Miss Betty is a camera hog, er, I mean chicken. ๐ She gives us a closeup at least once a day. ๐ฅ๐โค๏ธ
Betty gets super excited when she sees someone coming. Treats make her do a happy dance! She alerts Maude, then Gus & Shawn join in the Happy Treat Dance. ๐๐ผ๐โค๏ธ
When the rooster and the pod boss decide they donโt want to be spied on with the new Christmas gift, they try to take it out by force. ๐๐โค๏ธ
(It wasnโt mounted or even where itโs supposed to go in the run; we were just checking the video quality and signal strength.)
Oh, Rex, you are an inside kitty and not an outside kitty. He would much prefer to be outside but we would much prefer him to be safe. Those are his very vocal objections to having to come back in. ๐๐พโค๏ธ
Buddy the Elf isnโt the only one who doesnโt like a jack in the box ๐๐พโค๏ธ
Meet Grabber!
I donโt think weโve introduced Grabber before. Heโs a hermit crab who has lived here for at least three years. When we say we care for any pet, we mean it! ๐ฆ โค๏ธ
Our backyard kind of look like an explosion in a build-a-bear ๐ฅ ๐ (pics in the comments)
Sherry is short. Sherry has short arms. Sherry tries to be clever when needing things that are out of reach.
Heihei is short. Heihei has spurs. Heihei tries to kill anyone who approaches. Heihei is a good protector of his flock, including the eggs of Betty the Barred Rock (seen behind him).
Comedy always ensues. ๐

Found this on the โclockโ app and thought it was just the sweetest thing that I had to share ๐พโค๏ธ
How cute (and smart!) is Bella?!? We donโt know her but she seems like a pretty awesome doggo. Our dogs would be digging food out of the trash rather than putting food into it. ๐๐๐พโค๏ธ

Someone isnโt doing their job. A dozen cats around the neighborhood and this guy escapes them all. ๐This is pretty high up on a tree in the front yard. Time to figure out a different plan!
This dude! The outside cats are NOT doing their jobs! This dude has shown up three times at the bird feeder high in a tree in the front yard. ๐ฃ
We still have lots of birds showing up!

WalleyBear
Walter has finally decided that he loves tennis balls! It only took him a couple of years to figure that out. His toy of choice previously was a volleyball of all things! You can peep said destroyed volleyball in the background. Princess kept looking at him like he was a little crazy. ๐๐พโค๏ธ
๐ This would be something Walter would do. He loves tennis balls. ๐พโค๏ธ
Found in a field as tiny babies by one of Darcyโs friends, Rumple and Chloe found their furever home with us. Now they are double digits! Happy birthday, girls!
When you canโt find your favorite human (David) because he had to leave to meet a new pet sitting client with Darcy, you yell at Sherry until she shows you every room in the house to make sure heโs not hiding. ๐
Our security cameras are sometimes entertainment cameras ๐ Rubix is so weird sometimes ๐
If this doesnโt put a smile on your face, nothing will. Weโve watched it multiple times now. We also think maybe we need to get a few Silkies (our favorite breed) and some chicken overalls so we can have our own Cotton-Eyed Joe party. ๐๐โค๏ธ

Bandit has the right idea!
Breaking down boxes to take to the recycle center and Rex decided to pitch in and โhelp.โ All hail King Rex! ๐พโค๏ธ
๐ Sound On ๐
Every night when David comes home, itโs the same cacophony as five out of six dogs howl him into the house. Last night Princess was the spotlight showcase performer, but you can hear Rubix, Maynard, Walter, and Winnie in the other room.
They donโt howl for Sherry.
They donโt howl for Darcy.
They only howl for David.
