I’m so dizzy! I’ve spent most of the day sleeping but I have so much to do. This stupid cold can book it on out of here.

Hmmmm.... elderberry syrup four times a day! Have you learned nothing from this thread my child?

I've got a wwyd question for you folks... I seriously want a rooster but technically they're illegal within city limits. I actually did have one at one point but he was a young cockerel, 10 weeks or so old, and would harass the dogs. One day I forgot I left him out and came home to find him dead killed by them. They don't bother the girls but he would chase them and I guess he finally got on their last nerve, but I digress. That being said several of the backyard chicken keepers i know have them. My own next door neighbor had a RIR roo that they got rid of bc he was a jerk not bc of complaints. Anywho should I go with the flow and just get my roo or be a good girl and follow the rules?

Personally, I've discovered that I love having roos. They seem to have so much more personality than the girls. My first roo didn't crow until he was a year old. So, maybe if you went with a heritage breed, that is a slow grower, you can slip it under the radar for longer.

I love the idea of dog trainer and animal behaviorist for you! You'd get to love on pups and help them be better doggies all day long. I think you should pursue this and work with the bear and Libby (I got that right didn't I?) to practice and perfect the techniques you learn!

Thanks! I think I'm definitely going to figure out how to do that and do it. Cause I do love dogs and that's why I think it's perfect because if I could be working with dogs all day, whether it's walking or training or pet setting, why wouldn't I as opposed to being stuck in an office or retail job all day. And very true! Can definitely practice on them and might possibly start volunteering at a shelter or something so I can practice there too and also just get more experience in dogs. Cause I've read a lot/watched videos and theoretically know a lot about dogs and dog behavior but haven't had very much hands on experience with very many different dogs so I think it'd be good.

And yes the correct way to refer to him is the bear or the horse

Better than candy your side has eggs that can actually hatch into chicks! This is all I want! Is it so much to ask?

The sound of silence. What does it make you think of?

I've always pictured a very dark spot with a single light source, a old style street lamp, with varying shades of lightness emanating out revealing rubbish on the pavement.

Starting phase one of being more responsible and less cruel and taking Gator for a walk. By less cruel I mean how I am constantly walking, training, and playing with Libby and talking about how badly I need a new puppy to train while ignoring Gator and leaving him to rot inside all day except to potty or maybe sit on the couch every night to watch TV with me. So we're going on a walk. Just to the mailbox since he can't walk as far now and he's somewhat reactive to other dogs but still. His eyes lit up when I said it and his ears practically flew forward. He was so excited.
