Delilah is already doing so well. She responds to the "sit" command most of the time. She's learning to look at the cats 🐱🐱 without lunging.

Delilah is also learning her place with Duke. He likes to play but she may like to give him a few more kisses 😘 than he desires. Duke has no problem telling her to back off and she is responding well.

One thing for sure, you need to keep your eyes on a pup in training 100% of the time.
Something will just catch her eye, nose or ears and she will just take off pulling us along. 😂😂😭😭

Tonight we will meet with local trainers for an orientation session. Wish us luck!

Spring is definitely here. 🌿
I noticed that the chives, catnip and lemon balm are starting to sprout.

Salem 🐱also came out of hiding for a bit. He's curious but cautious around Delilah. This is interesting to me because he has such a good relationship with Duke. He often rubs against Duke and will lay right next to him on the floor. It may be Delilah's quick movements that have him unsettled. I'm sure in time he'll be more comfortable with her presence.

Duke seems to really like his new playmate. Since bringing Delilah home, they have only interacted whilst Delilah was leashed.
We are choosing to keep her leashed in the house until she settles in and learns some boundaries. So far she is doing well. She potties outside, spends time in her crate and even knows the command to sit!
The cats are definitely up in arms with the new addition and are choosing to spend a lot of time under the deck. I'm sure they will get used to Delilah just as they are comfortable with Duke.

🧡 Advice from An Old Farmer ⬇️
Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong.

Keep skunks and bankers at a distance.

Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.

A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor.

Words that soak into your ears are whispered… not yelled.

Meanness don’t jes’ happen overnight.

Forgive your enemies; it messes up their heads.

Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you.

It don’t take a very big person to carry a grudge.

You cannot unsay a cruel word.

Every path has a few puddles.

When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.

The best sermons are lived, not preached.

Most of the stuff people worry about ain’t never gonna happen anyway.

Don’t judge folks by their relatives.

Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

Live a good, honorable life… Then when you get older and think back, you’ll enjoy it a second time.

Don ‘t interfere with somethin’ that ain’t bothering you none.

Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a Rain dance.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin’.

Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.

The biggest troublemaker you’ll probably ever have to deal with, watches you from the mirror every mornin’.

Always drink upstream from the herd.

Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.

Lettin’ the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin’ it back in.

If you get to thinkin’ you’re a person of some influence, try orderin’ somebody else’s dog around..

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.

Most times, it just gets down to common sense.

✨ Remember! ✨
🥚 If you get farm fresh eggs from your hens or unwashed eggs from your favorite chicken lady ☺️, it is ok to wash them with cool/lukewarm water with a mild soap. 🧼
🩵 Just make sure you refrigerate them once doing so because the protective bloom the hen placed on the egg at the time of laying has been removed.
That’s why immediate laid eggs from the hen are wet.
✔️ That’s the bloom! 😊
🐔 A hen does that naturally to keep bacteria from getting into her egg.

This seems to be the newest type of scammy scam on Facebook.

With the increase in egg prices, I've noticed many people thinking of raising backyard chickens.
I think this is a wonderful idea but I would like to suggest that you gather all the knowledge you can before beginning this endeavor.
I'm currently in the process of researching whether I can sell chicks incubated from our flock.
In addition, I'm working on developing a beginner backyard chicken course to support the community in their endeavors.
Stay tuned!
Featured is our beautiful hen Creamsicle ❤️
