Looks like winter has returned to our area. highs in the 50's low's in the 30's for the next 10 days. At least there is no snow or ice to deal with. And I know it wont last long, we start planting early spring crops in about a month.

That's my kind of winter, Iris. It got up to about 44 here today. Tomorrow is supposed to be nicer but then winter is back. I think I saw a high of 18 on Sunday which is more January like...too much for my liking.

I think I figured out Pi's lineage. Started doing searches for border collie puppies with various breeds of dogs that I know are around us and when I hit Border Collie/Shiba Inu, I had to gasp. There is an Amish family about 2 miles from us up on the blacktop that leads to town that has a black border collie named Lady and a Sheba Inu male named Snoopy. I found pictures of puppies that look just like Pi and when I listened to what the Shiba Inu scream sounds like it was exactly how she sounded when she was out front in the road crying her little heart out.

Now why would they leave her here? They owned the local feed store and when I went to buy my chicken food, I always took a pocket full of cookies for the dogs. I bet real money that is where she came from. They got rid of her or somebody got rid of her for them. They sold the feed store over a year ago and I told DH that they knew how much I enjoyed their dogs when I was there.

Amish have different ways. I can almost hear them say how bout taking her over to Ervins old place, you know, the cabinet shop where that lady and her husband live. they love dogs there......geesh. They could have knocked on the door or called us and asked us if we wanted her. If that is where she came from at least I know she is a very sweet, good dog from good stock.

My chemo sunburned husband has been fighting with the toilet all afternoon. It decided to die a dramatic death. Blew the seal out between the tank and the toilet. Got new innards for it today while he was out but now can't get the water line hooked back in.

An outhouse is starting to sound pretty good right now.

Got cortisone shots in both knees again today. Am not quite bone on bone on right knee. But with the shots I hope to be able to walk more.

Do you get the rebound pain after those shots? I do. Not fun but at least I know that after 3 days it will feel better.

What? He delivers?

Have you seen those dried soup mixes in the stores like Bears brand name? Its like that but they send 2 different soups a month.

Never heard of rebound pain, never experienced it.

That's crazy about your puppy, @microchick. At least now you have an idea what she will grow to be, how big, etc.

@troyer sends powdered soup? How come you know this and the rest of us don't, Ms Grannyboots? Holding out on us.

Question about the Corid. I mixed up two 2-gallon buckets for our birds this morning. Do we need to pitch all that they didn't drink and make new batches in the morning?

 

[BigBlueHen53]

Also, should we direct dose ALL of them tonight, or just the two with dirty bums?

You've NEVER had rebound pain? Wow, I bet you have and just didn't know the word for it. And I am a terrible one to explain.
Not powdered more freeze dried I guess or dehydrated. And IDK why except to say I have some really good friends here and sometimes they send me gifts and I enjoy the heck out of them.
