Josh is out of town. Here are the updates I have been giving him on facebook:
Animal update: Squash's scratching instincts just kicked in. She spent an hour trying to scratch the hay in the water dish. I thought she was trying to drown herself.
Wednesday at 12:36am
Animal update: It rained last night so I put the plastic sheet on the chicken coop. I must have accidentaly not noticed the door was open to the coop? 4 AM Dagny woke we up. We chased the fox off the property. He got them both. This morning, trail of feathers. River of tears.
Wednesday at 8:28am
Animal Update: Potato- new chick showed slight signs of lethargy this morning. Seems to be doing fine now. Wouldn't be surprised if we lost her though. Chicks are outside with heating lamp and happy. They have lots of room to run around. Just scrubbed Willow's cage down with vinegar/water, reaffixed her roof, and chang...ed bedding. She is the happiest rabbit. Brushed Baron. He was a grump. I need to handle him more. Dagny misses you terribly.
Thursday at 3:42pm
Animal update: Potato is still really weird but eating and drinking fine. Seems.... retarded. Today was hot. I turned off the heating lamp because they seemed hot but it's back on now because it's night. The bunnies seemed hot too. I wonder if we can figure out how to make them not so hot all summer. Maybe we can make ...big blocks of ice for them during the hottest part of the day. Even willow was hot inside the house. She slept soundly most of the day on her side. I thought she was dead but she wasn't. Dagny has a blister on her paw from running alongside my bike. That fucking dog is FAST. You'll have to bring your bike up asap. She is tired and slept all day. I am trying to bring her everywhere because no one is here to love her when I'm gone. So that's all of them!
Today at 10:47pm
Also here are some projects I want to do
1. Terrarium in a light-bulb
2. Potatoes in a bucket

Congraduation
Now what are you going to do with your life?
We graduated! We're adults! In other news, we got 3 more chicks! Their names are Mango, Squash, and Pineapple aka Glen Peck II. Sean Hennity is most assuredly a rooster though we are going to wait until he crows. We decided it will be his death crow. :( Many people are against his inevitable murder including Kelsey and my little sister Hannah who have both found Rooster sanctuaries. But hello, I want to eat some chicken. Have you ever seen an animal that just gives and gives its whole life? They keep your lawn nice, the bugs down, they warn you of danger, they give you delicious eggs and even when they die you can eat them. My vegetarianism goes far but this is where it stops. I want some lightly friend Sean Hennity on some spinach with honey mustard dressing :x
Does that make me a bad person? No, because I raised the god damn chicken and I may be the one to kill him. And you know what. That's the way it's been for a really long time, people raising their meat. And it doesn't mean I'm a bad person for eating my pet. It makes me a much better person than someone who eats chicken nuggets at McDonalds. Hrmph. (I want that chicken spinach salad)
Enough about my blood lust. Josh is gone to Hawaii and so all the animals are depending on me. The angoras have been matting a little because no one has been brushing them. Bear looks so bald I never feel the need to until I find a mat on his face or something. I took Willow to lay in bed with me for a little today, that poor floppy eared useless rabbit, and she snuggled for a little while then nipped me hard. I was like HEY and she nipped me again. So I put her in her cage and she went pee right away. That's a good rabbit!
That's all for now.
