Few thinks suck more than losing your job, it has to be high up on the top 5 list of bad things that happen. Brebis, I wish you hopes for finding a new job soon, a much much better one that will make you feel very good that you lost your old job.

When I've asked to have my chickens evaluated, to help them judge the breed experts have asked for a top view that shows the width of the head and back and tail area, a level chest view, a level sideways view, and a level back view and a good close up head shot.
