Another Successful and Fun Event for Simply Creative by Lily C and the GRPD!!!

This past Saturday, June 18th, marked the 3rd Annual K9K Race at the Riverside Park in Grand Rapids, MI.

Lily and Charlie C had an amazing time meeting new friends like #Cena the Retired, but still Amazing and Heroic War Dog from Muskegon, Michigan! He and Lily actually spent a lot of time cuddling and flirting, much to the duress of her overly protective mother ;) 

EXHAUSTED FROM MEETING AND PLAYING WITH #cena

But worry not, #Cena was a perfect gentleman, like MOST American Hero's.

Charlie had a great time with his gifted tennis ball and Sarah was busy with the over 400 attendees who graciously inquired after the pet and personal beauty product lines of Simply Creative by Lily C!

GF, Organic Carrot Cake, Blueberries, Kale and Broccoli Moist Treats!!

A personal thank you goes out to Tony Leonard of the Grand Rapids Police Department for his enduring efforts to raise awareness and funds for the GRPD K9 Unit thru co-chairing the K9Krace.com.  He also helped me personally find a tent and table since it was sunnier and more humid than originally expected!

Thank you again and good work!  Also, well be sponsoring your event(s) next year as well!

Also, meeting the widow of Andrew Elliott Rusticus was a very rewarding experience for me personally.  She and his extended family are truly gracious and Godly people and we are all better for knowing them and seeing their strength in all things and paths!

Oops! I Did It Again!!!

Have you heard the old joke, Sarah goes into the local TSP for some dog food and ends up bringing home 26 additional chicks?!?!

lol 

Assorted Clearance Chicks :)

It seems to be a bit of a running joke around my house especially lately since the stores seem to want to practically give away their remaining chicks :)

And today the deal was 2 for $.99!!!  Who could blame me for taking advantage of such a deal?!

So 20 Bantams and 6 Pullets will be meeting the rest of the flock in about 6 weeks, hahaha :)

 

THIS IS SPRING in WEST MICHIGAN!

Once I get these guys settled in with last week's Clearance Chicks, I'll update with more pics :)

 

Have a blessed day!

Lily C gets a Chick Kiss - See how she reacts ;)



Simply Creative by Lily C's Backyard Chicks

Lily C was born a natural mother and while she'll never have the opportunity to have her own pups, she's taken to "mothering" her feathered babies like white on rice!

Being a mix of Rhodesian Ridgeback and Black Lab, I've realized quickly that her prey chase instinct, esp. for birds is very high and this had me worried for their safety.  But much to my relief she's always been very gentle with her little ones and only very lightly nips or licks them when they try to escape from the safety of their netted run.

Today, much to my own Mother's delight (laughter heard in video), Lily finally got a taste of her own medicine when one of the bigger Dutch Red Roos gave her a much deserved kiss on the nose :)

Lily C of Simply Creative by Lily C Gets Her First Kiss!

The chicks might be feeling their oats today as evidenced by their perky chirping - the recipe is GMO free and always made at home with as many garden treasures as possible!  I'll share the recipe here soon!

The Hobby Farm Gets Started!

I've been wanted to start a composting bin for years and much to my surprise and joy, my supportive parents gave me a starter rotating composter for my birthday!!!

Can't wait to turn my table scraps and yard waste into rich soil!

What will I grow first?
