I forgot to mention 3 of my Gpigs popped. They are all so cute!

Oh my goodness! You are such an enabler. I know which 2 I want! I loved having guinea pigs... maybe some day.

Oh she is. We've been working on her being off lease. She likes to play and some of the cats think she's too energetic so they run and she chases and she doesn't get along with my outside dog. She hates him. So that's fun.

If you can walk both dogs together, leashed of course, off the property (neutral territory) she might get a different view of him.

@AlleysChicks I know the feeling. We rescued 5 cattle dog pups from a puppy mill a year and a half ago. Wonderful dogs who love to squabble with one another and with our other two older dogs. I feel like a referee half the time. The ACDs don't seem to hurt one another too much but when the older Jack Russell Border Collie mix and her brother a Walker Coon Hound Border Collie mix get involved the fur really flies so it's keeping everyone in their own areas and keeping the cats out of the young dogs' reach as our cats are idiots.

And one of them is named Gemini, Gem for short or 'Jimmy'. Who acts as though he is a total idiot but is the only one who hasn't gotten into a fight with the dogs....meaning he is smarter than all the other animals combined, LOL

Your Gemini is beautiful, BTW. Is she a Border Collie?

Also, walk both of them with prong collars on them. I just bought two with padded prongs for our 5 heathens. After about a half a minute of them throwing a hissy fit, they realize that the collar isn't going to kill them, doesn't really hurt and if they just relax, Whow! They get to go for a walk in the timber!

So far we have three of our ACDs broke to leash and this time last year they would go into a blind panic on a leash with a regular collar. The other two are being evasive when we get the leash and collar out to work them. Whoever shows up first gets to go for a walk. Two hide, the other 3 are all for it!

Deb the snake wrangler! If you get tired of Virginia, you can always head back to Florida and catch pythons!

I heard they pay well for those, especially if they are big! But you would need a helper in case a snake tries to squeeze you.

I am a big fan of prong collars. Some people don't understand them and give you evil looks. I have heard some say, would you want that around your neck? Well, no, but my neck is not a dog neck with fewer sensory nerves.
But it allowed my very dominant big dog to respect the leash and go for walks calmly without issue. To me, that was worth a few judgemental looks.

She mostly ignores snakes.

So the dogs were barking at something today, turns out it was my albino Lionhead buck. How it got out of the cage, idk. I had a time catching it, luckily he can't see well. He got his hair trimmed and nails cut, back to the cage.

Just got back from my youngest daughter and her boyfriend's house. He fixed a roast for supper in honor of her 30th birthday. He's a pretty good cook. She thinks she's ancient now because she's no longer in her 20's. I have another daughter's birthday coming up later in the month. She'll be 51.
