  • Flirted with you all my life…

    I’m overwhelmed by guilt, sadness and depression today.  I try to be a good person but sometimes I feel like I’m pretending to be something I’m not. Sadie got an armadillo last night and I let her kill it.  The poor animal was in a bad way by the time I pulled the dog off…

  • Bantam Chick Update

    The bantam chick is dead.  A snake got into the coop.  It wasn’t Big Black rat snake; he’s too big to have gotten in.  I suspect it was the smallish snake I saw by the coop the other night. That makes it 2 for 2.  Both chicks have lived about a week then died.
