That's just like my 'Little Man" was, he made it to 9yrs but lost him a couple of yrs ago....tho, he didn't have the bob tail.View attachment 26927

Beautiful!! I'm sorry you lost your cat. When my dads cat died this past year (19 yrs old) we were crushed. We knew it was coming, she had gone senile in the two years leading up to her death, but she had been a part of our family for so long.
I had a polydactyl that looked a lot like your Little Man

You will see me either call my daughter 'Boogsey' or 'Sweet' when I talk about her. Love my baby girl

Her ears seem a bit unnaturally long.
And hairy.


Very cute!

On another note: I think my neighbor is feeding my outside dog. This is cool, I don't mind, but I have been trying to feed him as well, and have wasted the food a few times.

That reminds me when I lived beside my stepsister and my little dog got to where she was barely eating but got fatter and fatter and then I caught her in their backyard eating scraps she threw out every night. After that I took her out to do her buisness, lol.

So I woke up late this morning and on the one day I slept in every one of my rabbits had tipped their bowls over. No one has water when I wake up. My two turkey poults were about to kill each other. My goat was screaming at me for being late for breakfast. And my daughter had a fever off and on last night; now the fever is absent, but she has diarrhea.
I then see that my favorite Serama rooster is MIA. I look everywhere. As I am looking for him I am also having to take breaks to help Boogsey out with her bathroom situation. Before I got back out from doing this my bulldog finds the armadillo that the neighbors' dogs killed a night or so before. She has a VERY sensitive stomach and she knows this. She ate it anyway. Then decided it smells like something you need to roll around on top of. GROSS!! Sarabi, bath time!!
The poor rooster got put on hold. As I'm bathing babybull, Boogsey has another bathroom situation. Only this time she doesn't make it to the potty. So I get done with Sarabi bath and have to put Sweet into the tub before I can even take the pants off.
After the crazy bath time battle I got back to the Serama search. I find him wedged between the barn wall and a stack of shop lights, under a tire!! I have had to search for him before, but last time I had given up on day two. I found him by chance on day three while looking for something in the tool shed. Of all places. He was wedged under a tire iron and had his butt pinned to the floor!! He had to get a bath because of the three days of poop pasted on where he was stuck. The only reason I found him then was because I literally heard his death rattle. I gave him gator aid and 'rooster booster' for a couple days and he was fine. I named him Lucky. lol. Anyway, this time he had pooped on himself as well. Another bath!!

Geez, I sure hope tomorrow is a better day!

 

[Kaye]

Ha!! Me too. I really just hope Boogsey feels better tomorrow

Well sounds like ya kept your hands in Water most of the day.
Sure glad ya found your Roo...hope he turns out okay.
...and most assuredly for your daughter, there was a virus swept thru here that was affecting people, sinus and stuff, hopefully it will pass fast for her.

Glad all are well and don't worry about those wrinkly fingers of yours... just water "damage" that will fade away soon enough.

Wow!! So today has been very eventful. Woke up to coffee (LOVE when I don't have to make it), then my neighbor/best friend tells me she has found her real father after looking for the past 16 years. That by itself was enough excitement for today.
Nope. There's more!!
I was doing laundry today and realized that my dryer hadn't heated up after I checked the clothes. Nice. So this gets put on hold for a while.
We are out feeding and notice one of the OEGB hens is just standing there droopy and mouth agape. I picked her up and she had lost a lot of weight already. I dosed her and put her in a holding cage for tonight at least. By around lunchtime or so I can already see her looking better.
Now, before I go into the house to fix Boogsey some lunch I got another call from Heather (neighbor/best friend) telling me that her father has a very rare genetic disease. Heather's daughter died of an unknown genetic disease. Chrocot-Marie-Tooth disease is what her father has. It is a neurological disorder that is shown by causing the muscles to atrophy. Her daughter was thought to have a form of muscular dystrophy that ultimately led to her death. We are still trying to find out some answers, but I feel like we are closer than ever to the answer of what really killed Hayleigh. Please say a little prayer for her. This is a lot to process.
@mygoldendoe has sent me some fiber to try to learn to spin!!
I can't wait!! I have been studying videos for a couple of days now. lol
Oh!! And Boogsey feels a lot better today. Still a bathroom issue every now and again, but back to acting like a dinosaur, so I know she feels better
