Down To One Egg

**Nanci** · 05-01-2006, 06:05 AM

I just saw them switch. There is only one egg now. Someone posted on the forum they saw mom eating the shell of the other egg. I guess there's still marginal hope.

oh gee..... so my horrible day continues (NOTHING is going right for me today! i want to go back to bed and hide under the covers)

this just upsets me to know end...... i'm already overly emotional where animals are concerned.... and this is just so hard... after watching... waiting.... expecting....

i'm so sad.... biting my tongue to keep from crying (i'm at the office)

We have something bogging down our internet connection today - are they at all optimistic on the eagle forum? How many days has it been?

I'm still hopeful, but realistic. I think we have more emotional investment in this than the eagles. I'm rooting for that last egg. Come on little guy/girl - hatch - pleeeeasssse!!!

I am back on my regular computer, so I can access the site; but havn't seen anything yet. Sure hope we have at least one baby.

Oh man!!! I can't get the site to come up- well the cam or the forum.. UGH! But it looks like nothing but bad news. Poor eagles! That breaks my heart! They have been such good eagle parents too!!

They don't know. They only know what to do "if." If there are eggs in the nest, sit on them. If the egg doesn't hatch in X amount of time, get rid of it. If a baby eagle magically appears, feed it and keep it warm. They've had long lives and replaced themselves many times over.

True enough - but still sad. Like I said - it's going to affect us more than them.

Yeah, I was pretty devastated when one of Chloe's puppies was still born. Chloe just got down to business of taking care of her 4 living pups.

Oooh - what type of dog is Chloe?? (I'm a dog ****.)

Edit: wow - I didn't put in those ***'s!! I put in a word for "lady of the evening" indicating my complete goofiness over any dogs.....

here's my boy...

**snapdragen** · 05-01-2006, 06:12 PM

She's a Pembroke Welsh Corgi - cute as heck and knows it.

**maillotpois** · 05-01-2006, 06:19 PM

WOW!!! She is so cute!! My grandparents had a corgi when I was a kid. Great dog. A short big dog - definitely not a "little dog."

Any more pups coming???

My boy's a breeder for Guide Dogs for the Blind. He gets to go on "dates" and make baby guide dogs. Dumb as a post, but SO sweet,

**snapdragen** · 05-01-2006, 06:41 PM

Nope - her pregnancy and delivery traumatized me

She had to have a cesarean, could've died - I'm glad she was with the breeder, who knew what was going on!

She's been "fixed".

**maillotpois** · 05-01-2006, 06:45 PM

Good thing she's okay. Gosh she's cute, though!

Boy did we ever hijack this thread....

We now return you to your original programming...

**snapdragen** · 05-01-2006, 06:47 PM

I watched the eagles for a bit today - caught them when mom/dad brought dinner to whoever was sitting on the egg. Man, for such regal birds, they sure have sissy calls....

**Lise** · 05-01-2006, 08:58 PM

I like the way Nanci put it, that the birds know what to do "if". Love the dogs. Adore my cats. Hoping for an eaglet.
