Ok this is weird. All the animals go nuts in the morning when I trudge thru the 3 feet of mud and 3 miles to my barn...NO I am not exagerating. well maybe a little.
(c: First i feed the horses. Then the goats and llamas, then I am in the walkway in the barn on the other side is Fannie Alice going totally out of her mind in starvation....she says she is so skinny she will blow away..NO she is not exagerating. Well maybe a little.
I am reaching over with the bag of some feed in my right hand, reaching to grab her bowl. She grabs the bag and is tossing it and me back and forth over the stall fence, i am still trying to pull the bowl over. All of a sudden there is a huge flapping of this huge, white, bird crashing on Fannies face in between us!!!
Feefee turkey was not happy about Fannie fighting with HER momma!!! lol she went nuts pecking fannies snouter!! Fannie let go, I grabbed the bowl. Feefee walked away a bit, dumped the feed in the bowl...Feefee and Fannie were both eating out of the bowl when I shut the door to the barn.....
Will wonders ever sease? never, ever a dull moment. I was in the back yard behind the deck pigs houses. Was picking up all the darn empty cat and dog food cans I had ready for recycle that the dumb dogs dragged all over to lick the last drops out....I was sorta squatting in my black and white cotton house dress with grey wool socks and my bright orange garden shoes....picking up gross muddy cans.
Bob the deaf piggy decides he wants to follow me and be my best friend. I am petting him and talking to him..then would say,"what am I talking toyou for, you are deaf?" Well what do I talk to pigs for anyway...
I am squatting in the dampest grosses muddist grass and he decideds to really be my best friends and tries to jump on me planting his hooves on my shoulders!!! He is NOT a little pig. I go over backwards, in the mud, wet and of course... so gross, dog poop......OH MY GAWWWWWWD!!!!!! Now I am yelling at the deaf pig to get OFF of me.
So guess who was NOT invited into the house, and I tear off my dress and shorts underneath and my socks and hop in the shower again.....Needless to say, Feefee did not rescue me this time.
How...er...terrible...he he...that you got...chuckle chuckle....knocked over in the mud!! And how amazingly lucky you are to have a Attack Turkey!!! LMAO!!!
Love it!!
Thanks for sharing life in Eden, I love the visuals!!!
Oh, Debilyn, your story just warmed my heart, and I laughed and smiled for the first time it seems forever. I'm mired right in the mud of the end of my relationship with the A I love and trust me, nothing is funny. It took me away from the pain in my life for a moment, and it's been awhile since that has happened! Thank you so much...... where DO you live? lillyb
Debilyn is that Bob (oh deaf one) on the yahoo your group photo? He is so cute. Almost looks likes he is smiling to me. I bet he is so smart he can lip read and you don't even know it. lol Luv Leo xxx
My two dogs and two cats are sometimes the only thing that make me happy. I am so glad that your animals continue to fulfil you. Mine give me great solace love and companionship.
Debilyn I love your Eden stories! They always make me smile and chuckle!! I have two little dogs and I don't know how I'd get through this without them... always right on my heels, crowding my bed, waking me up at 1am to go outside. They're the best... they constantly let me know I'm needed and loved. Thank you! Artygirl.
