Five Hens, Two Dogs, and a Pond
What a beautiful day it was today! While there are always other things needing done, none were pressing, so I spent the day hanging out with the chickens and dogs, and working on the pond remodel.
Enjoying her dust bath.

A possum is a flat animal that sleeps in the middle of the road.
There are 5,000 types of snakes and 4,998 of them live in the South.
There are 10,000 types of spiders. All 10,000 of them live in the South,
plus a couple no one's seen before.

Onced and Twiced are words.
It is not a shopping cart, it is a buggy!
Jawl-P? means, Did you all go to the bathroom?
People actually grow,eat and like okra.
Fixinto is one word. It means I'm going to do that.
There is no such thing as lunch. There is only dinner and then there's
supper.
Iced tea is appropriate for all meals and you start drinking it when
you're two. We do like a little tea with our sugar. It is referred to as
the Wine of the South.
Backwards and forwards means I know everything about you.
The word jeet is actually a question meaning, 'Did you eat?'
You don't have to wear a watch, because it doesn't matter what time it
is, you work until you're done or it's too dark to see.

All the festivals across the state are named after a fruit, vegetable,
grain, insect, or animal.
You carry jumper cables in your car - for your OWN car.
You only own five spices: salt, pepper, mustard, Tabasco and ketchup.
The local papers cover national and international news on one page, but
require 6 pages for local high school sports, the motor sports, and
gossip.
You think that the first day of deer season is a national holiday.
You know what a hissy fit is.
Fried catfish is the other white meat.
We don't need no dang Driver's Ed. If our mama says we can drive, we can

You're southern if you understand these jokes and forward them to your Southern friends and those who just wish they were from the SOUTH.

Nifty's Monday - Not so nifty.
First thing this morning, the little guy ran straight under Sly's big, clumsy feet. X-rays and stabilization (thanks Angie and Dr. Hill!), and a referral to the orthopedic vet to make sure there was nothing more complicated, showed a fairly simple fracture of the tibia with a 3-4 week heal time. Until then, looks like I'll be Nifty's assistance person.

In Queue
Sly will have an understudy soon. After very short notice, "Nifty" will be joining us on Saturday.
These were two of my favorite pics from the breeder caretaker. The pups left her house Monday and spent a few days at CCI's national headquarters in California, then Nifty and his brother Navajo flew to Ohio today. I was notified they landed safely. Judy and I will be traveling to Indy for a CCI training workshop, so the CCI staff will be bringing him along to me.
If you want to see the rest of the photos, here is her photo page.
