In return, they rewarded me with more eggs than I could cope with !<br />Kitty Greenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844056332086042474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541568171657986.post-85494843618107469202015-01-06T04:14:06.496-08:002015-01-06T04:14:06.496-08:00This string is strong.

With so many chickens, you probably have to use barrels.

The Vet thinks that may have had something to do with his strange personality. I would love a "kitty cat" greeter as much as a "doggy" greeter. :)Henny Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05958386938311591314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541568171657986.post-1440345072157169832015-01-05T10:23:22.203-08:002015-01-05T10:23:22.203-08:00We try to be very careful with that string.

And she is my greeter. She sits in the front window and watches the car come in the drive, then swivels around to face the door when I come in. Nothing like the exuberance of a dog, but I do love a welcome! Hopefully those full feed buckets will last you awhile.<br />Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16035113274497372396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541568171657986.post-57974653544901618762015-01-05T03:54:47.411-08:002015-01-05T03:54:47.411-08:00It is a good feeling to get those feed bucket fill...It is a good feeling to get those feed bucket filled again.

Hope you can get down our way soon. I will tell Lynn. Oh, that day with the pig was something! He hasn't been visiting lately. I'm wondering it his owner put him in a pen.

Your Lily looks more like a Lily than a Sara. After a little conversation with Jo from "A Brit in Tennessee", I am thinking Smokey will now be called "Kitten". I've wanted to call him "Kitten", after Jo's "Tom Kitten", since he wandered up. :).

She had been called that for seven years so I kept it for awhile but it just didn't sound right to me. Plus, we had Sierra so it could get a little confusing. I changed her name by calling her Sara-Lily for awhile and then dropped the Sara. She always came running when I called her. :) Annie says to Bickett..."jelly bellies rock.".
