Omlet Smart Autodoor - New in box

[Chortle Chook]

I've just realised that all my animals have way too many posessions. They'll never get through the 'eye of the needle'

My dogs have day beds, night beds, inside coats, outside coats, bowls of various sizes, house collars, outside collars, sea collars, heavy blankets, light blankets, visiting leads, scruffy leads, long leads, short leads . . .

My chickens have their house, a shelter, various dishes for treats, as well as the grub / glug, dust bath etc. etc.

My ducks have a bath, a house and again various bowls and dishes as well as a grub / glug

Even my doves have a house, a grit dish and a corn dish

Am I a materialist - guess I must be Are my animals - well my saluki certainly is as he loves all things comfortable, but I don't think the others are.

Tango has quite a lot of possessions - day bed, night bed, pretty collar, plain spare collar, harness, various leads of different types and lengths, warm coat for chilly days (used a lot last winter as she was still putting on weight, but she doesn't seem to be feeling the cold so much this year), toys she plays with, toys she doesn't play with , fleecy blankets, flashing light up collar for dark nights, various chews and treats, several food bowls, a freezer full of meat... and probably some other stuff I have forgotten!

 

The chooks have less stuff - a couple of coops, feeders, drinkers, Flyte so Fancy wooden dustbath , food, water and a few supplements for their feed (mostly acquired from a friend who gave up chicken keeping) and the odd treat!

 

Think that's about it

[Gertie]

My chooks have their Eglus and all associated gubbins. A huge range of unused feeders and drinkers and potions in the greenhouse. They also have 2 jumpers someone knitted for some previous ex batts I had (never used them)

 

My cats have a big scratching post with platforms, a wicker basket, a radiator bed, a heat pad, a basket of toys, 4 travel boxes, a box of brushes, collars, combs, treats etc, blankets, 2 cat flaps, a sack of biscuits and some cat meat! And of course, me!!!

Too many ..........

The usual assortment of collars, leads, bowls and and toys that I find all over the house from the dogs. Then beds, it's a standing joke in our family, our dogs have beds in the lounge (to match the furniture), beds in the kitchen and of course thick furry winter beds and thinner summer beds. Dogs make us laugh as act like kids when new or newly washed beds are put out, in and out making sure they pick the best one.

As the chicks the cube of course with WIR and too many various feeders and drinkers.

Daughter thinks we have empty nest syndrome!

Nope. One cat bed, which neither cat uses - they prefer clean washing, spare duvet, my bed ... I really must recycle it. Feeding bowls - actually I have to confess to having the very cute Alessi cat bowls, they were a gift - I would never have spent that much, and it's wasted as my two are such bad friends that they never eat side by side.

 

Hens have a galvanised drinker and a plastic hanging feeder, anything else I tie up in a bit of plastic twine that hangs from the roof of the run. I'm quite minimalist where animals are concerned!

 

Oh, there are a couple of rather soggy catnip mice lurking under the sofa somewhere.

Ditto; they just have what they need and no more.

Neela has a few bits and bobs - short leather lead for town and a long retractable one for park runs, a training lead (unused), several rope chew toys, two soft toys (one from her first home), lots of pound land fleece blankets, a football sized tennis ball, a bag of chew pig skin bones, her food and water bowl, night bed, beanbag in the living room, a flat oval bed for around and about, an old tshirt of mine for when she first came to live with us. Plus any empty cardboard tube she can get her paws on

Yo-yo and Gizmo have a bed wherever they can find one a scratching post, catnip fish around the place somewhere, a fish on a stick, their food bowls and water bowl and that's pretty much it.

Chickens just have the grub and glue which came with the cube, plus lots of logs to climb over. And a garden bench to keep an eye over everything!

I've come to realise that I'm just not a minimalist where anything is concerned. What's the opposite? A Maximalist? I think that's me. Too many dogs, too many chickens, too many birds, too many books, too many ornaments, far too many cushions . . . . OH is lucky I just have the one partner Empty nest syndrome? This nest is certainly not empty

All our animals share each others things, you will find a rabbit playing with a cat toy, a chicken playing

with the dogs treat ball, dogs trying to sleep in cat baskets.

No possessiveness in our house.

Or the male labrador fetching the cat's pink handbag!

 

I forgot, my dogs share a teddy (well, it belonged to Ruby when she was little) and a couple of other toys. I'm no minimalist, but just don't do 'stuff'.
