Bluetick Coonhound has a new home!

We were calling her Shirley, she is adorable and extremely smart. But the cats just could not deal with her and we are getting used to not having dogs. Wish we didn't have to give her away but it was best for here. A big dog like her needs exercise and we both seem to have very little free time.

I called one of my neighbors that has all kind of animals and he had a friend that has a male Bluetick Coonhound and had told her he wished the male had a companion. So today at noon he delivered her to him. I can see them playing in my mind right now. She only spent a week with us but we miss her a lot already.

Shirley with one of her new friends a 170 pound mastiff, makes her look small doesn't he.
Behave Shirley, have fun with your new buddies!

 Shirley the day she adopted us and found out how comfortable a couch can be on a chilly day.

 Manny was getting used to being chased and cornered by Shirley. Valentine was not at all happy to be chased.

Speaking of adoption Meg's daughter had 5 chickens in the city of Wilmington. Turns out the city is making her get rid of them. Guess that is what you get when you put a country girl in the city. These chickens are just about egg laying age, too bad 3 of them are roosters. So this weekend I cleared out a place in the back yard and built a chicken yard. Now we have to figure out how to bring the chickens here and their small chicken coop.
 Here are the chickens as of 6 weeks ago.

Wow, you have been busy. Beautiful dog. Lovely chickens.
Our dog is around 13 years old, not sure what we'll do when she's gone. But the cats luckily know to stand their ground when she's in the yard.

I'm so happy Shirley has a new home.

Those chickens look great, pretty soon you'll have lots of fresh eggs.

Shirley has a beautiful face, I'm sorry you had to give her up, but it sounds like you've find her a good, fun new place to live.

From bees to chickens it seems! It is unfortunate that the majority are roosters though. Not so helpful on the egg laying front...unless of course you want more chicks! ;)

So glad Shirley has a new home, she is a cutie.
We had thought about chickens, HOA rules say no. Enjoy your new chicks!
