Chicken Wash


The Erie Country Fair had a seminar on washing your chicken. Seriously.

I think you dipped your chicken in detergent, vinegar, fabric softener, then water. Towel drying was optional. Some of them prefer blow drying.

There's a whole other world going on out there that I know nothing about...

Signs


Huh huh... Log donations.

Meat Bird


The sign pretty much says it all.

Me and my llama...


No word on if he had been to the dentist that day.

Can I take the table costume off now?

Lowe's employees: if you can find one, they're somewhat helpful.

Daisy Report


It's been over three weeks since we put Daisy Dog on her kangaroo and oatmeal diet. As you can see on her bandanna, she still can't have any treats.

Her tummy is doing better. No signs of the rash so far. We'll see how the next three weeks go.

Her vet has me keeping track of her symptoms and food intake on a worksheet. One of the columns is called "Feces". I have to rate her poops on a scale of 1 to 5 (5 being "firm feces with a cylindrical shape").

The jokes never end.

Morning Walk


If I catch one of those geese, can I eat it?

Nope, sorry. Goose isn't on your diet.

Viva la Revolucion!

How's the tobacco crop this year, Fidel?

Good. Very good. As high as my hand. Our people should be proud.

Try the Dark Meat... It's Extra Moist...

After visiting the doggy dermatologist this week, Daisy has to go on a kangaroo and oatmeal diet.

I wish I was making this up.

We're trying to combat her recurring itchy belly rash, hence the diet changes. We're treating it like an allergy for now. This is how dogs have allergic reactions.

There are no other animals in the house. We have hardwood floors. We change her bedding on a regular basis. We keep everything pretty clean. So diet is the next thing to try changing.

She's had 3 or 4 courses of antibiotics to clear her rash up in the last year and it keeps coming back six weeks later.

Also - no people food for Daisy Dog. No treats. Nothing.

She's really going to miss peanut butter and rawhide.
