i don't get why, but so far in the past 7 - 8 days, 4 of my chickens were attacked by a hawk, only one of them lived, and just an hour ago one of my dogs, sadey, had to be put to sleep. i've known her for 12 years, and just the other day she had watered eyes or such, she probably had a stroke or something. it's harder to remember not knowing her, honestly. and of course this happens right after 3 of the chicks from the first clutch i've hatched get attacked, two of them die and just one lived. and then the next time he attacks, it's the mother of two babies that she managed to lay the eggs of under my shed, the babies hadn't even left her side.
i'm sorry if anyone still wanted a christmas avatar, but i don't think i'll be able to get to that anytime soon. i'll try and make sure the presents are given out.
