    How Stupid (Funny) is Your Dog (Pet)?

    I had a Newfie growing up - he was the best! Such a sweet boy, I was maybe a head or two taller than him, but I could walk him down the street because he was so gentle. We certainly would turn a few heads. They really are huge!

    Well, so far lockdown is going well I think. I did end up driving back to the school today because the humidity dropped from 68% down to 57% overnight. It's not terrible, but it was averaging a percent decrease about every 2-3 hours, and I knew it would be too low come Monday so I went ahead and...

    How Stupid (Funny) is Your Dog (Pet)?

    One of our dogs, Scout (aka Scooty Toot) is a baffling mix of Rottweiler, Pit Bull, Australian shepherd, Husky and Malamute (her only trait from these breeds is her chattiness. She has something to say about EVERYTHING). Her list of crimes include: counter surfing, and eating the muffin tops...

    I candled the eggs one last time, everyone still looks fantastic, healthy veins, obvious growth and movement, and air cells are looking good, if not a little bit on the large side. That makes me feel better about increasing the humidity this afternoon as we head into a slightly early lockdown...

    That is super interesting! We will have to see, maybe they won't be so early then. I'll be glad if they all hatched!! This is only my second hatch, so I'm just grateful to see them all make it to lockdown!

    Sad times

    Wow, sounds like you gave her an amazing life! She sure was a pretty hen. I have been begging my husband for a pair of runner duck hens. I am sorry for your loss! It is so hard to lose a member of the flock. Especially one you've had for so long. Hugs to you, and congrats on keeping her happy...

    Alrighty, it's go time! I will update this afternoon, when I do one last candle to make sure there are no last minute quitters before I set them into lockdown! They are going into lockdown just a smidge early, but I actually think that's not so bad. My temperatures have been holding fairly...

    Amazing news. All eggs are growing beautifully. Plus, I remembered to photograph!! I am over the moon, they were amazed, I was amazed, I am praying all the eggs hatch next week! Here are your sweet chickadees! I found that the brown eggs were easiest to see into, but hardest to capture on...

    I have to just share that I love when you post this gif, because every time we have candled Cashew's egg, that is exactly what she looks like in there, lol! Same movement, same shape. 🤣

    No you are not!!! There are quite a few eggs left feel free to choose any of the eggs without a name next to them! At the last candling, they were all developing great and I had no clears so any of the open ones are still in the running! :celebrate A: @Iluveggers name: Pikachu B: @GodLovesU...

    Lol!! I put a camera on them at lockdown so I can see what's happening at home. I try to set the eggs on a Tuesday or Wednesday so that if they hatch a day early, we're there and if they hatch late we are also there. But usually, they like to hatch at 2am when no one is there. :th
