Three Little Peeps


I just couldn’t resist. The boys had a left over Peep container from Easter and I saw it on the counter and thought about how cute that would be if I had baby chicks to put in it. Voila! Sam’s new peeps fit perfectly and Quinn takes the best pictures so… the cutest chick picture we have ever taken.

 

These chicks know they are special. Besides the paparazzi photos being taken of them all day, our Border Collie was left unattended in the garage (somehow) with the peeps and when I went into the garage I was surprised to find Bullet in hyper babysitting mode… he was in the pool with the chicks! All the chicks were fine and there was no excessive peeping so I guess they were fine with a big furry dog sharing their space. He got a big scolding and so did the kids.

 

Y’all come back now!

About the author

I am a work at home Mom of two of the best boys ever. I am a Nationally Certified Master Groomer and have been grooming out of my home for the last 12 years. We have recently moved to Greenbrier Tn on 27 acres. We are new to the "homesteading thing" but we are excited to learn. We hope to be filling our farm with many critters and a garden. We are homeschoolers so everything is a unit study to us. It has been fun to see the boys help Dad cut firewood. We will also be learning how to build a chicken coop in the near future as well. I have been making handcrafted soap lately as well and I am seeing an improvement in that business as well. It is all natural vegetable and goat milk based soaps. Can't wait to share this experience with everyone.

    Loved all of the photos but would have loved one of Bullet in the dog house (I mean chicken house) more! That peeps photo is priceless! You go girl!! Just keep that camera handy.
    Sam, I will be excited to see your journal about your chicks. It will be interesting to see how you like being their ‘mama’. Just watch out who you choose to guard the hen house!
    Love you all, Grammy

    Yes, it would have been a great picture. If I had been a fly on the wall and knew everything was just fine and I didn’t have steam coming out of my ears because of the lack of attention to where the dog actually was….I still would never have been able to get that shot. Bullet is one of the best dogs I have ever had but that freaked me out.

    Oh, I wish you had a picture of Bullet in the pool with the chicks. I bet that was a site!
