4:30 pm - 43 degrees outside - blue sky, windy...
Back in mid-November we adopted
this cute little guy.

Everyone automatically thinks Ranger
is a little black lab puppy and I have gotten tired of saying “Nope, he’s a McNab,
Border Collie, Catahoula, and Kelpie hybrid. No, he’s not a mutt he was purposely
bred that way.” So I have started saying “Nope, he’s a McBorder Catahoupie.”
Most people haven’t heard of most of those breeds anyway, so... oh well, it’s
easier to say.

Fast forward to mid-February
and we picked up 6 cute little chicks. We specifically picked out chicks that
will grow up to look different from each other; it will make it easier to tell
who is who.
From top to bottom:
Milo – Mottled Java
Opal – Olive Egger
Bella – Black Sex Link
Bessie – Blue Wyandotte
Rosie – Rhode Island Red
Scarlet – Sicilian Buttercup
Ranger isn’t sure what to think
of these tiny, noisy creatures.
The chicks are currently in the
house. We have to wait until the snow melts so we can finish the chicken coop.
But in the meantime, our cats are enjoying the coop. I wonder what they will
think when it’s done and full of noisy chickens.
Coming soon... we have to wait
until the passes are clear so we can take a road trip (about 3 and a half hours
each way) so we can go pick up Reuben & Trixie, our breeding pair of American
Chinchilla Rabbits! So excited!!!
Oh, and we still have to build
a rabbit hutch for them too. Just waiting for the snow to melt!
So now we have 3 cats, 1 dog, and 6 chicks plus 2 rabbits on their way. Our little mountain homestead is slowly growing.
