Granny's gone and done it again

[prostar]

Granny, I am a retired nurse and also have been on cardiac meds since I was 26 years old.

Listen to your body. What is it telling you? Are you stressed out and causing yourself more stress from fear? Pls, your life is important, you are important. Is there somebody you can call to talk to? Some body who will take care of your babies for you?

I know you are scared. Trust me, I've been there too. But your heart is what is keeping you alive and hearing that you are having symptoms is scaring all of us.

Pls take care.

what micro said. Granny for the love of Pete you gotta take care of yourself too!!!

I think I've discovered the disconnect here. What Cap refers to a coop, I call a hen house, or something... and what I call a coop, she refers to as a run... No, not building a coop (hen house) out of chicken wire.. that would be silly. But the hoop coop (run) does have chicken wire over the arched and straight sections of cattle panels.

Amen and amen to both pro and micro. Nerves and stress both affect the heart.. We need you Granny!

Ok, that lumber didn't lay around long.. I went out there and got stuff together and started making one double decker. Eventually each little hoop coop 8 x 8 will hold a few hens and a roo.. But I'm giving them options.
And yes, not really straight.. I forgot to use the tape measure and 'winged' it.. I doubt the hens will mind much.

Still need to finish the west side, and put the roof on.. then do a ladder to the second story. Coop (run) still needs a door, and more chicken wire.. but it's coming along!

I just made a grooming appt for Bandit tomorrow at 10. He woke up bleeding and its tiny little seeds.
My heart is still acting up. scared. Im not going to hospital. All my babies will die .

Granny, you are more important than fish!!!. Teach Robert to care for them!

I wish hubby would let me make some of these, but he doesn't like the quonset hut style.

I love that design for the coop. My husband has challenged me to build bunk bed dog beds for our cattle dogs to sleep in. They have a huge fenced in back yard that even has a built in natural earthen swimming pool for them to play in. Since there are 5 of them, they stay in the utility room with a doggy door going to the yard and then come into the house for visits and play/treats.

He doesn't like them sleeping on the slab floor so he said with my building skills (@CapricornFarm and I were separated at birth when it comes to liking to build stuff) he told me to design and build some bunk beds for them.

I need to make up some plans up tonight and figure out if I need to have the lumber company bring out some more wood!

@Granny Hatchet ARE YOU LISTENING TO US!? Don't make me hunt you down and unleash a red headed(well I used to be)nurse you know what on you, girl! Seriously, please, you have us scared for you. Are you ok?

Bunk beds for dogs? Sounds like fun! I have an idea already!

Sigh. Waiting for the guy to show up. He's 15 minutes late. People annoy the hell out of me.
