So: Me, Quinn, and my Mom were all sitting out on the front porch talking -discussing our goals for the rest of the day...then we heard a great crash.
We all run inside to find my Mom's good pie pan shattered on the floor covered in speckles of gooey blueberry, and broken crust.
(Picture without the pie-pan.)
And the culprit had fled...
...But only to the back door. Where he stood, cowering, licking his jowls in fear and pleasure....
Caught red-chinned.
My family has many nicknames for this big boy.
For those of you who may not know -Duke of Georgia is an American Bulldog, and big brother to my dawg Zelda.
He goes by Jarhead, Dukers, Duky, and, a few -ah -other names.
(He responds rather well to Butthead. Which is an affectionate insult.)
He's a sweet, not-so-brainy, loving, clumsy, horse-of-a-dog.
He's a good boy.
Brother and sister....
---
When I was out taking picture of flowers, I heard this out-of-place popping noise.
I turn and look...to see Duke and Zeb's soccer ball.
He claims to have not done it.
He pleads that he is innocent.
He swears that he just wanted a quick taste...
But looks speak louder then words.
Meet Jill.
Jill is a 3-month-old chihuahua puppy: and my grandparents' new doggie.
My Grandma brought this purty little baby in from Arizona, surprising my household, my Grandpa, and Dolly, who now has a new sister in the home.
She's a beautiful purebred, and is completely sweet: very playful, and tiny as all get-out.
Rose loves her: she calls her the 'Choo-choo-wa-wah' puppy.
And another good thing about this little dog, is that Dolly gets along great with her -they play, and Jill is very brave dispite her tiny size -not fearful at all around Dolly, who is a giant compared to her.
I can't wait to see this dog again! :)
Welcome Jill!
What more can I say?
^-^
He's a sleepy boy.
We cleaned out the chicken/goat coops today.
We went inside and feasted upon soem very yummy cookies -thanks Momma! -then I went outside shortly after and took some pictures!
The chickens we have been letting out during the day -and here is my baby rooster Snowy and two of his ladies.
I'm very proud of this boy -he's doing very well in the pecking order. And he's such a pretty boy. With his handsome tail feathers and bright red comb.
I like taking pictures of dandilions. Sorry!
Back to the critters -
Anybody remember Diamond? The little white chick that was -is -my favorite of our last clutch of chicks?
She's turned into a beautiful young lass -just look at her nice buff feathers!
Here's two of her sisters:
Our buff polish.
Her feather-head is looking pretty good!
She's quite proud of it, you should she her strut....
One of our Cuckuo Maran chicks.
These birds peck -at -every -thing!
The ground, the air, poop, my feet, eachother, my toes, the fence, my hands...you get the point.
I am sorry.
But this rooster is to darn cute.
He's our big-boy rooster. His name is M&Ms. Which is not a very tough sounding name.
He gets teased about it. He told me.
I told him to suck it up.
Now he ignores me.
True story.
My baby boy Tonks. He's doing really good. And is high in the pecking order now-a-days. Which surprises me because he is blind in one eye, and tiny.
Very tiny.
He's a sweet-heart though.
Our big ducks!
Our baby ducks!
Walking in their little row...how cute!
That's Gavin, lagging behind. I think Gavin is a hen. Though I have my doubts about the other four. They all look pretty big to be females....
Hermione!
I found her hiding in her spool chewing cud.
There is my proof.
Hahah. :)
For some reason -with goats -food is always better the second time 'round.
(Bad picture, sorry!)
My bantam Jellybean. Her eggs should be hatching soon!
I've been watching them carefully, candling them, and everything.
They look pretty good, though some seem to be a little behind. Which could be a problem if she has to take care of the older ones....
She's ready for them to hatch -though, as am I.
She's got that concentrated look, now.
Leia was hiding in the spool also -though she's just watching me....
The baby ducks.
All resting together...
Awww.
^-^
I end this post with a picture of Duke.
Looking like a total genius.
Poor dog.
You just gotta love him!
We went to my grandparents' house yesterday.
And I took pictures! :)
Birdhouse!
Ooooo, fountain-thingy.
A skull!
Water drops!
Dolly!
Look at her little beard! :)
Such a pretty dawg.
Hm.
No people pictures.... Ah well. :)
Anyways! I hope you enjoyed those photos!
Everything is going good here; the baby ducks and chicks are doing well -they are now running around the chicken lot with the other birds and my goats.
My bantam hen Jellybean is sitting on 5 eggs, all fertile! Hopefully they will be hatching in the next week or so.
We also have a gamebird sitting -Willow calls her Sun -she's on 1 'duck' egg. This egg is fertile, and is way behind Jellybean's eggs (I have candled them,) and she started sitting way before my bantam, which makes us think she has a duck egg. And -well -we found the egg on the ground.
^-^
Hopefully we'll have some more baby birds so!
*Cheers*
I have also decided to start running again.
Starting today.
Hopefully.
*Coughs*
I'm going to try to do two miles today.
But first, we must concentrate on worming our doggies.
Mom has just confirmed that Duke has tapeworms.
Great -eh?
It probably has something to do with all the dogs chewing on an old beaver carcass....
Bleh.
I bought 7 new books last week.
My Daddy took me out to eat and to Mckays for my birthday!
A little late...my birthday is in November, but I had a great time all the same!
:)
Here are my new books:
The Sherlock Holmes books are awesome!
We saw the movie not long ago -I loved it!
And so, of course, I had to buy two books, each with about 12 stories in them about Sherlock Holmes!
Then I have those three Redwall books, that Seekers book, and a Star Wars book!
Yeah!
^-^
Little Miss Dolly is staying with me again.
Here she is, looking so pretty with her nice mohawk.
Here's my doggie, looking so pretty-ish in her laziness.
Cody! Chowing down on some ratty food.
Hm. I wasn't too sure what to make of this.
Master Chief!
The Lightning Rat!
But, no, really: Master Chief.
Named after a Spartan from Halo -is quite fast -and so is Cody.
Now to compare the Spartan and Rat:
Master Chief.
Master Chief.
Can't you just see the resemblance?
