Retrievers blog, another chicken shows up … and the FDA says, ‘no worries’

Pet Connection Blog — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 00:00:00 GMT

Help! Help! She says she’s going to trim nails today! Can anyone save us? — Love, the retrievers (and Drew)

***

Saturday morning and there’s no putting it off any longer. I gotta do something about the taxes, the final, final, final deadline less than a month away. Finding everything for the accountant is Job One, and preparing myself emotionally for his, “You know, if you’d just … ” is Job Two.

But hey, it’s not worse than a root canal and that Special Happy 50th Birthday Screening Test, right? And I’ve survived both of those, plus my invitation to join the AARP, so one must soldier on.

***

Last night I came home to find 13 chickens. Now, as you may recall, I have no rooster, so this increasing of the flock isn’t something I planned for. And since immaculate conception isn’t something I’d read about in the chicken books, I immediately suspected my neighbor Judy had a hand in the mystery.

And indeed, I was right.

If you’ve been following the summer saga, you know she and I traded some chickens around in the interest of flock harmony, me trading Harriet (Buff Orphington, a big, dopey chicken who has never laid a thing) and Eulalie (Cinnamon Queen, too young to lay and always fighting with Hester) for her Lacey (Silver-Laced Wyandotte with a bad attitude). When all was said and done, I had 11 chickens and she had maybe a half-dozen.

But she liked Eulalie so much she went back to Dr. Sue Chan and got three more Cinnamon Queens, and decided that I needed one to make up for having given up Eulalie. For good measure, she brought back Harriet, who was just as big and dopey in Judy’s yard, but who became favorite pecking target of Judy’s Rhode Island Reds.

What it means, though, is that I have a chicken without a name. She’s mostly red, and kinda related to Nadine and Gladys (and Eulalie, across the street). Seems a nice, friendly chicken, and she’s already laying dark brown eggs.

Ideas?

I swear this is the last chicken I’m adding, although … 13 is an unlucky number, so maybe I should add one more.

What do you think of dog backpack carriers?

Sat, 20 Sep 2008 00:00:00 GMT

I have seen a lab in my neighbourhood with a backpack on his back, and she walks with him like that. Not sure if there is anything in there. I have heard that some dogs/breeds like to have a "purpose" in their day, and feel like they are working.

Any thoughts on these?
