Michelle- Sounds like you had a wonderful dog. My parents kept a Tri-color female who was born the same year as my older brother and a Blue Merle male that was my age. They both lived till they were 12. My Mom let me sleep outside with Kyle the night he passed. I didn't want him to be alone and somehow knew it was his last night
. I miss them both sometimes but know they had really good lives. Ed is threatening to take me to the Dr if I don't quit coughing soon
, he knows I HATE going to the Dr. Glad you're starting to feel better
. Betsy is so pretty, sounds like she's a lil fighter. Those goats are adorable too.
Jazzy- We only have 2 stores somewhat close to us also, they're both co-ops
and I've been pretty happy with the one closest to us. I have no idea if they sell duck food though. I really hope that changing their feed helps as many as possible of them
. We're getting into the teens here in the next few days. Your puppy is sooooo cute. I really like shelties too.
Charmed- Wish your hubby a very Happy Birthday from us please.I have only raised day-old, gotta build me a bator soon
. So glad you finally heard from your daughter
. Hope she's enjoying Thailand, I think I'd go crazy if one of mine was so far away. I almost did when my baby bro was in Iraq, I practically raised him till I left home and we're really close. Now I have another brother in Afghanistan
.
sonew- I hope you feel better soon
. Corbin, Ethan, Amy and I still have gunk in our chests and the boys are havin some sinus issues too. I'm hopin it's partly due to the change in geography and that they'll get better soon
. I've been lucky about not dropping eggs. My son, the clutz, has dropped a few though. I couldn't really get mad though cause he was feedin them and checkin for eggs some when I was really sick
. Wow, I've never heard of a windsheild bustin like that
, freaky. Glad you have coverage for it though. I'm glad the girls chipped in to help
. My girls fuss about the smell too
, usually about the time the chicks are getting big enough to go to the tractor
. I found putting the water up on a whip cream type container helped to keep them from knockin it over. We'll be spending the next few days organizing and the boys are gonna be learning all our rules, their Dad let em get away with a LOT
. They're really good sweet boys though so I can't stay upset with em long. We're thinking of trying some turkeys, I'm reading up on them and checking prices. I wonder how well they'd sell if I sold em live, I don't wanna deal with all the permits and stuff to dress em out for people yet

mommahen -
Hope you're having a great day today.
We're doing good here, boys are watching nickjr, and my kids are doing what I call free learning today. They get to study whatever they are interested in. I usually do that on the days that public schools are out so they don't gripe about the "regular" school kids being off. I like it cause they are learning research skills that way too
. Ed and Amy are off to the store to get a few supplies in case we're iced/snowed in for a few days. The lil ones wanted to help me feed the animals this morning, they are sooo sweet. I was a meanie though and wouldn't let em. Once it starts warming up a bit I'll let em. Ethan was soooo excited about all our animals. Corbin enjoyed showing his little brother where they all live and telling them who was who yesterday
