Happy Friday

TGIF, hope you're able to get outside, enjoy the sunshine and maybe even get by the pool....or your water bucket.

When Animals Attack in Vermont

I just saw a report that caught my interest to read and with a caption like "Squirrel attacking residents of VT. neighborhood" who could pass this up.

It's reported by the Bennington Banner:

"Bennington, Vt. - A Vermont neighborhood is being stalked by a renegade gray squirrel.

Several people in Bennington say they've been attacked by a squirrel over the last few weeks.

Kevin McDonald tells the Bennington Banner he was shoveling snow when the squirrel jumped onto him. He says he threw the animal off, but it twice jumped back onto him. A game warden says there have been other reports, too.

One woman is being treated for exposure to rabies, but Vermont Public Health Veterinarian Robert Johnson says there's never been a case of a squirrel passing rabies to a human.

Johnson says it's possible the squirrel was raised as a pet and lost its fear of humans. He says the squirrel might go ballistic when it encounters people it doesn't recognize."



You know it's bad when the squirrels are attacking people!!!!!!!!!!

Sad Moment on the Farm

I woke up this morning and wasn't greeted at the front door by Chick-Chick my Front Porch Chicken, I knew something was wrong. My dear little chicken was gone, the only trace of her was feathers all over my porch. Chick-Chick will always be remembered at the farm as the chicken, near death, nursed back to health, funny, friendly and my little shadow. She will be missed.

I don't ever wish harm upon an animal; but to the creature that took Chick-Chick, I hope you choked!!!!!!!!!

There Are No Dumb Questions

Is there a such thing as no dumb questions? I've taken this phrase so many ways but never the way I took it over the weekend when I was asked a question. First I must say, I understand what one person is knowledgeable about, doesn't mean another person is.



"Do hens nurse their chicks?"



Yes, this was the question that was asked. I repeat - "Do hens nurse their chicks?"



I quickly realized the person that asked me this was serious, which then I had to quickly wipe the "WTH" look off my face and answer (seriously).

"No"

I sat waiting for the next question, when the person simply said "oh" and didn't ask for an explanation.
