Follow Up Friday

I love you guys. I do. I love that Kirby the Dorkie was the first one to ask, last Friday, how I got my name. I’ve lived with Flea so long that I don’t think about how people will take it.

First grade — Someone, yesterday, moaned that there weren’t more redhead photos of the little Flea. This is a scan of a 40 year old photo, so it doesn’t pop the way it once did.

So this Follow Up Friday (thank you, Jodi, Heart Like a Dog) let’s tackle a whole new set of questions!

Taryn, A Tail of Two Cardis, asks:

[quote align=”center” color=”#999999″]Ryan’s get big! Starting to take on a “goose” shape. Does he know his name?[/quote]

Face off with a gosling — He still likes to sit on my lap. As he gets older, he’s better about not pooping on me. All of the birds learn that. It’s rather nice.

Ryan knows who I am. He’ll be six weeks tomorrow, but I’m not sure he knows his name. He knows mama’s voice. And he calms right down when I pick him up. And yes, he’s getting HUGE.

Got your bangs! — He’s about the size of the chickens now, catching up with the ducks.

Jen, My Brown Newfies, asks:

[quote align=”center” color=”#999999″]Can Ryan Gosling get any cuter?![/quote]

Heh. YEAH.

Kolchak Puggle asks:

[quote align=”center” color=”#999999″]Say, will you or Suzy be at Superzoo?[/quote]

O hai! I’m betting Suzy will be! But I’m not. The reason being, I am not a retailer. Suzy is. I am a blogger. So I will be attending Bark World this summer! Who’s with me?

Yesterday I had company, some cute munchkins whose mama needed some quality time with her oldest child. My urban farm got a face lift, with kids helping to clean the duck pool, wash the dog, wash the bunny’s butt. They played the piano a lot, too. Why do kids do that? Nearly every child who comes in wants to sit and play the piano. I love it.

But I think that this was their favorite thing:

Cute kid and rabbit — This adorable child gave the bunny a little taste of his own medicine. At the same time, the dogs got a break from the bunny’s “attention”. We all breathed a sigh of relief.

And giving Big Paw jerky treats to Flash and Patches. The dogs haven’t had that many treats at once in a long time.

Another tired dog — Flash was one pooped pup!

Tired dog — Poor Patches curls up as tightly as she can to avoid the bunny’s loving.

Just a reminder, you can usually find Jones Natural Chews in your local pet store (I’m thinking your dogs will love the Beef Liver Taffy and Big Paw Jerky as much as my babies do), but if you can’t, you can always order anything Jones carries from Natural Dog Treat Shop. You might even want to sign up for their special of the month club. 🙂

I’ll leave you with one last image. My sweet, sweet, bitey duck.

Sniffing duck — It’s Jimmy’s new party trick, identifying different scents and what they’re comprised of.

Until I write again …

P.S. I lied. Petey wanted to get in on the photo action.
