Here I go again. Just had dinner, and have to be up at 8 am (it's 4:53 am now) No wonder every day seems the same to me. Have to run down and check the cell phone to see what day it really is, and then nap some more.

I've been having mild spells of vertigo- not needing to grab furniture to stay upright. But some headaches thrown in for good/bad measure. I did kinda veer from side to side of the driveway getting my mail. But neighbors probably just think I'm drunk.

I hope the vertigo is better soon!

Hello everyone, another humid day here. Runs are a huge mess. Oh joy. I am trying to build a packing crate coop for some bantams.

Morning Cafe. Thanks for the fresh pot Debby.
It's warm here but we are expecting rain again. It's getting really old. I have an algae bloom in my yard.



Meg, I sometimes go to the nursery on my lunch break just to walk around and look at all the plants. They make me feel good. Of course, when I find the discount plants I usually can't help but to snatch some up. I can't wait to finish my roof this year so I can do the landscaping.

Awe, that sounds lovely. It's so calming, isn't it? I didn't know about discount plants, I may have to ask now. I think I'll run to town tonight for taters, hopefully this nursery will have them. The one I always go to is only about a mile from my house. Nursery on one side and gardens on the other that you can wander around in. So beautiful up there. Me and ma took a couple walks through it in the last couple years.

Dh and I went to eat late yesterday afternoon (Cracker Barrel), and on the way back I noticed a sign that said German Shepherd puppies for sale. On a whim, we stopped in. We talked with the owner for quite some time. First off, the pups are at least 5 months old, and on the skinny side, with dull coats. One of the females, she's not selling. I asked why she waited so long to start selling them. According to her, she didn't wait, but she doesn't advertise, or list them, she only puts the signs out by the road, and these are what she has left. I suspect they had parvo, and they're just getting into decent enough condition to attempt selling.

Secondly I asked about how they got along with other animals. Well, she had a cat, but the parents killed it. They've also killed other cats that have wandered on to the property, and have taught the pups this behavior. I mentioned we have 2 cats. Then she added "they're German Shepherds, so you know how that goes". I listened, without commenting, but no, I don't know how that goes. Growing up, we owned a couple good German Shepherds. They got along fine with my poodle, cats, and cockatiel. I've heard, and seen a lot of ads complaining about this breed not getting along with other animals. Maybe it has to do with us raising ours with other animals, or they were of a better temperament, and disposition, but neither of my German Shepherds had problems with other animals. In fact, they were a herding dog, so all of this high level "other animal" aggression is somewhat contrary to what their true nature should be.

Thirdly, they are not AKC registered, but NKC registered. NKC registration can be very iffy. The dad looked good, but they would not let us see the female. Too aggressive for them to control. Not exactly the temperament I'm looking for.

She was only asking $1,000.00 per pup. I'll pass.
