Finn & Baby Napping 10-25-10

Can you believe Finnie? He thinks he's still a little kitten who can fit on a chair with fat Baby.

Here Finn is on his back, half hanging off the chair, with his head and shoulders on Baby.

It's good Baby is such a sweet, patient cat.

Chicken Little - Fall Haircut 10-18-10

Chicken Little has so many head feathers. She can't see, so it's time for a haircut. Four pics of her. Then a pic after a little trim. We'll see if it's enough or if she needs more trimmed.

Sewing Helpers 10-12-10

Had lots of help sewing - Finn, Zippy and Doodah.

Lights in Coop 10-10-10

We put a light on a timer in the coop today. Chickens need about 14 hours of light to continue to produce eggs. So, in an effort to have more eggs this winter than last, we put a light on a timer so they will have that 14 hours.

Chickens automatically go into their coop at dusk. They get themselves settled before dark. Once it is dark, they can't see. They are blind without light. So, they don't move all night. As the sun rises, they go outside for the day.

The girls are a bit confused with this light. They are used to sleeping once in the coop. Phyllis is the white one standing in there. She seems to be the bird that is the lookout for them all.

Took a pic a little further away so their ramp door is visible.

Cats at Computer 10-10-10

Working at the desk early one morning. Finn and Snickers are usually on the desk. I turned my chair around to see Doodah, Baby and Rocky looking at me. Zippy was around, wanting me to play with her.

Notice the pic on the monitor.

Lacey Eating Watermelon pic 10-9-10

Our dinner guest.

We were eating on the patio. Had some watermelon ready to give the hens when we put them back in the pen. Lacey saw in on the table, jumped up, and started to eat.

Lacey Hunting Stinkbugs 10-9-10

Lacey love to eat stinkbugs. She hunts them on the patio. We'll knock them off the porch wall and she gets them.

New Spot 10-7-10

Cleaning out a closet. Put that extra comforter on the guest bed temporarily. Rocky got right in it. If he's not in it, Baby or Snickers is. So, I've left it there for them till I need that bed for guests.

Finn Sleeping in Cube 10-7-10

Finn took a nap in the cube. Really, every cat owner should have these cubes. They are the best cat toy.

Zippy in Cube 10-7-10

Zippy was playing in the cubes. She'd stick her head in and out of the top hole. Parke said it looked like that Whack a Mole game at Hershey Park.

Finn at Computer 9-17-10

Finn loves to plop himself down on my work. (This is without the flash so he doesn't have red eyes.)

Parke Putting Hens in Pen 9-8

One year old Finn 9-8

Finn was one year old on Sept 10. We were on vacation in New Mexico, so here is his birthday pic, two days early.

Sewing Room Friends 9-5-10

Maggie is the orange neighbor's cat that I feed all the time. She came in today for the first time. Doodah is in the background, checking things out.

And Finn is my constant companion.

Finn on Desk 8-20-10

Walked by the den and Finn was looking out the window. Then he looked in my direction. Beautiful blue eyes.

Baby & Finn 8-16-10

Finn still likes to nap with Baby. They don't fit on that chair anymore. Finn is getting so big.
