Pics of COCKS!
Sep. 24th, 2009 12:08 pmOkay, they're olde tyme cocks, like ... poultry, but still!
Last weekend we went to the annual Cluck and Quack Club sale, and I found some CUTE STUFF!

This is not a chicken. This is 'Big', our barn cat. She showed up in our shed a few years ago, in the dead of winter with six little kittens. She was very growly and protective, and we had a heck of a time catching those kitties! Once it got to below minus 30C she decided that yeah, okay, you can catch me naow. She's been sweet and lovely ever since. And yes, she's fixed now, so no more bbs.

This is 'Willow', one of our house cats. The people who owned her moved out of their apt, and left her there. The landlord called our store to see if we could take her. We don't 'do' adult cats, because we just don't have the room, but hubby fell in love with her, so now she lives with us! She has the GRUMPIEST face, but is the sweetest, most laid back cat evah.

Finally, a cock, as promised! This little guy (and girl) are OMG so fuckin' small! They are barely six inches tall. When he crows, it sounds like he's a very heavy smoker. He is also FULL of attitude, so we named him Goliath.

Jimmy MacElroy havin' a sunbath.

Our bunnies 'Bun bun' and 'Sprinkles'. Believe it or not, they aren't related. Bun bun was dropped off by someone who didn't want her anymore and Sprinkles has some sort of weird eye-cateract-thing and was about to become snake food. (hee! I typed SNAPE by mistake!!)

I call this pair the ALFs, for obvious reasons. They're Silkie chickens, for those of you keeping score at home, but i'm quite sure they're part muppet.

Mom and babies! NOM NOM NOM. They make the cutest cheeping sounds!!

Not a cock, but a DRAKE! Okay, now I want to name them Drake and Josh! Hee! These guys are SO DAMN CUTE! And i didn't get a great pic of it, but they are the most amazing irridescent green!

A shot of the 'Barn Gang' chowing down. (looks like Poppins is about to chow down on Snippet's face.)

Hmm....I had a couple more pics to post, but eljay is being a biatch. Anyhoo, this is probably more cocks than I should put in one post anyway.
Cheers! <3

Date: 2009-09-26 09:48 am (UTC)I know have a skunk that's stalking me. When sit out on my steps at night, it comes to sniff my shoes. The last time, I sat on the deck, thinking he'd stay away, but he came UP THE STEPS!. Then I got the bright idea that next time I'd get a picture...at night...with a flash. Yeah, I'm not the swiftest taco in the combo; fortunately I figured CAMERA FLASH = TOMAT0 JUICE BATH FOR JOAN.
So, are you still crying over your babies being gone all day? Haaaaa, thought not!

So far this month, they've had 11 days of school. They didn't start until the 9th, there was a 'professional development' day last week, and yesterday was off due to a new program called 'strong beginnings' where they see each child for one hour to assess where they are developmentally. They also have Monday off, for the same thing. That equals 13 school days TOTAL this month.
What the fucking fuck? I'm crying all right, but it's not because I miss them! grrrr
