Shaws do you have a link or something if we can donate? May not be much but...I'd like to help. Camps can be awesome for kids.

Peach had a few bites of kibble YAY! I'm still making her some chicken rice and broth though for a "delayed" dinner tonight. (She usually eats around six, it's five thirty now...) worse comes to worse I can freeze the mixtures....keep em handy for next time. Add a scoop of pumpkin purée and done.

So very unsure what to do with work. Was fully planning on quitting before thanksgiving so I could spend it with friends/the family we choose...(seriously a bunch of em are beyond just friends....)
Hubs still has a gazillion projects on the go so I was thinking I should keep it...help fund them or fund us food when he's rather silly with budgeting

Then I find out we're open Thursday...and Black Friday starts Thursday afternoon and nobody can have any days off that weekend.

Crap.

Such a hard decision. "silly with budgeting" been there done that! Like my g-ma said, If it has tires or testicles it will eventually give you trouble. Do what your heart tells you.

You can go the "roughing it" route -- I've never had a wired coop (here or in Idaho), so heated anything was out of the question. I've always just used the black rubber tubs (always had them around anyway for feeding horses and other livestock) and carried fresh water out 2-3 times a day. The birds adjust pretty quickly and learn that when water arrives it's time to drink up and using warm water can stretch the time before it freezes over. We just use empty gallon jugs since there's no point in taking a bunch of water that they won't drink before it freezes. The rubber tubs are great because when you go out and find it has frozen through you just drop it on the ground to break the ice out and the pan itself has enough give that it never breaks. Alternatively you keep two waterers for each water station and rotate them into the house for thawing/filling so that you are taking out one fresh waterer and trading it for the frozen one. I keep a short "winter hose" in the house during the winter that I can connect to fill the horse trough and then unhook, drain and put back inside. If/when this gets forgotten (ie kids) or it's just too **** cold to be messing with the outside faucet I have a 50 foot length of tubing with a faucet adapter on it that I use for filling fish tanks - it reaches from the sink to the trough.

No worries granny! ! I know, lotta $, but...if it's a great fit, that's nothing for a perfect fit for the next 14 years! I know it's hard to come up with, but...
