errantemberMy puggle Louie has been looking unusually healthy recently. The reason?
Fresh chicken eggs. Lots of them.
I've been free-ranging the chickens in the yard for the past few weeks, and although it's great in every other way, they have unfortunately gotten into the habit of laying eggs in the yard. I've managed to eat precisely *one* of these eggs.
Louie has probably eaten about five. Maybe more. Who knows? We haven't seen an egg for ourselves in about a week.
So, for the time being, the chickens are being confined to quarters to enable the creation of human-destined eggs. A week long phone-tag exchange finally resulted in the original owner of two of the chickens getting his egg boxes into Austin where I could pick them up. Unfortunately, it also was where someone *else* could pick them up, which, evidently, they did.
Back to Square One.
