Good point, Taxy!
That's okay, I'll have yours!
Send it my way! The girls love all things green--including asparagus. Green looks nice with purple--and I dress them in purple whenever possible.

I was holding a 4 week old puppy this morning, she was so sweet.
Pics? A new pup for the facility?
PrincessFiona60 said:No pics, I didn't know she would be there. Her name it Roe, I can't remember what breed Ang said she was, terrier of some sort. Ang is my counterpart for Longterm Care, she does the MDS for all other types insurance.
Jack Russell Terrier
Ruh roh! Jack Russels are brilliant and devious! Quite a handful!

Learning to FLY!
Look, Ma, I can fly!
The chicks will be three weeks' old Sunday, and several of them are spreading their wings and learning to fly. I do not clip wings--flight does give the birds the opportunity to escape predators/threats. It also makes them much harder for the humans to catch them. Their wing feathers have come in, but the rest of their feathers have not developed. Their little tails have developed--something I didn't think about--the tails are so small when they hatch, you don't really notice that they have tails...they do now! Must get out there with my camera today. They are going in and out today, perching on top of their feeders, the "nest box" in which they sleep...and peeping none stop. They grow up so fast!
I do remember the young Plymouth Rocks and how hard they were to corral when they didn't want to go into their area...I've gotten smarter, I now have a butterfly net to use if I need to catch one. Once they reach their adult weights, the ability to fly diminishes, but there is a lot of time between now and then. I don't know how well the butterfly net will work if they take flight...Who knew having chickens could be so much FUN!
