July 30th

Yesterday was sad for us.

Due to a neighbor's complaint,

we had to send Gizmo to the SPCA.

He was beginning to acclimate to

our little backyard farm.

But,

in our town there is a domestic

fowl rule that only allows for 4 hens

at the most. 

This has changed from 10 years ago,

when it was 8.

 There always has been a ban on roosters

but,

we heard them crowing every morning,

even before we ever found Gizmo.

So, a code violation notice was pinned

to our front door last Thursday,

It stated that we had to remove

all roosters and hens, over the limit of 4,

or face a daily fine if we didn't comply.

Our 2 girls can remain at home.

Ironically,

we had been trying to find a home 

for Gizmo since the CEO rescued him.

All places he spoke to didn't want

a rooster.

😢

Our only choice was the SPCA.

They assured us that he wouldn't be 

euthanized.

He was such a good boy

riding in the car inside that box.

We said our goodbye's

and left him in (hopefully)

capable hands.

I'm glad we had a small

amount of time with him

and I hope he finds a forever home.
