I'm trying to talk myself out of getting another chick or two this year. I'm moving - it makes no sense . . .but I miss my chicken!

I have finally figured out this "post a picture" stuff.

Here are my babies--Bronco & Thunder.

They think they are so smart....hiding behind the shower curtain!

My all time favorite! Bronco loves to eat TP!

I've had them for nine months and I just found out that they are girls.

The breeder (who is a vet! & long time chinchilla hobbyist) told me that they were boys.....I asked for boys.

Oh well, I love them now and wouldn't trade their estrogen for the world.

So cute!

How do you tell them apart?

I cheated. I used a red sharpie and put two big red marks in Thunder's right ear lobe...hehehe.

IT'S THE ONLY WAY! THEY LOOK TOO MUCH ALIKE!

haha that's OK... I would have done the same thing. I think they look so similar too which is why I asked how you could tell it was one eating TP and not the other

Your chicken sure is a cutie

I vote you get another one!

Sorry about your dad's kitty, elf.

And I'm thinking of getting four chicks - Helen, Frances, E.Adeline and Mary.

OMG I love the chicken!

And I usually hate rodents, but that little mouse is adorable!

Guilty. I swore I never would, and then our first pup, Holly, ended up sleeping with us every night. And when we got our second pup, Kimchi, we swore SHE would be crated, and somehow she is in our bed now too. But, we're about to make the official transition to crazy dog people because my fiance has ordered stairs for them to get up to the bed, since Holly has bad knees and its hard for her to jump up and down.

Maybe our next dogs we'll have the bed to ourselves...

SWTXBelle · #12 01-04-2008, 10:43 PM

NO. It's bad enough I have to put up with the 4 year old crawling into bed all the time. I draw the line at my dog and the chickens.

My doggie sleeps with me.

When I first got her I told myself she would stay in her crate and off my bed... but a few months ago, I had just got back from a week-long business trip, and while she was happy to see me, she was acting depressed all day. I felt so bad and thought it might make her feel better if she was close to me at night... for just a few nights right?

Uh huh... she's been sleeping in my bed ever since...

I had never had a cat before and when I brought Brando home from the shelter, I had read all the stuff about "your new cat may want to be by himself for a week or so." So when I went to bed (he's been w/ me for only about 4 hours at this point) I put him in my back room and closed the door & went to bed. It took about 5 minutes to hear a very insistent MEOW MEOW MEOW coming from the room. I let him out, he came into my bedroom, and jumped up onto my bed. He's slept there every night since.

The only problem is when he decides he wants to sleep ON my chest - he is 20 lbs, but it's amazing what you can get used to. This is the only time when he cuddles - in bed (lol, just like a guy).

My boys (cats) have to sleep with us, or at least have the door open if they decide to sleep with us. One of them is an angel...he gets right into against my belly, and the other one will usually mill around and scratch the underside of the mattress because he wants us up.

On a good night, both boys are sound asleep, one with each me and my husband. There is nothing sweeter than waking up and seeing two kitties stretched across the bed. Especially when I don't feel well!
