Logan claims he has a girlfriend. When asked what her name is he can't remember!

I know K is very special, but I also think kids are just different "nowadays" than they were when we were kids - things were simple and slower. Kids just seem different - not really sure in a good way either - My DD hasn't had a "boyfriend" yet (she's 10) but I did catch her sitting a friend's (who happened to be a boy) lap and we had to have a discussion that girls don't do that. I was glad to see that she thought nothing of it, but I also had a talk with the boy's father. I was a bad girl growing up and want to make sure I keep an eye on her becuase if she's anything like her mother - I'm in for trouble and gotta nip that stuff in the bud

Thanks for the replies. Pearce, you didn't offend me at all.

When pressed by me and the counselor (in a playful manner) K informed us that her and W are going to a hotel to get married, spend the night and then go to breakfast in the morning. She knows you don't spend the night with someone unless you're married to them, so logically they are getting married first. But it's not right now...it'll be when they're 13!

So that alleviates some of my fears, she just wants to make things official with her boyfriend

On the farm front...

I have a duck in the bathtub. She was having trouble walking last night. She has been dewormed, is on antibiotics and received energy powder in her water. I've come to the conclusion that she was likely dehydrated, something that can happen quite frequently to livestock in winter. She's doing a lot better this morning and Vinnie is a little bit miffed to have another critter share his area of the house.

We had a dehydrated guinea in the shower the other day. She recovered within hours and was ready to leave the building. That bathroom is the coldest area of the house, so it's ideal for hospital triage.

Heard the goats carrying on about 3am and went to check it out thinking Diva might be kidding and found them having a goat party.

Gotta a busy day planned today and will be dropping off some of my goodies to the store. I was baking all day yesterday and they are also getting Peppercorn Jelly and Garlic Jelly.

Enjoy the new year folks, it's your opportunity for rebirth so to speak!

Um....this is really really gross so if you're gonna get squeamish please don't read this post.

There will now be a pause to allow you to exit...

My mom's rabbits ate one of their own! WHY??? WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT?! They have food - they have water - they are herbivorous not carnivores! Anyone have a clue?

 

[Straw Hat Kikos]

I've heard of rabbits doing that before. idk why though.

 

[Pearce Pastures]

I don't know why either but I have heard of that before too. Maybe like hamsters or gerbils, a young mom sometimes isn't ready to take care of them and will eat their young.

 

[elevan]

It's not babies being eaten by their mama though, it's one sibling (4 months old) eating their brother or sister. And I mean eating...nothing left but a foot and tail and found chewing on the foot.

Now that I have not heard of. That is weird...

About the siblings eating each other.

I have heard of sibling rivalry but that is taking it a little too far. Glad my sister never thought of it.
