More Holidaying

Fence update.



It's pretty much done now though. Just a few finishing touches. So. Nice. I can't wait to go outside and not have to chase A back into the yard...

We went to visit our friends today. They live on a farm about an hour and a half away. I called the trip an early birthday present to A. She loves animals. Loves making animal noises. We had a nice time. She and my friend's son seemed to have a great time together. They would be great partners in crime. Both equally unafraid to try anything.

And I was yet again impressed (although I would have been happy to have intervened if possible before each thing happened) by Miss A's toughness. She got a little too close to the chickens and was pecked on the hand. She cried but stopped almost immediately when I picked her up and was still fascinated by them. She also went in with the other game chickens (much tamer and nicer) after she was pecked only being careful to hold her hands close to her body.



Sadly the other 'accident' was when she wandered off when we were getting stuff out of the garden and touched the electric fence. Yeah. I know. I suck. In my defense I didn't even notice the fence until it was too late. Again though, she cried until I picked her up and soon after stopped. I swear that the only reason she even cries is because she's so angry that something caught her off guard that way, not because it hurt very much. The look in her eyes after both incidents was pure outrage not pain.

Despite those events she had a great time, as did we. Miss A loved their doggie to death. I think he enjoyed her as well. And I'm pretty sure she made a little friend today...
