I've been checking craigslist and the local feed stores to no avail. I live in Olympia, but I'd be willing to travel a couple hours to get them.... help?

I did, by myself, pull down a branch that had fallen heavy-end up, balanced on the twigs which are Bacchus' prefered tasty treat. Not a great photo of the twiggy bits, sorry, but the butt of the branch is about 8" in diameter and the place it broke from is over 20 ft. up:



Must go feed the Hamburgs and then go off to HD.

And now my dear, you get to go from a white dog hair furniture setting, to a black dog hair setting.

You may find it necessary to re-apolster everything in your home to a dark color !
