The "Queen"

Kady has been staying with us and she loves to fussed over. She was sleeping on Gabe's lap on this pillow. He picked her up and carried her into the other room like this. She hardly moved. She is such a pampered pooch.

Please?

Bess was making a snack. When she turned around, she had some company. I guess Gracie and Willie wanted some too.

Gracie

Yesterday I posted a picture of Willie, today is Gracie's turn. This pose is one of her favorites. She often lays like this for quite a while. Silly dog!

Willie the Cat

Willie aka Punchy looking like he is a bit annoyed at having his picture taken.

Punchy and the Train

Willie, aka Punchy loves Dan's new train set. He will sit and watch the train go around and around. Silly cat.

Drinking or Fishing?

Our cat, Yowsie, often uses the pond to drink from. Sometimes I wonder, is he just drinking or checking out the fish in the pond for a quick snack!?

Yowsie

Our kitty, Yowsie. picked a very pretty place to take a nap. These are the petals from the rose bush.

Guinea Fowl

We have had guinea fowl for many years. We only have three left, but we think the female might be sitting on a nest, so hopefully we will have more soon. They are the silliest looking birds, but do a good job on the tick population.

Goldie's Summer Quarters

Goldie has been moved to the outside pond for the summer. He seems very happy to be back in the little pond.

Swimming Dog

Gracie loves to swim in the pool with the kids. She goes right and paddles around. After she has a good dip, she'll get out and run around and around the pool as fast as she can. The kids love having her in the pool with them. I don't always love that she like to shake off near my chair.

Bantams

Our chickens are quite used to the kids coming and going. The bantams are actually quite tame. Bessie likes to feed them corn right out of her hand. Aren't they colorful!

Eggs

We have chickens and I really enjoy them. They are so terribly silly to watch and of course, they give us wonderful eggs everyday. We have bantams, which are pint sized chickens and regular layers. We get anywhere from 4-8 eggs a day of varying sizes. Yum!

Day 66 - Sun "dog" - 3/7

Our dog Gracie is a pretty laid back dog. She spends a good deal of her time sleeping or at least lounging around. On any sunny days, she moves from place to place around the house to follow the patches of sun that come in the windows. In the mornings you can find her in one of the rooms with east facing windows and later in the day, the west facing windows. I often envy her the time and leisure to sit and enjoy the sunshine. Ah, the life of a dog.

Day 48 - Parakeets - 2/17

Our parakeets love the early morning sun. Their window faces east and they get the first few rays the come through the trees. Even on frosty morning, this window is nice and warm and the birds seem to really enjoy the brightness of the day.
