Granny's gone and done it again

[Granny Hatchet]

I got the apron all attached to the new run. I took the door off and changed it around so it swings better. Collected a load of rock and put it on the apron here and there. Attached the last corner of the run properly.
Then dumped the load of manure i had in my wagon. Tires still need air. Guess i will have to do it myself because hubby can't take a hint. I did spray the 4 shutters he asked me to though.
I have a couple of pieces of hardware cloth to put on the revised brooder. And i need to screw on the boards that have hooks to hold waterers and feeders. Then i need to attach a roof. After that it should be good to go unless i want to put a heat lamp box or 2 in there.

geez Cap, that sound like 2 weeks worth of work to me.

I chewed 2 baby asprin and got in my recliner then put my feet higher then my heart. That helps the blood pump up there . Then Tom brought me a nitro pill. Man that thing gives you a pounding headache! Water wont do anything that I know of.

You should still go to the ER if you needed nitro, that's just a temporary measure

I know hun but it was the low iron that caused it and since I started taking the iron I havent had any more problems.

Nah, I have a lot to accomplish. Glad I got that perch put up for the Calico bantam cochins, maybe their water will stay cleaner.

I just got a phone call saying they were the SS office and my card had been stolen and there is a warrant out for my arrest. LOL

Sounds like you are like me. The only way to heal the hole in my heart after losing a dog is to plug it with another dog. Otherwis all the joy and life force in my heart drains out and I'm not worth the bullet it would take to shoot me.

Well. I mean. It’s freaking lonely. The security of a dog (yeah I know my goose isn’t going to be a guard dog for a while! He’s gotta grow up!) all sorts of factors.

We lost our first cattle dog almost two years ago to degenerative myelopathy. When we found the 5 cattle dog pups I laughed and told the vet that Dingo left such a big hole in our hearts that it took 5 puppies to fill it.

Brave soul. I couldn’t handle that many. I know my limits. But I plan on getting another in about 2 years or so. Let this guy get older/settled in/trained a bit because this empty house feeling is the freaking worst.

You rebel you.

@prostar, it has been a real trip and not for the faint of heart, that is for sure. Between discovering that they think that our 5 cats are chew toys (what do you expect when they are playing tug of war with a rabbit when you find them) and getting chewed up by trying to break up a couple of sibling rivalry fights we occasionally look at one another and wonder if we are still in our right minds.

They are 21 months old now and yes, coming along nicely in spite of all the challenges. Some of the same sex fighting is dying off (spay and neuter helps that? Really? I don't think the cattle dogs read that chapter) and I have to admit that they are a riot when we turn them out in their yard in the morning and the first thing they do is turn their noses up and howl back at the local coyotes.

Mess with us? I don't think so!

Hi everyone. Busy day here. They delivered our new door today. Now getting it installed will be the neat challenge. Our house was built with green oak lumber. Green oak is HARD when it cures and dries. Solid as a rock but everything needs to be predrilled. Then there is the fact that the Amish guy who built our house must have missed a few chapters in the Amish Construction handbook because we never know what surprises await us when we tear into a wall.

Fun today. I gave the chicks a grasshopper. Yep, a rousing game of Grasshopper Keep Away ensued, always chuckleatious to watch!

Yes and make sure when you do the nitro that Tom doesn't handle it with his bare hands as it absorbs through the skin.

Nursing instructor told our class about the student she had who handled a nitro tablet and passed out cold from the drop in blood pressure.

sweet dreams lover boy. OH BTW, Enola said for you to spank me. LOL

I saw that just a bit ago and I have 2 yes two razor straps to wear out on your bottom.
