She "sat" on him - kneeled over him and held him down, head down too and petted him and told him what a good turkey he was. After a bit, let him up. She said it made a world of difference for him to know you are the boss!

Poor Thomas has a really serious crush on you and I don't know how you could ever even think of forcing him to live somewhere else! Maybe you could stick feathers in the Guard dogs hair and he would follow them around! Sounds as though Sushi has begun to see things your way at last. I am so glad for both of you! And that beautiful loaf of bread---my,my, I do love good fresh homemade sour dough bread. I used to make it myself but lost the starter long ago. I have thought I would like to do it again somehow but I know I would eat far too much bread!!<br />Ginny S in TexasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6450899713878614950.post-5234224618865412512013-05-12T17:05:19.464-07:002013-05-12T17:05:19.464-07:00Glad to hear the new meatie chicks are doing well....Glad to hear the new meatie chicks are doing well.
