Bits and Pieces for This’n’That Thursday

October 17, 2013

It’s This’n’That Thursday, hosted by 2 Brown Dawgs and Ruckus the Eskie. A day for cobbling together bits and pieces that don’t make up an entire post. I love it! Things like –

Me and Weird Al!
*SQUEEEEE* This is me with WEIRD AL YANKOVIC!!!!! Can you believe it?!?

This weekend my boy, Sasquatch, and I will be going to the Weird Al concert! We can’t take the dogs.

Pretty Aussie mixes
Flash is telling me to pay attention to the road and stop taking their pictures. You’d think I’d listen. He’s also telling me to give him a treat. Preferably a Chicken Taffy from Jones. He looks upset that I’m not taking him to the concert, doncha think? Patches has stopped speaking to me altogether.

I’m seriously considering taking the duck, though.

Jimmy the cute duck
Jimmy the Duck likes sunrises and sunsets, eating bugs and mucking in the mud. Most of all he likes swimming in his wading pool.

See that wading pool? I cleaned it out yesterday. Two dead rats were floating in it. I did not take pictures. You’re welcome. It was kinda cool, but also a sign that I need to change some of my feeding practices with the chickens. The hazards of raising backyard poultry … *sigh*

A playhouse on a truck
Kinda felt like the Clampetts, bringing this house home on the back of the truck

Speaking of the chickens and changing practices, last weekend we picked up a large wooden play house that someone was giving away on Craigslist. I’ve been scanning the Craigslist ads for weeks, looking for a large doghouse, coop, playhouse – anything large and sturdy enough to house the girls for winter.

Chicken coop in progress
Hunny rebuilt the deck and got the house up last night. Now it needs walls and shingles, a ramp up the trap door and stairs for me!

This was free. It took work to dismantle, get it home, rebuild. So worth it. My chickens will be warm and safe all winter!

In other news, I’m heading to Louisiana next weekend. My little sister is having a baby! Her second, a girl, I’m calling her Leia. Sadly, my sister doesn’t have a dog. But! I’ll be staying with family, coming and going, that do have dogs! AND I’ll be having lunch with a dog blogger while I’m there! WOOHOO! I’ll be bringing treats, of course. 😉

Hmm … have you entered the giveaway yet? I know it’s just a DVD, but it looks like it’ll be cute. And it’s about Golden Retrievers. Where’s Sugar? She needs this DVD.

A lovely senior Golden Retriever
Sugar is a sweetie. I wanted to tuck her into my suitcase and take her home. Her mama wouldn’t let me. Hmph.

So there’s our Thursday. Weird Al. Dead Rats. Dogs. Duck. Chicken Coop. Babies. Lunch. Sugar. Giveaway. I feel like I’m missing something … treats! Can’t forget the treats!

Waiting for Jones chews
See Flash licking his lips? I’ve opened the bag of Chicken Taffy.

I’ve been using the Jones Chicken Taffy and Big Paw Jerky to train Patches (she’s eleven years old) to come in when I call her. Patches has been so bad about her selective hearing. The treats work! She comes every time I call, now. Yay!

Okay. That was it. Y’all have a great day!

Until I write again …
