Ikr? Poor girl just deserves the best, especially now that she's so old. I got her her own blanket for the cold days/nights because she didn't have her own. It has rainbow unicorns on it and matches her rainbow halter.
I would love to have enough money to own my own horse, but that's probably years away. Sandy is very old, so I'm just giving her love like she's my own so she can know what it's like to have people who care for her during her last years.
Lol Sandy wants more than treats, but she does appreciate it when I bring bananas. She knows that when I show up, she'll get to leave her stall and exercise and get groomed and get lots of attention. Her owner doesn't come around ever and nobody else except one old dude even pays her any attention. The old dude and I have pretty much adopted her and work together to give her the life she deserves. She's very spirited, so a lot of people think she's dangerous but she's not. Well no less dangerous than any other horse.
I work at an MSP and we have a user that gets stuck in his native country for a few months every few years when his visa expires. Getting him set up remotely to work in situations like that is nearly impossible. I'm just waiting for the day he tells us that he's stuck there for good. Poor guy just wants to do his job
My parents gave me money for some horseback riding lessons, except the cash was in all 5's and each bill was individually ziploc'd and the bags were taped together in a long strip and I had to pull it out of this box with it all spooled up inside. Apparently it took my stepfather two days to complete. He wanted to do all 2 dollar bills, but the bank didn't have enough
I'm not an experienced DM, but am experienced player. Just started DMing a campaign for a group of new/relatively new players and it's incredible. They're having a blast and getting so into it. I've only DM'd a few times before, so this is my first time running a full campaign. A couple know just enough to help the others with basic gameplay and I help with mechanics and stuff if need be. They're not problematic at all and actually have a very good party dynamic going. Can't wait to see how they progress.
I got into chickens when my sister started 4H, and when our chickens died suddenly, my grandma got us 3 ducklings as a gift without consulting anyone. They imprinted on me immediately and I was like, "I guess this is my new obsession because I'm a mother now."
That was 8 years ago. I started off with a Muscovy male, a muscovy female, and a mallard female. We rescued a second Muscovy female a couple years in. I moved to my own place in 2022 and brought the remaining birds with me, which were the Muscovy male and mallard female.
I ordered some more ducklings and rescued a couple birds over the course of 2022 and 2023. Right now I have:
2 female muscovies: Mama Duck and Lady. Mama Duck fights me over eggs, so I have to pull a Skyrim move and put a bucket on her head so I can take her eggs without her attacking me. Lady is very sweet and shows me her eggs and acts all happy when I compliment her best and thank her for the eggs.
A tiny male mallard and his mate who is a female mallard that looks like a male but has laid eggs. Little guy is Sonic (because he runs SO FAST) and his mate is Amy. Amy went through duck menopause about 6 months after I got her, so that's why she looks like a male in terms of feathers. Without her ovaries producing female hormones, her feathers defaulted back to mostly male. She and Sonic were rescued from a local family who couldn't care for them anymore.
A male Pekin that doesn't have male traits but I've seen his dick a few times. His name is Salt. He is a lil chonky.
A male khaki Campbell named Pepper. He was purchased with Salt as a baby. They were on sale for 25% off and were 100000% an impulse buy. They're besties and don't leave each other's sides.
A female khaki Campbell named Capri-Sun who yells a lot
A female Pekin named Judy. She's named after judge Judy because she's always squinting at me in a judgmental way and interrupts me with sassy quacks any time I talk to her. She's done this since she was literally only a day old. She has a distinct quack that has a squeak to it.
A female golden layer named Cayenne who is hella chill.
A female Cayuga named Fashionista who is slowly turning from black to white with each molt of her feathers (that's normal)
Yes? And?
