I haven't heard from Gracie's new 'mom' since Sunday, so I do hope things are going okay there. Leo is doing well here; he and Poppy are playing even more.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-23323953210975835962022-12-20T22:02:58.108-08:002022-12-20T22:02:58.108-08:00Michelle, for your sake, I'm happy to know tha...Michelle, for your sake, I'm happy to know that Gracie has gone to another home. It can be so difficult, trying to house train some dogs. The two most recent ones we've had, (both Marlys's service dogs) each had a bit of a problem at first. The Shih Tzu came from a home where they used "puppy pads" for all of the dogs in the house. He had been here for a while, when Marlys saw him start to go potty in the kitchen, and yelled "NO!" and grabbed him up and took him outside, where he finished his duty. That was all it took. After that he always went outside. Rico came from CA. We don't know what kind of a situation he was in. He was willing to go potty outside, but he lifted his leg on her bed, a couple of times, which was very upsetting. It didn't take too long to convince him to wait till he got outside. <br /><br />I like the looks of your new chickens, and the thoughts of pretty-colored eggs is very appealing. Lady E is very pretty! And I like the pictures of Leo and Poppy at play. <br /><br />Poppy's little half sister is a real cutie!Jeannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-71332939547096524252022-12-20T14:03:17.526-08:002022-12-20T14:03:17.526-08:00Leigh, glad you and A could comment; I've been...Leigh, glad you and A could comment; I've been notified via email that some can't for some reason. Frustrating all around!<br /><br />A, Gracie was high-maintenance, needing constant supervision OR crate time because she was not housebroken and training her to be so was proving very difficult. Life is quieter and easier with her gone, which I needed! Excellent thoughts about the fingerless mitts; I wonder if one of our neighbors would like the set....Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-90668292201624503632022-12-20T13:35:12.955-08:002022-12-20T13:35:12.955-08:00I don't know that I could have let Gracie go ....I don't know that I could have let Gracie go . . . but I know you are more used to letting animals go since you are on a farm. Happy for the new hens - I hope they lay you lots of eggs :-) You might be surprised - fingerless mitts over work gloves give another layer of warmth. Maybe there's a guy who would like that :-) A :-)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06602654042967048008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-42517565791299775052022-12-20T03:05:35.935-08:002022-12-20T03:05:35.935-08:00Great pics, Michelle.

Yesterday's blue egg was laid when the new white girls were still in a separate cage. I hope you have a wonderful holiday, too!<br /><br />Marlane, it isn't that I'm too busy to comment on your blog, it's that your blog settings won't LET me comment for some reason; believe me, I've tried!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-20785786043273203472022-12-19T15:09:45.415-08:002022-12-19T15:09:45.415-08:00You made my laugh out loud with what you said abou...You made my laugh out loud with what you said about Brian in your last post.
