Waiting to come inside

Awesome. Every-time we get a new batch of baby chicks in we always have one that thinks she is one of the family. I drove once to the Pentagon to give a brief. I left about 415 am and when I arrived in the parking lot it was daylight. She had roosted on the axel I assume because she was running around the parking lot when i came back out at noon. Thats a 82 mile ride from my house. Same hen a few weeks later road to NSWC at Dahlgren VA this time not as far but took a week to catch her. My daughter had named her MyFriend. They all have a different little personality for sure.?ÿ

Way back when I was still too young to go to school we had a cat named for a town about 30 miles from our house,?ÿ Dad had taken a load of hay to sell at auction there one Saturday and when he got out of the cab he could here noises coming from the hay.?ÿ It was a half grown kitten that he recognized as one of the most recent litter.?ÿ He caught it, put it in the cab, managed to keep it from escaping when he got in to drive home, brought it home and proudly named it that town name.

That was much better than the milk cow we had named Eloise back in that same time period.?ÿ Dad had purchased her when she was still a heifer from Elmer whose wife was Eloise.

News from my daughter in Maine, mostly for Angel. That is Howie on the left, Parker standing, and Jessie on the right. Yes, Howie thinks he is one of the gang and is allowed in. Howie follows my daughter around and talks to her.

Awww!! Ok now that is cute!! She should let the chicken come in with the doggies! I believe they make "Chicken Diapers" so she doesn't have to worry about a mess on the floor. ?????ÿ

My Mother-In-Law hand sewn this mini chicken quilt for me. It fits perfect on the top of my glass stove! And saves my stove from scratching. Win-Win! ????ÿ

You can't come in right now!

Until you spit out that mouse.

Jessie looks like a melow dude, until he encounters strangers.(aka: Humans) ?????ÿ

Hell, after reading all this I'm headed to Popeys deep fried chicken, dirty rice, biscut, cole slaw and hot sauce. and Maalox....

@dougie?ÿ

That's a gift from the cat to you!!! It means they love you!! ???? ????ÿ

Too bad they cant bring in $100 bills as a gift. LOL!! ???? ????

Update - Cathy has adopted a rescue rooster, the white one in the photo, named LaRoosa. He immediately made friends with the rest of the critters and they have bonded.

@bruce-small?ÿ Those Guineas are great for keeping snakes away but they are LOUD.

For some insane reason, guineas will gladly throw themselves under a moving vehicle if provided the opportunity to do so.

@andy-bruner?ÿ

I understand they eat ticks too

The answer in northern states is "To show the raccoon it could be done." In Texas and its neighbors substitute "armadillo."

@bill93?ÿ

In the PNW; substitute "Opossum"?ÿ?ÿ

There has never been a better reply to why the chicken crossed the road than the Hemingway impersonator:

"To die. In the rain."
