Ms Tilytinkle Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Hello All, Hope you're all healthy & happy. Enjoying the glorious Autumn & all wealth of colours it brings. I can't tell you how vital this site is to me & mine. I'm here in Dubai - its HOT - apparently their Winter!! I can live with their Winter, its 8am here & its already 27oC Medusa is still poorly!! I feel hundreds of miles away but wow what a daughter!!! Remember last time Medusa was egg bound, it was my daughter reading notes from Omlet forum, she had lists & was verbally guiding me through all needed to be done. Well, when we SKYPED on Saturday - I asked "How's Medusa" & bless our daughter (16yrs old) said "Well Mam, she didn't look so good, so I filled the sink half full with constant warm water and bathed her like we did last time. I know she isn't egg bound but it did made her feel better . . Mam she even lifted up her wing for me to guide the water onto her - after a long bath which she loved I then dried her with the hair dryer, I was very careful with the heat so I didnt burn her & she loved it . . she's still not herself but at least she felt a little better " Aaaw don't they make you proud!! I felt even more homesick & as I'm writing this I AM homesick . .work is very busy - very good but you cant beat being with the family you love especially when Medusa's poorly! Our daughter also cleaned out their cube & poo on Sunday as Mam does it . . her Dad made her a roast & all is well. I work, breathe, sleep, eat, clean & read Omlet - no change there then even when in Dubai ha ha Thanks guys I 'm loving ALL the postings & photies - all of them make me a little closer in my heart though there are too many miles between me & home MsTillysgoingtolookatthevastsprawlingdesertcitywithsmogfilledskyline whilsteatingbreakfast, whenlongingtoseeAutumnalshadesorredandorangeandlawnsofgreen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms Tilytinkle Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 Awww thank you all soooo much, your thoughts & wishes & kindness have brought much warmth here in my heart. Many miles dissolve via kindness. Thank you, you brought much to smile about whilst a few tears flowed. Cakes welcome - offer a gateaux & she's yours!! ha ha Thank you for the huge hugs and tight hugs too - all welcomed & appreciated. . . and normality resumes and work looms!! Its odd how a wee chicken can make us feel a little tearful when they die. I will miss Medusa, they all have such individual characters. Although I did say Goodbye to her before I left , as I did all our animals, just in case but I also joked with her "but i know you're a strong girl - you'll survive" Bless, not to be. Must ask hubby how the other moults are surviving. Poor Lily was almost bald in places. Oh & must remind dear daughter about the rinsed tuna delicacy to be shared. ( note daughter not hubby who thinks their spoilt rotten enough as it is without giving them tins of tuna ha ha ) Joking really I think he'd give them anything too if he thought it would help them. My Hubby said he was going to wash the cube out as she'd slept/died in the nesting box - he says its only right, wash away the smell of death. Ah well you lovely people, hope you all have a delicious day!! A happy day with healthy chickens .. er and work and family healthy & happy too of course - of course MsTilylovesallofyourphotiesofsuchfabulouschickens.
