One Step Back.....

Although today was not a really bad day, it wasn't one of my best.  I had two different episodes of low blood sugar and had to make myself drink some orange juice to get over that.  I just took it easy after I made us breakfast.  That was almost at noon so we ended up only having two meals today.  The Beast made dinner.

The Beast discovered that the hens have found a new place to lay their eggs.  In a bucket, of all things!   Unfortunately, we ended up throwing them out due to the fact that they had obviously frozen during the two nights we dropped down into the 20's.  The Beast broke open 3 of the dozen eggs and the yolks were all broken apart (a sign of their having frozen).  We didn't want to chance any problems so .... out they went.  He also removed the bucket (he had been using it to refill the water jug) from the coop so there wouldn't be any more temptation.

One thing we discovered is that Dennis loves eggs....raw eggs.  The canned dog food that he was refusing (he prefers the chicken that the Beast cooks up and mixes with rice) he will eat if you add an egg or two.  Since the Beast bought a case of the canned dog food (and it was expensive!), it now means it won't be sitting uneaten any more.  He's been eating a can every morning since the Beast discovered he loves eggs.

Dennis got all excited today and wanted my attention.  He even *talked* to me to keep me petting him.  He also kept licking my face and neck.  It was funny because the Beast got a little jealous of the attention he was giving me.  Dennis is really so thoroughly the Beast's dog that I was amused by his reaction.  The Beast was on his computer and not paying attention to Dennis (and Dennis can't sit in his lap on the desk chair!).  I was sitting on the bed, talking to the Beast and that allowed Dennis to get up on the bed next to me.   He finally dropped his head in my lap until I got up to go back to my computer room.

I'm heading back to bed now so I wish everyone a great night and an even better day.  True Spring will be here soon.  Don't give up.  ***Hugs***
