Please send chickens..




The deal in our home is if a chicken wanders onto our property we can keep it. We can hear roosters crowing in the morning, so somewhere nearby someone has chickens. Yet, seven years later, no chickens have wandered here.

What do we get instead? Puppies. This latest duo arrived on Friday. We came home to yipping and barking as they came out from their hiding spot. I posted on a group to see if someone wanted them (no takers) and we just hoped they'd wander -back- home on their own. Saturday morning they're still there and my oldest is starting to fall in love with them. However, God provides!, on Jim's way to town he came across animal control. They were looking for some other dogs that have been in the area. Jim asked him to stop by and pick up the puppies - and he did.

I'm sure they'll find a new home soon. They were friendly and cute, which is about all you need in a puppy!

Now to wait on chickens...

We had to have the Animal Control officers come out to our house last week because we had a stray cat show up that was a bit TOO friendly... we could hardly get in the house because of it and he kept jumping up on the screen and up on the lower windows.

Our chickens don't wander much, so I wouldn't hold out for your neighbors chickens to come to you! LOL Now, our guinea fowl cover a lot of ground.

The puppies are cute and I fear they would have found a home here.
