So it has been a little while since I last posted. We have been really busy trying to have as much summer fun as possible. I had to take Bailee to the vet yesterday which is never a fun thing. Bailee is a submissive peer when it comes to the vet. I don't know if he makes her nervous or what but I told the vet tech to get the paper towel ready lol. She is absolutely fine and and excited in the waiting room and even when we are in the actual room just with the vet tech. However, when he comes in it's just a 180. For the first time though he actually sat on the floor and let her come to him. He usually just forces her to come near him and that just makes her pee more. So I was genuinely surprised when he gave her a chance to warm up to him. She still peed but not as much. So what Chris and I thought were bug bites were actually just allergies. Thank goodness, its something simple that she can get on meds for and relieve the itching and redness.
On Friday I am picking up 5 Muscovy ducks at 1:00. I'm so excited to have them even though they are actually quite ugly and gross looking lol. I am about ready to just let the little ones go in the big pen. The ducks make a mess of everything. They want to play in the water so they get the water dirty then they are all wet and make all the paper wet so literally I'll put new paper down and 10 minutes later its gross again. Crazy ducks are making me crazy. They are still too little to be put outside though. They could probably fit through the fencing right now so I'd have to put up chicken wire all the way around the outside and inside, plus I think Capone could easily hurt them if he is not watching where he is going, and last the other hens would try to establish the pecking order and the little ones would not be able to take that kind of abuse quite yet.
We spent the 4th relaxing. I took Lexie and Levi to the groomer, my cousin dropped of the chickens, then we went to his parents house for dinner and fireworks. We could see quite a few different towns' fireworks. I took Friday off and we went to dinner and the drive in movie. Then on Saturday we went up to our friends cabin and spent the day on the lake. We went tubing, and swam a little then we went fishing later that night. I got a little red but for the most part it has just turned into a nice tan.
We are going to try and go camping Saturday. Chris bought a truck tent that just fits on the bed of his truck. If the weather cooperates and the tent gets here we will take Bailee and go for the night.

| My new girls. My cousin had some things change in her life and needed to find home for these four lovely ladies. They want to get out and free range so bad so I think we are going to try that this Sunday for a little while. Supervised free range with all 6 girls should be fun. They will enjoy some time away from Capone. |
