I Wonder If

Aug
28

…..when people search on Google for cute butts, are they disappointed when they hit this post?

And if, when they search for tattooed biker chicks, they are equally dismayed by Google leading them to this post?

This moment of pointless ponder brought to you by my site’s stats program.

And now it’s that time again, when I randomly poke my finger at the calendar to select a day (since the last time I did it), then input the number of comments on that day’s post in Random.org’s Integer Generator to choose the recipient of a $50 Amazon gift certificate. And so I poked my finger, eyes closed, at the calendar and came up with August 5th, which was the day I talked about learning to trim the goats’ hooves. There were 45 comments (as of this writing) on that post, and when I inputted that range online, I came up with:

And that comment belongs to….

“They have that nail grinder that you can use on a dogs nails instead of clipping them, I wonder if that would work on hooves?”

Hi, maryann! Email me! (There is a Contact Me link at the top of the sidebar.)

In other news, Chickens in the Road has been nominated in four categories in the Blogger’s Choice Awards (thank you, Treasia!) and if you want to help me out, you can vote for me in any or all of the categories for Best Animal Blogger, Best Blogging Host, Best Humor Blog, and Best Photography Blog.

Of course, I do not mention this for myself. I have no desire to have awards heaped upon me. I don’t need validation or accolades or pots of gold. (I don’t think there are any pots of gold involved.) This isn’t about me!

It’s about Clover.

And Coco.

And Spartacus.

Not me. Really. Truly. Except for the part where I want to win something!!!!!

I’m just kidding. I don’t want to win. That’s why I shamelessly put all four buttons for the Blogger’s Choice Awards in my sidebar. Because I don’t care. At all. I mean it!

Clover and Coco and Spartacus made me do it.

The Slanted Little House

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....
