More Quail
I got to see more quail in the other pasture today. I am not sure why it makes me happy to see them, but it does. I had not seen them much for a few years when we got here, but we are seeing them more and more. It is nice to see them. I hear them more than I see them.
Cats
I did get to see all the cats tonight, even Banana. I was excited to see him. He was less than thrilled to see me though. I was still glad to see him. I had not seen Onyx this morning, so I was worried about her, but she was home. I am not sure where Yeller had been, but he was out in the pasture coming back to the house. Athena does not seem to go too far from home.
Fulll moon
The full moon makes every one and everything crazy. I am telling you what, it is just insane. It might be some of the heat, too. Things have just been nuts the last few days. I just do not know why else it would be that way.
Tinkerbelle
Tinkerbelle is getting so arthritic. I feel so bad for her. She is trying to get up more, but she is having a hard time doing it. I have been seeing her get up more though. That is what a dr would tell a patient , so I guess that is a good thing. She came over just for me to pet her the other morning. I was happy to give her some petting.
Road runners.
I have been seeing some road runners again. I had no idea how funny they sound, but they do have a unique sound. I startled them and they ran off, but I do like to see them around here. We are starting to see more wildlife around here, and I love it.
These Dogs
These dogs are ridiculous sometimes. I am not sure where they even got the egg, but one of them brought an egg in and then they had a fight over the egg in the house. Oh how they drive me crazy, but I sure do love them. They ate the egg and shared it. I am rolling my eyes typing that.
Update on Tina
Tina Was not acting like herself. I was so nervous. I kept her in the pen for a couple of days with the fan to stay as cool as she could. She was definitely making me scared. She did end up doing okay and she started giving me the stink eye for not letting her out of the pen, so I let her back out and she was happy about that. I am continuing to keep a good eye on her, but she seems to be doing okay. She is still getting into the pen at night with her goats, in the morning, she is out with the other chickens. The goats sit and wait on her at night. It is still something that amazes me.
