More rain. Robs does much better in a stable place, like weeding with me, than walking. Less overstimulated I guess. He's started experimenting with barking when alone. I wish I had a trail cam, there are so many things I'd like to see, including his behaviour and the inside of my chicken coops and and and.

The ravens/crows tattered the roof of my greenhouse standing on it and waiting for eggs to start peeping so they could go in and eat the unhatched chicks. A group of four geese managed five chickens between them for the last few days, my fingers are crossed they make it. Getting closer to having proper enclosures. Very interested to see if we do go into food scarcity (which I kinda doubt about calories, but not about variety) whether people's attitudes towards the kind of animals which damage foodstuffs change. Semi-suburb areas, the five acre sort of spots, are banning chickens (municipal/regional bylaw sort of things) on Vancouver Island for what appears to be fear of disease transmission reasons.

I think the PEM symptom of "everything swollen above the larynx" is here to stay. It seems to be pretty reliable.

Happy about the rain, I won't need to water before I till for tomatoes, and I can actually weed.
