Girls and Boys
My pullets are getting big and sleek:
We had to put chicken wire around the garden because they were eating my cherry tomato plant, and my parsley. It was odd: the other two tomato plants they didn’t touch at all. They’re very specific in their tastes, I guess.
The exciting news around here is that we will soon be adding another girl to the family. We’ve been on the waiting list for almost two years for an American Mastiff puppy, and that wait will shortly be coming to an end. We get to bring home our new puppy next Monday. She’ll be seven weeks old, and Robin has decided, sight unseen, that her name is Mona. I was lobbying for Lucy or Alma, but I have to admit that Mona is a pretty good mastiff name. But I insist on seeing her before I decide for sure! We are all a-twitter, getting the house ready for our newest “baby.”
Bonus picture, for gender balance: a little boy.

Aww. What an adorable little boy! The chickens are lovely too, of course. And Mona *is* a great name. I look forward to puppy photos!

Oh, that is so exciting! Kiddos and chickens and puppies, oh my. Yes–looking forward to puppy photos to come. Your boys will be over the moon!
