My chickens are wellabit spoilt, I buy them lavendar or lemon scented sawdust for the bottom of their bedroom in the coop and then I fill it up with warm snuggly herby scented hay LOL….. my chickens come out of their coop in the morning smelling like they have spent a night in a brothel. … They all bring me such joy, I could sit in me garden and just watch them for hours, when Im stressed out, which has been a lot of late, I take me cuppa tea and go sit on the bench in the garden and me chickens bring me back down to earth……. no ‘shop ya stress away’ for me…. just sitting amongst the chicken poo and sharing me marmite toast with them, see how low maintenance I really am LOL/Marmitetoasty, Twaddle Everyday Rubbish.

Lets see, how do I spoil my pets. Well, we drive all the way down to Clarkston to hit Costco for their kitty cat food for one.

I play door person whenever I am home (and I SOOO can’t wait for warm weather to finally get here so I can unseal the back door and their kitty window).

We give them treats off our plates at meals and they get space on the bed at night.

Just to name a few ways we spoil them rotten (then again, they are cats, so they believe they are just getting what is rightfully die them LOL)

If you are bedding them down with herby smell, I’d keep your distance. Herb

Let me see… let me count the ways….
Both the cat and dog start the day with their share of tuna fish. The real deal, not cat food tuna..
The both get showers in the tub (the cat is not pleased)
They both have their favorite place to sleep on the bed.
We buy special food for them so they will be healthy.
Both of them, but not at the same time, will lay across my shoulder as I type on the computer.
just for a few things we both do for these two, you see we are the staff for them…
The Dog things she is God, but the Cat knows she is.

As I would my children, in every way possible.
