Chicks

[LizStreithorst]

They arrived a day early.  Big Head thinks that they're his.  He is fascinated by them.  He hasn't left that spot in front of the cage since before work this morning.  He growls all the other dogs away when the get close.

I can't believe how fast these little things have grown in just 5 days.  It won't be much longer before they outgrow my huge dog cage!

They are all healthy.  They eat, drink,sleep, and grow.  But today I saw something I didn't expect.  I heard loud peeping for such a long time that I figured it had to be a chick in distress.  I looked, and they were playing a game.  One of them found a prize of some kind.  I could tell that it was something  the size of a wood shaving but with a blue tint.  They were playing keep-away.  They were so involved in their game that they even ignored me when I opened the cage, stuck in my big head so I could watch them play their game.! This is good.  They no longer think of me as a threat.
