A Sense of Doubt blog post #1609 - Happy Seventh Birthday to Satchel!

I could go nuts with this post, but the point of it is to keep it short. Find more pictures via the links.

My Satchel archive contains all the Satchel-centric posts.

Today Satchel Paige Tower is seven years old, which hardly seems possible.

It seems as if I did not do a Satchel birthday post on 1507.17, which was just twelve days after I started the daily HEY MOM feature.

In 2016, a Bunch of pictures and this one....

In 2017, a proper send up for her fifth birthday.

Happy birthday to my Booness.

I celebrate her Booness' special day with links to some of my best Satchel content plus a reprinting of the entire Happy Birthday post from last year.

I am trying to get us out for a special birthday walk later. We did the regular walk this morning.

There are some of my favorite Satchel pictures included in this post along with the links to some of my best Satchel posts.

Happy birthday to my first and ever special puppy Satchel Paige.

I love you, Booness.

(Obviously, I also love Ellory as seen in some of these photos.)

Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #131 - Satchel does chickens

Hi Mom,

Time again to have a puppy on this blog.

Knowing Satchel as I do, this is a great picture of her as she is telling me: "Dad, it's time to do chickens."

"Doing chickens" means that she gets in to the side yard, which is currently closed to her. In the morning, we let the chickens out sometime between 8 and 10 a.m.

Satchel runs full tilt to the gate to the side yard and then sprints for the back fence, checking all her spots. She has not responsibility in the morning when we let the chickens out of the coop to roam, and she has more time to explore and sniff her spots if I have to change their water and/or food.

At night, we put the chickens away. Sometimes, we time it right, and the chickens are already in the hen house. But if they are still in the yard, Satchel gets to wrangle them, shooing them back to the coop.

Recently, some chickens did not wish to be shooed, hunkering down in bushes next to the fence far from the coop. There was a terrifying ordeal of many minutes attempting to herd the chickens. I feared that Satchel intended to grab one in her jaws and carry it like a bad puppy to the coop. In the end, I carried one chicken back.

Satchel is a very good puppy. She does not try to hurt the chickens, though if she gets into the side yard during the middle of the day, she will chase them back to the coop anyway.

One thing that makes her extra excited is that she gets a treat each time her returns from the side yard both in letting out the chickens and putting them back in the coop, which is partly why her is so excited. This is how we talk about her. We just use "her" for everything.

Happy Birthday, My love.

Satchel "duh boo" Paige Tower, Her Booness, heart of my heart.

- Days ago = 1474 days ago

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
