found the coolest thing. its a small aquarium heater totally encased in plastic and about 5 inches long and 1 inch thick. It's for 5 gallon aquariums but keeps a 2 gallon bucket of water from freezing without a problem. I've got one in the goat barn and one in the coop. So nice to not have the...
ha ha. can't remember my own name!!! i'll check facebook. i'm so lazy about getting on stuff.
Cold here too. 6 last night and lots of snow. GD coming out today to go sledding. I'm so excited (not-lol). It's too cold out there but suppose i'll end up pulling her up and down the hill...
That's Oklahoma. They got the fire stopped at 72nd. We live on 84th so it was kind of getting close. DH and I drove over there so we would know if we needed to be loading up all the animals. Luckily not this time!
Talking about Oklahoma, there's now one of our state reps who is trying to...
Are those the same as sand plums? We used to gather those from the wild bushes along the road in rural Oklahoma. Oh...sand plum jelly CAN NOT be beat! Wish I had some now. Summer in a jar!
What good ideas, Fuzzy. I'm a big proponent of Vit C. I use a mix of C/cod liver oil/probios and Vit E whenever Maggie the goat gets a UTI. It works wonders. I also use Manna Pro for the goats' minerals and it's really good stuff. I know what you mean about losing one. We are going on 2...
Hey everyone. Been a busy two days - so much for a life of leisure after retirement - ha. I've been building a stall in the barn to contain the bad goat during eating time. Yosi is a wether who thinks he can 'do it' and acts like he can, complete with bullying and chasing and ...other things...
Ha Ha! Maybe if he had he'd be a bit calmer. Maybe some salt peter but there's nothing there to salt...hmmmm....
Thanks, Tee. Yeah, I had my messages messed up. That's what I get for being off so long. The weather up there sounds terrible. It's supposed to get cold and sleety here this...
Hi Robin. Thanks to you and Rusty for the ideas on calming the dogs. I'm ready to try anything. It was a rough night plus am coming down with a cold gaaaah..
Those babies are the cutest things. Bottle feeding would be a job for sure. Are you going to shear your sheep in the spring? Or...
Hey tee. Asthma is no fun - especially when you have a chest cold to go with it. Do you have a preventative inhaler? I use flovent and it seems to really help. I've not had a major attack since I started it. But the cold and A cold will really do a number on you. Go slow and try to breathe...
Hi Hannah. Yeah, about an inch. It melted mostly as soon as it hit the ground but we got quite a bit of moisture - YAY! How about you? Are you north of OKC?
I am going to remember this. Thanks Rusty.
A vanilla latte here, please. We actually have a starbucks in the student union right...
Been up to see my dad the last 4 days. It's always good to spend time with him but I'm sooooo glad to be home. Missed DH, goats, chickens, even housework - ha. I don't do sitting around for that long very well. They have found large oil/gas deposits around the town I grew up in so there are...
Me too, Nova. I couldn't believe they did that. He did want out of the show and I guess in Britton they don't have contracts quite like ours so they had to do it at the end of the season. But YUCK! It was just getting interesting with him and the estate.
