turkeys … they be hatchin’
So. I’ve mentioned a time or two about the adventurous things that go down in our humble abode?
Our newest adventure?
Growing turkeys!
Last Fall, we had a family of turkeys running around our property. There were about 12 in all and they stayed around most of the winter. It was fun to watch them grow and by the end of winter they weren’t so shy anymore either.
But. Now they’re gone.
So what’d my adventurous guy do? He found a place that sells turkey eggs. Got a super high-tech incubator. And we watched them hatch. 10 out of 12 … not too bad!
We’re going to build a pen for them in the yard and when they’re big enough, we’ll let them go. They’re wild turkeys and are growing quickly … so they won’t be sitting on the girls heads for very much longer!
So … what sort of adventures are you up to?

our beloved ariel
Ariel was the first dog we got together … we did all kinds of research on the perfect dog. I was struggling to be a ‘dog person’ and thought we couldn’t go wrong with Ariel … and basically we didn’t.

and puppy makes four …
Isn’t he the cutest thing you’ve ever seen??? We are officially a family of 12 … 10 living in the house, 4 being canines.
We brought “Pebbles” home this morning. No idea what came over us to get another dog, but we did and I think we are going to love him to death!
He’s been great with the other dogs and very sweet with the girls. Taylor’s already ‘training’ him to sleep in a bed (for Piper) and the girls can’t keep their hands off him.
Wish us luck … see photos here …

poor spike
So … early November we had a follow-up appointment for Hunter’s last surgery. All was well with her adenoids, but while she was under they did a his-panel on her to check her immune level … some of her levels came back a little low, so they wanted us to see an immune deficiency specialist.
We had her appointment last week, and thank God all her levels were normal. A few on the low side of normal, but completely normal. The only one he was a little concerned about was her tetanus level, so he gave her that vaccine again.
At the appointment, her chest didn’t sound good (she’s basically been sick since a couple days after her surgery), so he did a chest xray to check for pneumonia … but all is well!
We do have a call in to see why she is so sick all of the time. Constant cough, sinus infection, etc. But praise God it’s nothing serious!
