I went ahead and made a Christmas chick thread. DH is wrapping up the brooder box in our room in case we need to give it to them today. I am not sure how long it takes from pip to hatch so just want to be ready. And, duh, he is going to have to run out to TSC to get some baby feed....they might want to eat in the next few days and not thinking layer pellets are going to do the trick

Been too busy to write.
Christmas was great. The day before, we ended up giving them the incubator we got them since the eggs were starting to hatch out. They spent the day watching chicks pop out of the shells, absolutely engrossed in process.
The kids got us up at exactly six in the morning, because we had asked that they try to wait until at least six. We woke up to their giggles in the the living room. Santa brought them some books, a few little toys, but then there was line of chocolates and glitter leading up to a ribbon tied to the blind opened, like Santa wanted them to open the window. In the front yard was a done climber, those metal ones that you see on playgrounds sometimes. Plus, there were the boot tracks, sleigh runner marks, and hoof print all around it in the snow, Those kids were so excited. We did a french toast casserole breakfast, exchanged gifts, and relaxed most of the morning.
Then on Wednesday, of course, we got up early and made our trip to get our first LGD pup, Charlie. We tried to leave at 6AM but we set the clock wrong when the power went out (had it as PM instead of AM). Woke up and hurried to get out the door, and then realized about an hour into the trip that we were heading into a blizzard. Love that Indiana weather. No problems really, just had to take it easy. When we got to Poorboys place, it was pretty chilly and blowing. One of her beautiful dogs was there in the pasture, blending in with the snow but letting us know she was there. It was so cool to meet another forum member. Charlie stole our heart from the second we held him. The ride home took awhile (we had a detour and made a stop at a TSC to get out for a bit). Once home, I gave Charlie a quick bath and photo session before putting him in his new barn.
Today is going to be another busy one. First, cleaning up the house, then a vet trip for Charlie, and more relatives coming in this afternoon (Grandma, my aunt and uncle).

We have nose licking! Well, that sounded weird. My pygmy Lily let Charlie lick her nose, his tail all wagging. It was just a few seconds but I am getting so excited about this, and not feeling as bad about not giving him constant cuddles.
