I don't know if I remembered to post but...
The chickens are mostly grown now.and I'm letting them out to free range in the yard with my supervision. We.have feral cats about and yes, I admit it...I'm a mother hen. I love my chickies.
Eleanor the cat has taken to darting outside when the door is open. She was previously too scared to venture out. Now.she.goes frequently against her parents wishes.
In doggie news... I have Bitsy back from my mom.since her health precludes her from pet care. I will just keep her from now on. Her other dog, Bella, may go with my brother or uncle when the time comes.
My daughter's pit bull, Oliver, who was going to be our dog is again going to be our dog. Her fiance will be traveling for work and they haven't the means to keep him.
So....
We are now.a family of
4 dogs
1 or 2 cats depending on the tendencies of Max
8 chickens
And that is all fine by me
