One of the people who work at the Ranch.
It is getting summery around here with a high nearing 90 degrees and a UV index of 7 (out of 11). The air conditioned part of the big dog house at the Ranch is still getting its flooring redone so the dogs are outside. Not good but nothing to be done about it. It is hard on the staff since they have to move the dogs around to the shade side and back. But they will figure it out.
I bought a chicken egg incubator since I have access to fertilized eggs but packed it back up and got it ready to return after realizing I don't really have a plan for the roosters that will no doubt hatch. I'm going to discuss it with my chicken friend this weekend. It would have been fun to hatch eggs and we still might do it but I'm not really up to killing and cleaning the young roosters which is pretty much the only choice if you don't want them.
Meanwhile I figured out a decent way to 'help' my friends who have too many eggs. The woman at the Ranch I work with most lives in a women's shelter community. They have people without a lot of money. I know someone who has too many eggs. So I thought we could figure something out. I'm going to see if it works. On Tuesday's I pick up eggs on my way back from the Ranch. On Thursdays I hand them over to the shelter contact. And one of those two days I get cartons back.
It would be so cool if it worked to everyone's benefit. I don't know much of anything about the shelter but I do know about people who are working to dig out of a hole and their kids might like some omelets.
Meanwhile, Walter has comments about how long it takes to get a treat:
So, you have a treat, huh?
Any chance that treat is for me?
Ok, enough with the pictures, just give me the damn treat!!
Walter really should be in someone's home. He is so expressive and fun to talk to. He is happy at the Ranch but I would love to have him on our couch.
