The NFC B-Day Chat Thread

Yeah, that's a good point. Usually ensures people are serious although here the price can vary per rescue and even per state/region. So some areas are more. But it usually also includes all the vetting which would probably cost that much anyway.

And right!? Isn't she adorable?



Aw you're not old!

And here they do have clinics that offer cheap or sometimes free spaying and neutering. If you don't go through one, it just depends on how much the individual vet costs. We got our cat done at a mobile clinic but the dog at a vet and wow were they pricey lol it was a mobile vet though that usually came to our house but for the neuter she took him to her house. And also he was wayyy too young but she had said he was plenty big enough and we didn't know better. Anyway, this particular vet was wayy pricey on most things so we soon found another vet. We actually only found them when the dog hurt his leg and have been going since because they're very reasonable and good with the animals.

But I think his neuter cost us at least a few hundred. I could find the thing. It was like anesthesia only half hour? So then an extra half hour was extra and lots of stupid little charges like that. Extra for the pain med during it stuff like that. He needs it obviously but lots of extra charges. And since when does a neuter surgery only take half an hour anyway?

ANYWAY. Sorry, got off on a rant lol

Wow 50 animals at once!? How does she do it?

But yeah, the transport costs can be a lot and some places will include that in the adoption fee and some will have an extra fee.



How do you do it? I don't even like cleaning my own home lol

And I can pick up clothes and stuff in my room/off the floor and I actually do like wiping counters and that stuff when I actually do it but yet when I try to organize or go through boxes or piles of stuff I haven't touched etc. or try to find somewhere for the stuff and basically just organizing then sometimes I almost cry LOL it's ridiculous. Cause i dont know what to do first and it gets overwhelming so then i dont clean.

Thats embarassing and random lol sorry

I don’t love cleaning but I’m good at it. I work for myself and I like that I’m my own boss. I’m at the point in my life if it does not spark joy I do not keep it. I won’t keep moving stuff around. To me it’s just clutter but to each their own. I only have to worry about the house I live in

That house does sound bad DMC. I take it the husband is the one that wants someone to come in and clean? Otherwise, I can't figure why someone would worry about a clean house but let their animals do their outside business inside.

They both want it cleaned but she loves her dogs and is willing to put up with their messes I guess. Her husband can’t stand it but loves his wife. I stepped in fresh poop one day and flipped out. Next check I had a raise. Sad thing is the house is only 10 years old. I love my cats but sure as heck ain’t gonna let them poop wherever they want.

@CapricornFarm do your rabbits have stylish winter coats like this one?

Too cute (I saw this on our CL page)!

Nope, no clothes for bunnies. I use them for baby goats though!

Think that wife is missing a few brain cells, who wants animals pooping in the house???
Someone should tell her the dogs would love to go out and poo outside and sniff around to discover what other forms of life have come by.

That collie is gorgeous, love the perfect tulip ears. Just wonder if collies can tolerate such heat, day after day.

I voted!

I voted 3 times I figure there are 3 prizes so we should have a say in all 3.

Hey, how come Veronica is down there in GA?? I SWEAR I saw her when I closed up the barn tonight. In fact I DID, she squatted so I petted her. Betty doesn't have those straight streaks. Aren't they pretty birds?

The worst is she has 3 dogs in the house(small)and they do their business wherever they want. When I’ve had enough I will quit

That is just plain The lady needs to go to obedience school and learn how to at least train her dogs to use puppy pads.

They do go outside for a limited time and then come in and pee. Last time I was there I saw one lift his leg and pee on a basket of clean laundry, couldn’t believe it.

She used to put them out for them but haven’t seen one lately. I think she gave up.

Thank you all for your kind thoughts regarding Castor; no news as yet.

DMC Good way to think “To me it’s just clutter but each to their own. I only have to worry about the house I live in”. Sadly, I have to live in this cluttered one

On pets pooping in the house!

When I arrived a couple of months after hubby and a few weeks after the cats, I found that, for the first time, the cats had fleas! So did Jessie, FIL’s dog and the carpet and pretty much everything else. FIL gets Jessie hydrobathed once a fortnight but I am sure the lady that does it is ripping him off and the supposed flea treatment he thinks she is getting does not work … So, I slip Jessie a chewable flea tablet once a month [cos the angst of raising it with FIL is not worth it] and the cats get done also. No fleas now!

Diva my sister lives in another state, south of me and even though they would also get hot days, the dogs would not feel it sleeping on the couch or the bed under the air conditioner; trust me, those dogs live better than the humans

Was there fleas in the house?

Was there fleas in the house?

Yep

Not anymore though, I bombed, surface sprayed and pretty much went ninja all over them and now keep up the monthly treatment.

I did not need to worry about it before because the cats are inside cats and do not wander anywhere to get fleas but now, with Jessie coming and going and picking them up from all over the village on her walks, I have to be vigilant.
