Me too! We have always had one, sometimes two pick ups and now we have zero.
If anyone ever needs help from me and my Pick-up, I'm more than happy to help if it's local that is. Or I do odd jobs like hot shot deliveries sometimes if you're further off.
Be careful, they are high maintenance dogs. They don't ever seem to get enough exercise. I guess that is why they make such great police dogs. My sister has one that blew out both his knees from over use. He finally calmed down now that he's 12 years old.
They are pretty high maintenance. A lot of it for me goes into puppy selection. Using the bicycle set-up I can really wear them out. They're my favorite breed and I'm Jonesing for another project. Economy is on the rise I hear and my phone has rang a couple times asking if I had any dogs? Hmm
I got some nice 8 gallon food grade barrels off Craigslist. They were only $10 and fit a 40 pound bag of feed. They are super easy to open and close and are air tight.
I'm on the lookout for a big fermenting container. Wonder if this would work?
We "strategically" put our compost bins inside the chickens' run so they can jump in and eat bugs and compost. They really help turn the piles. I'll help by heaping the piles to one side, and they level it out by the end of the day, then I pile it up on the opposite side. It helps the materiel compost much faster. I think they actually eat the compost too, not just the bugs.
They love pecking through the compost and if they can't free range it keeps them entertained. Especially if you keep adding stuff to dig through.
Thanks for all the great videos!
