Nope. Not sharing.

Flapper was not too keen on sharing his pool with George the rescue goose this weekend.

He will share it sometimes with Chewy, but just a little bit.

Eventually he wants the pool to himself, so he kicks Chewy out.

Then he’s free to watch the birds fly by.

And splash up a storm, all by himself.

George eventually got pool time, but he had to wait until Flapper was done.

In other news, O’Malley is a snuggle-saurus again. He has been mad at me for weeks, and running away from me when I tried to pick him up. He was mad over a combination of molting, George being here, and having to take a round of antibiotics to clear up a cold. But he finally decided that I’m okay again, and now comes to me when I call and sits on my lap. I must say, I didn’t miss the ankle-biting, but I did miss my quality time with my snuggle-saurus. I’m glad he’s friendly again and back to trusting me.

It was a good, chilly weekend in Seattle. And we had plenty of yard time with treats for the chickens and everyone else.

We hope everyone is having a great holiday season.

From all of us (plus George) to all of you and yours…

Happy Holidays.
