What did your pet(s) do today?

nhplowboi · 12-01-2018, 10:47 AM

Peanut, the bantam house chicken, has found a back closet in the house to nest in. She is currently sitting on 8 eggs. Every morning she runs into the big living room and grabs a meal and a drink of water. It took us a while to find that nest but the secret is out now. We may or may not have feathered Christmas presents.

I loved reading you post about your chicken! Funny as all!

It has rained all morning but it is tapering off now around noon.

Kevie, Jennifer and Jeffrey have been in and out all morning.

They beg to go out, I tell them it is still raining but let them out anyway. I stand and wait between one and two minutes at the back door... they come rushing back to the covered patio, shake, then come back in ... all three stare at me with accusing, pouty faces like the rain is my fault. "Daddy made it rain!"
whatever ...

I feel certain they will get a few hours of dry playtime this afternoon.

its been raining here all day, so they have been laying on their heating pads chewing on their chewsticks.

Raining like crazy here too. Tiny Dog has made one quick trip outside. Every other time I offered to let her out, she looked at me like, "Nope! I can hold it!"

The cats have been relaxing in front of the heater in the garage; the one cat loves it and will sit in front of it for hours (they're outside cats btw).

The dogs barked at...something all day, no idea what they see or smell, but when I went outside to see them, my one dog seems to have learned to try and get sympathy by shivering, seeing if she'll be let in. It was -2C today, it wasn't that cold. They also have a heated garage to go in.

Monte decided to make a break for it and bolted out the door!

He's not liking this quarentine business at all.

We all got up early, they played outside for awhile under the floodlights out back. Then the cold temps got to them and they wanted to come inside. All three ate a big breakfast, went out again and played. Now they are on the bed napping.

Jeffrey makes me laugh so hard! He loves for me to sing that song from Romeo and Juliet ... you know, it starts out --->>> "A time for us, someday there'll be ... " Anyway, a few minutes ago, he was sound asleep. I am sitting in a chair near the bed. I started singing that song softly at first ... his eyes started blinking ... as I got louder, he very quickly jumped off the bed and threw his front end in my lap. LOL! I will have to video this next time. That is officially Jeffrey's song!! Heh Heh!

Jennifer is curled up in her electric blanket with only her nose sticking out. Kevin is sprawled out, no covers, and snoring oh so loud!

Now I must get up and unload two 48 lbs of Purina Healthy Choice Chicken flavor dry dog food from the truck. Sam's Club had it for $35.00 yesterday ... free extra lbs in each bag made it a great deal. It will last them 3 to 4 weeks. I mix it in an extra large bowl with one can of dog food, mash it up all together with some water and divide it into three bowls. They love it! Thinking about picking up another turkey today. They won't get all of it this time. I saw a recipe for dressing with the meat mixed in. Feeling brave ... I think maybe I can make it and have it turn out edible.

Simon, the sock snatcher, ripped up my bag of overnight clothes, last time I stayed with my bestie (sister-in-law), last week, and I thought he made off with my socks, but it turned out that I had them folded up and laid them on the sofa, but just forgot to put them in my newly torn up bag that Simon got ahold of.

In other news, the skunks who tore up my sister-in-law's property last summer, have come back to nest under their wrap-around porch, and sprayed both Simon and Toffee last night. Thankfully, Petunia (the cat) wasn't involved or affected this time (lol or not).

Petunia will be coming to stay with me for two weeks while my bestie has their home owner's insurance vendor come back over to de-skunk their entire home and property.

<<<<<<-- happy to babysit Petunia for a couple of weeks. *Maow-Maow*
