My, what big eyes you have!

A dog, Dixie, at Huron Valley Humane Society.

If I was getting another cat, I would get this bugger. He was so sweet.. sharp claws though! Accidentally got my finger.

This cutie reminded me of Pepper but she wouldn't come to me. Too sleepy I guess!

Natasha look-a-like? c:

This HUGE guy looks kind of similar to the kitten we saw last time we visited the humane society!

This bugger was HUGE and GORGEOUS. Look at those eyes- they were like that even without the effect. He is absolutely stunning. Never bothered to get up and get attention though. Real chill.

Natasha has taken a liking to being a #shouldercat or #parrotcat... Pepper won't stay up there any longer :c

What are you doing, Kiba?

Looking outside, I know she recognizes that area, her and Natasha played there a lot.

Happy Easter from the buns!

Simon, a kitty that came around for only one day. I think he has a home. I haven't seen him since and he looked pretty well-fed. He was neutered too.

Told you this was 'tash's favorite spot to sleep.

Laying together, Pepper's head propped on Kiba's leg. How friggin cute.

Kiba and Pepper holding "hands." I did NOT make them do this. They chose to do so themselves!

And lastly.....!!!!

My dad's dumb employee bought six adorable, yellow chicks at Tractor Supply (Cornish Rocks). Of course, he decides he's going to give me four. After some debating and talking, we decide on two, and go back to TSC to get four Red Pullets (which lay more eggs).

But you can obviously tell I like the yellow ones the best. They're so sweet, they like to snuggle my hand and peck my phone and sleep in my hands. I have dubbed those as mine and the pullets belong to my mom haha.

(Also, I do know better to not kiss or nuzzle the chickens. They're cute, but they're dirty! Only hand-snuggles for them!)

Now my dad just needs to build a coop when they get bigger and we'll need to "train them" to make sure they stay within our yard. We have three acres so we have enough for chickens. My mom always wanted chickens.. pretty sure this is the only way we would have ever gotten any.

Anyway so yeah if and when they die (when they're older and stuff y'know), I will definitely be skinning/eating them or whatever. 8)

Great pictures Bailee! I loved them all. And those chicks are soooo cute! I've been wanting one for a while now. At least one, we have chicken houses.

thank you! that means a lot! so sorry for the late response, things have been hectic and i've been going through a lot. i'll explain in my next post! but i deffo recommend getting a chicken hehe, i love them so much! i would get a silkie if i was only getting one since they're so people-friendly. golden comets are really great too! (sooo sweet!) but if you get it from tractor supply, they make you get at least 6!​

 

[Yield]

the chicks are a LOT bigger now but i'm gunna post some old pics to catch you all up!

we ended up getting three more chicks soon after the first six we got! an australorp (laurel), easter egger (lotus), and barred rock (dahlia)! the white-faced one is the australorp, the striped one is the barred rock, and the brown one is the easter egger.

australorp~

barred rock~

ivy and iris, the cornish rocks.

everyone all together

then we got a rhode island red for my dad, formerly rose.. now roan because i suspect "she" might be a "he"

throwing some cute pepper in the mix!

dahlia!

laurel!

lotus! i was supposed to name her 'alicia ann" after my aunt, but it seemed weird to me.

this is probably sensitive to most people so i'll put it in a link. this (<--click!) is fenton, a roadkilled cottontail that we picked up. i skinned him and i will mount him up! it's not a bloody pic or anything, just me holding his skin, which looks like a pelt. he had pretty bad road rash on his back end so he'll probably be a shoulder mount and i'll keep the feet and tail in addition!

kiba sleeping belly-up!

when we first started suspecting roan might be a roo.

we were worried the chicks were sick for a while and that we'd have to cull them.

when olive, a golden comet, first started jumping up on to my arm to perch on her own!

sharing!

rooooooaan.

laurel loving the white on her face~

you can't tell really well in this picture, but ivy (the cornish rock) used to be freakin' HUGE (well she's even bigger now but y;know). pretty sure she is a roo too. iris (the one on the left of ivy) is much smaller still.. idkk if the pooping issue made her grow smaller, if it is just because she is a hen, or i dunno, she is just sooo small still, haha.

'outside' time!

here is a good ref. on the left is ivy, quite clearly a cornish rock. almost 2 weeks old. on the right is iris, also a cornish. same age. and above is an about 4week old australorp.

On April 16th, I lose one of my best friends, Shannon. We drifted apart for a while, but I never stopped loving her and considering a very close friend of mine. I miss her so much and I feel so guilty we hadn't hung out in so long. I am glad she was happy before she died though. I love you, Shannon, I will keep on smiling and remembering the great memories we shared because I know that is what you'd want! <3

(Me on the left, her on the right. I'm sure you can figure the rest out!)

My first concert ever was a Paramore concert and it was with Shannon.

I spent many Halloweens with her.

In this picture, I was 11 and Shannon was 12. She passed away at 20... way too soon. Her birthday was February 15th.

I wish I could go back and relive our memories.

Shannon drew me this a while back.

This is a bracelet Shannon had made me. She knew how much I love animals (hence the heart with paws on it) and she knew my favorite color is green and I love how it looks with black. I couldn't find it at first and ended up crying when I did find it.

In loving memory of Shannon Elizabeth Thompson. February 15, 1993 - April 16, 2013. I love you.

When I had a rat, Ariana, Shannon drew her as a human for me.

Shannon and I at Chuck E. Cheeses.

Field trip with Shannon in 6th grade.

Another field trip.

Shannon holding a "sign" for me back in our Myspace days. Thank you all for your support, I really appreciate it. Shannon was a very dear friend to me and I loved her so much. She was a sister to me. This has been really hard and I have a lot of healing to do. I know Shannon wouldn't want everyone to be sad for super long and that really keeps me going. But a fact about Shannon... she LOVED purple (if you can't tell from the picture).. it was her favorite color. I love you Shannon. Please keep watch over all of us.

My best friend Bree and me. I finally got to see her, the first time in like a couple months. I wish it hadn't had to have been for something so heartbreaking. Shannon was a best friend to both of us and if it wasn't for her, we actually would have never met probably.. at least not when we did.

Another Halloween with Shannon and her siblings and family.

Had my mom get cheerios because Shannon loved to eat them just dry. Then I realized chickens can have cheerios so I crushed some up and they LOVED it! They tried it without hesitation since it looks kinda like their food and went nuts, especially Teasel, the smallest Golden Comet. And don't worry, they only got a few pieces crushed. <3 Hopefully they'll eventually take to other treats... they're not very fond of much else.

Finn, a bunny from the Reno rescue (explained on rabbitsanctuary.org).. he lost his bun girlfriend, Ann Marie recently :c The two of them were one of the first buns I met at the sanctuary 2.5 years ago. He seems so sad :c Losing weight and he looks much more ungroomed than when I last saw him.

kiba climbed the big hill!

he's always so pooped after our walks.

Remember the black cat that was hanging around my house? Well he was chasing two poor baby buns around and knew where their nest was.. so I snatched em up and now we have them in the garage.. my mom says to put em back in the morning.. but the mom I think went back and found the nest empty.. and I dunno if Simon will be back.. poor things.

Look at that cute fricken face. Some people would say "you shouldn't interfere with nature"... but cats are pets here and they aren't supposed to be wildly hunting animals.. you can't stop them but therefore, I interfered. I bet Simon the cat killed the other babies too.

A lot of people like to insist I don't love animals because I eat meat and want to be a taxidermist. I don't think they understand that my first priority is usually saving the animal. I could have let the cat kill these two babies and took the bodies. I could have just left and let the well-fed cat (not a stray) eat the bunnies. No, I didn't, I went out of my way and spent quite a while saving these two baby rabbits. I let my dinner get cold. I stuck my hand in a rose bush and it got cut up. I even stepped into the rose bush and got a thorn stuck in my foot. I went out of my way to scare the cat away despite how cute I thought he was and how much I would have loved to continue seeing him. I have no doubt he will come back though- he knew where the nest was. So we will wait a week or two for them to get older probably and then let them go. This is the 3rd pair of rabbits I have rescued and 6th and 7th wild buns to be in our care. Only one bun ever passed away in our care *knocks on wood* but it was only because something was indeed wrong with him. (he was lacking a viscera and never grew and was lethargic). Wish these two well <3

Pepper LOVED her scratch-down! See that back foot sitting up? It was kicking like a dog!

first time the chickies went outside in the grass!

bunnies, i named them mabel and dipper (from gravity falls).

outside adventures! teasel.

my foot is a great roost. olive.
