Little update!

Stitch. One cool Chicken!

First off, the post before this, about the front yard garden... They won an extension until September so the board investigating the matter can look "closer into the details" and also makes it so they can harvest the majority of the garden goods so it wont go to waste! Small victory, but they are still working and will continue working through to September to make things right so others won't get the same persecution over growing harmless and beneficial plants on their own property! The petition is going to go through September, so please still sign to show support if you can. And thank you to all the friends that did take the time out of their day to sign it! The petition now has over 10,500 signatures, and keeps climbing!!! If that isn't a statement, I'm not sure what is!

I do need to report some sad news. My buddy Stitch the Chicken never quite recovered and finally succumbed to her injuries. Her left eye continued to swell and eventually stayed mostly shut, even with continual cleaning it out. She never put her weight back on and unfortunately kept getting weaker and weaker. I tried everything I could to keep her alive, but alas it just wasn't meant to be.

Hanging with Dave

The final night she was alive, she was overly nice and wanted to be held, she continually crawled up my shirt and tried to nuzzle my neck. It was pathetically sad and cute, and I stayed with her for a good few hours having a feeling she probably wouldn't make it for much longer. Even Cheyenne was overly nice to her and kept coming up to her face to face and would just stare for a while. It looked cute and of course every time I tried to get a picture of it, one of them would look away, so I never got the chance to capture that cute moment on film.

You can see the swelling on the left side pretty good here.

But yeah, here is to you Stitch, the second coolest chicken to ever live, next to Spot! :) I gotta stop getting so attached to chickens! lol, but they are pretty cool animals and I can't help it. Still believe everyone should raise these awesome creatures if they get a chance to at some point in their life.

The wetness was mostly water I wiped on her to bring her a little relief from the eye swelling.

Ill miss ya buddy

One last picture together! RIP Stitch!

 The nights have cooled down a bit, even with it still breaking 100 degrees in the day time. There have been a few cloudless moonless nights lately and I have been getting a lot of stargazing in. It is just cool counting satellites and shooting stars... and a few lights in the sky I'm not going to try to explain, but still cool non the less. People who don't believe in UFOs... all ya got to do is stay up all night looking at the stars in a dark sky, and you will see some stuff that doesn't make since and it might just change your mind! lol. But again, it is just amazing seeing the crazy amounts of stars and the Milkyway galaxy's belt across the sky and just the beauty of knowing we are just a small spec of sand in the realm of the universe... kinda humbles you if you really think about it.
