Chicken Little

We are happy to report that after 19 days, Don got his 27 staples out yesterday and is finally mending nicely. He got a nasty infection that they watched carefully (almost daily). Thank goodness for strong antibiotics .... that are rarely fatal (in the description). On the 5th day it began hurting so much that we rented a wheelchair. Today is the first day that he has gone back to crutches for short jaunts out. His foot still needs to be elevated most of the time. Tomorrow he is going to try driving. Doctors said he'll be ready for keeping up with the Peterson's in July. Hooray!!!

Relaxing in the sun.


Tuesday was Julie's birthday, so Donnie got her a chicken. Since she and Joe can't have pets in their apartment, he agreed to keep the chicken and give her the eggs. What a Bro!


You can run, but you can't hide. Kimber enjoyed chasing the chicken. It would find what it thought was a good hiding place and there she was. Unfortunately, the flowers took most of the beating, much to Don's chagrin.


Janey actually liked the cage better then the chicken. It has a thin, metal bottom that makes a lot of noise when stomped on just right. There were even sufficient hand holds for her to move all around. Kimber was intent on putting the poor thing to bed, and Janey was willing to share the space.


I'm not sure if she thinks she's a parrot or is trying to get away from small hands. Friendly little thing.


Riding a skateboard! That morning she was safely in her cage at the feed store, now look at her. Wonder if we could win on Funniest Home Videos.



Molly and Sandy taking it easy in Don's Flintstone house. Sandy likes to lay in the dirt there to keep cool. Down side is she brings it in the house.
