I think your deductions are quite logical Carol.  No harm in keeping this guy around and at arms length either just in case the worst happens and Archer doesn't make it home, backup that feeds you is always good

I've been told that a female will not chase out a male while she is waiting for the return of her mate.  Like you said, they need to keep their options open, just in case their mate does not return.  and the gifts of food are always good!  lol

Very well thought out Carol!  Wish we could translate their behavior into a positive outcome!

Ha Ha Ha...on your Ewwww!

I agree. I think  that your thoughts and observations are right on, Carol!   
And yes, love your "ewwww"....I hear that everyday!  :-)

So does Mr know she's keeping him at bay for now! Poor guy looks so darn confused. Walking on eggshells. Is this a different kind of bow she does......the bow of "backoff?" I think I'm more confused than he is!

lol The bow of "backoff"!  I like it!

Like I said, this is just me thinking out loud after watching their behavior. 

Hopefully the Watchers will be able to get out this weekend and we'll know more about what's going on.  Yeah right!

You don't know how addicted you really are until it gets taken away from you - can't count how many times a day I went to check in.  So glad to have the forum back!

Thank you to Shaky and Kenn and anyone else who is working on this.  What a nightmare it must be for you!  Hope you have some hair left! 

[Donna]

Beauty has been laying down for quite a while.

Thanks Shaky, I know you did your best with these idiots. Sorry for all the loss of data. BUT.....  YAY, I'm psyched it's back. Maybe I'll slow down now as I'm getting used to not posting so much.

Yes, we are addicted.

Beauty has been lying down in the NB most of this morning.  She spent an awful lot of time in there yesterday too.   Is she okay?

[Dumpsterkitty]

I'll start with this fabulous catch Donna alerted us to from this morning!

This is my personal opinion, so take it for what it's worth...I think Beauty is "going through the motions" of what her body is telling her she should be doing at this point in the year even though she doesn't have eggs to brood.

Someone (MAK?) found an article about an apparently infertile female doing something very similar.  Not saying Beauty's infertile-just didn't lay eggs & her hormones are out of synch.

She's acting normal the rest of the time, so...something we're learning about as we go.

Man, I lost a lot of Posts!! I better catch up!!
