Hangin' With Mr. Cooper

File me under cuckoo bananas but I want a Chicken Crib!

how cute is this?!

From day one as an official homeowner, I declared a desire for a chicken coop in our backyard. Chris rejected the idea in a flash but I'm still for it. Not too long ago my in-laws found a homeless chicken in their backyard (and they live no where near farm life...nor do we). The chicken has since taken up dual residence in their yard along with their neighbor's yard. I guess you can say I've been living vicariously through my in-laws, er, squattin' chicken. Anyhow, last night I came across this landscape architect's neato coop design.

just a couple of hipster hens

Here's the thing, as a youngster I spent the entire summer (clap clap clap clap) deep in the heart of Mexico, with the fam. To keep my sisters and I occupied, we'd adopt a couple of baby chicks (sometimes ducklings). We'd raise the little guys, have them race against each other, hide them in the closet and scare the bejesus out of our aunts until it was time to fly back to the states. Oh the nostalgia is killing me!

How about a little game of marriage ref? Coop or no coop?

Wealthy Wednesday: Gilded eiCrate

I'm a sucker for pets; especially cats. What I wouldn't give to have a kindle of kittens. Chris objects to the idea. >_< He refuses to accompany me to the Petco adoption center- just to look! In his defense he whimpers at the sight of the jailed fishies. I'm just glad he opted for our current feline, 'Uncle Kitty'.

I never knew there was such an immense market for pet beds and accessories. I mean, the thought that someone would purchase a 22.5K Gold Crate. Real Gold!  It's baffling!

Hmm, what does 22.5K gold go for these days?? Eleven thousand dollars! Uh huh, you read correctly, $11,000.  Fortunately, there is also a production for ordinary bulbous crates with a reasonable price of just $100.

Isn't he just a cutie patootie? Both crates are available at Go!PetDesign.

 

Just for kicks, I lurked the web to find more dazzling pet rests and I gotta say, I'm weak in the knees for this Jetsons inspired pod.
