There are few things in life that push my buttons and give me warm fuzzy sighs. Chickens, of course, are some of those things.
You may have noticed by now that we’re don’t think much of having unique pets. Lorenzo, our wild bird, is still hanging around outside, although we are doing our best to teach him to hunt for bugs and things.
Ok, I confess, we brought him into the gargage yesterday afternoon when we were barbequing because that’s where his food is, and we wanted to grill without cooking him and he wouldn’t stop landing on people and wouldn’t leave the grill alone.
So. It was for his own safety that we tucked him inside for a while. I’m pretty sure he slept the whole time.
I can’t remember if I referenced it last year or not, but The Bloggess got her husband Beyonce for their 15th anniversary. It, then, should also come as no surprise that I’ve spent the last year keeping my eye out for a local version of Beyonce that can join our girls in the backyard, because I’m nice to them like that. Alas, I haven’t found the right one yet.
I did, however, find a nice, large windmill that I’m still working on Hunny to let me bring home. I need his truck, though, because it won’t fit in mine. So far, he’s not sharing. I suppose I could steal borrow it when he’s sleeping sometime, but that might not work too well since he’s the early bird in our family. Humph.
But I digress.
I was wondering what kind of awesomeness The Bloggess was going to get her husband this year. I was pretty sure that nothing could top Beyonce. I may be wrong. You be the judge.
As you can imagine, I’ve been giggling about this all morning. When Hunny came home for lunch, I couldn’t help but share the news.
He chuckled and said, “I honestly wouldn’t be surprised to come home and find a sloth in the house.” 
He also thought the wallaby was cool, too, you know, since we’re enjoying our bantams so much. Miniature critters are awesome!
I’m pretty sure we’re not allowed to have them in the city, which just gives me yet another reason to really try to get my house sold so I can move out to the country. ♥♥♥
P.S. No, you can’t have Hunny, any of you. I know you’re dying to get your hands on a man who wouldn’t think twice about having creatures of all kinds as pets, but sorry girls, he’s taken.
I won’t leave you high and dry, though. To find your own creature-loving man, check out a newer dating site; Farmers Only.com.
You’re welcome.
Thank goodness your husband wouldn’t freak out at those gifts.
I’m pretty sure victor is one furry blog away from running screaming into the night.
If your husband is an early bird, you should see if the windmill shop will stay open later for you.
hehehe
I know, it’s great, isn’t it? (of course, he used to have a chinchilla for a pet, so maybe that’s where we get it from…………)
Tractor Supply is definitely one of my favorite haunts. I forget how late it stays open- depends on the day. I’m still working on him.
My husband grew up in a trailer in the woods of Alabama with sporadic electricity, has been to more countries ending in “stan” than I knew existed, and taught our dog to count even before she stopped crapping on the floor, so not only does he not mind creatures, but he’s probably related to several. He and my mom both. I’m actually the one who’s neither here nor there as far as animals go. Our 18th anniversary was back in April and we went and got a “couples massage” at a spa here in town. I got it for him because I know that’s right up his alley, it was me who detests having other people touch me. But after 2 hours of that shit followed by strawberries and chocolate and champagne…. ummm…. yeah…. we’re trying to come up with monthly anniversaries like “the first time your car broke down on a date” so we can justify $200 couples massages on a monthly basis. It’s more important than the electric bill, I think.
And despite this awesomeness, somehow, I think your anniversary wins. Perhaps you should go for the ‘time for an oil change’ massage, or better yet, ‘time to add more wiper fluid’ so you can do it more frequently?
I’m pretty sure your guy is awesome, too!
Oh. My. God. Tick… that is so amazing the sloth and the wallaby! WOW! I think the other cute thing was she’s holding the sloth and then you see she’s all like “mo’fo!” hahahaha!~
Wait I said that wrong, she’s got this sweet innocent gleeful smile on her face and THEN she’s all like “Mo’FO!”
lol !
LOL, YES! I LOVE the look on her face when she’s snuggling with the sloth. That right there is pure extacy………….. if you did around some, there are more posts on the Beyonce saga, because she got more than one……….
It sure is, I smiled just looking at her, she was so happy… adorable, she’s adorable and NOW I want a sloth… Okay, I don’t really want a sloth but did you see her hubby’s face? That was a classic picture of a guy trying to absorb what just happened here.
