Life With The Chickens

The three kittens who are still home are now 5 months old. I found the orange tiger, Trouble, chasing the chickens the other day because, well, he likes to cause trouble. Bob, a dark gray tiger, is just Bob. And then there is Sandy. I often find him among the new flock of pullets trying to rub up against them to get a little attention. The chickens are used to their four-legged companion. In fact, I'm kind of concerned that they are too comfortable with him. There were a couple of days last week that I found several of the pullets following a squirrel over to the edge of the woods.

Look What Ya Went And Done...

Yep, I know it. I've actually known for years what happens at times when ya put a male and female together. Especially when it comes to the animal world. Well, then, what was I thinkin' when I opened the goat gate between the buck and the does in mid-April? Obviously, I wasn't thinking. Because, now, Sadie (aka Lunch or Dinner) is due to have kids by the end of this month.

Sadie & twins?

The photo doesn't do her justice. She is wider in true life than she appears here.

Look Ma, Can I Keep It?


He won't eat much
And just so you'll know where he is...



I'll keep him in my pocket.
