glared at by a pheasant every time I go into the coop. Geesh! You;d think I was personally responsible for the winter or something by her glares!
I decided to put another heat lamp up since I have a BO looking pale and under the weather. She was ok yesterday. I'm actually kinds concerned since she is the only on looking off that she might be having egg issues. I have a hen laying very very soft eggs and am wondering if that is her. I'll check on her again later and might have to get DH to help round her up for an exam. She is pretty wild.
The rabbits are loving the cold weather too!
That is about it on the home front. I need to fill bird feeder again and get a heater.deicer for the bird bath. I think I'll have to toddle on over to F&F.
David- Sorry to hear your feeling under the weather.....hope you feel better soon.
Snooze-Those roosters sound as if they are some form of Game Fowl cross. Old English most likely.
Cind-Thanks! I cannot wait to get my Kindle! I have been drooling for over a year-almost two. I've wanted on ever since they came out and were like $400 bucks! I kept waiting and over the years the prices has dropped. Especially then the Nook came out. Now the "same" Kindle that was so expensive all those years ago is now only $70-ish. Amazing what a few short years, some competition and new technology does to drive priced down! LOL!
Kristi-BigFam is spot on in the puppy play department! Your pup sees your kids as his litter mates. That is why he sees you as alphas and the kids are "fair game" to dominate. The kids need to stop playing with hands and just with toys. When he get to ruff, stop all play. Also have the kids start training him basic commands. Being a herding breed his is whip smart and at his age he can start his training with the basics. His attention span is the biggest problem there since it will be the size of a gnat, but it will get longer and longer the more he ages. My first Aussie was completely house broken at 8 weeks of age. He only had two accidents right after he was neutered. The anesthesia was hard on him and he peed in his bed he was so out of it.
He came in #2 in his obedience class. He technically was #1 for the puppies but he got the top award snagged out from under him by a "sleeper". An adult Pappion (sp?) named Red. Red was a rescued puppy mill breeder who just sat under his moms chair the whole class. He was there for socialization and when it came time for the big graduation test, Red aced it. We were very happy for him. His biggest accomplishment was to play with the Weimeraner pup that was always next to him in class. Red decided he was ok and initiated play for the first time in his life. It was so cool!!!!
Well, best get gone....Later!
