Annie coming home tomorrow?

yup, going after at 11am.. She has been cooped up for weeks, so I figured we would go for a fish fry at our favorite Mexican restaurant.
Today for occupational therapy , she had to make a toasted cheese sandwich. She said that was the first decent she had to eat in weeks.. she has lost about 15 pounds. I told her to stay for another 10.

IDK about the puppy mill(ish) thing.
they look to be purebreds.
I could have been considered a puppy mill when I was selling Maremma LGD's.
just because I was not associated with a large organization.
However I did have purebred , unrelated parents, and I had a useful working dog product.
I did refuse to sell to several people because of where they lived, and to one man who had the meanest dog I ever met. I didn't want any of my dogs turning into killers..
I will have to tell you the story of "Angel" someday..

I sold one of my sheltie pups to a priest. The dog saved his life by waking him up when the rectory was burning.

I've heard things myself about amish puppymills. I would insist on seeing the conditions with my own eyes at this point.

I am so sorry for your loss Jim, they always trust us to do the right thing and that's what you did.


That is beautiful Cap, is it a dresser?

I've been in a cooking frenzy lately. I made another pot of chili and one of navy bean soup and about twelve pounds of candied walnuts and pecans. Oh and just about to make a third banana bread but I think cinnamon pecan rolls sound like a great idea too.

Between losing a lot of weight and watching the Great British Baking Show, I think I know why I keep cooking.

The furniture piece is a wash stand. They used a pitcher and bowl to wash hands before running water was installed in homes. It is over 100 years old. I love it!

I have not been getting much done, it is pretty cold out. I have 2 hens sitting on eggs that are due to hatch any time. Excited to see what we get. One has all polish eggs, one has bantam eggs.

It's beautiful, it reminds me of those old fashioned tables (revolutionary era I think) that they had for making bread.

Big storm here last couple of days, it took down the pavilion. I didn't expect it to survive the winter (one of those easy put up collapsible canvas things) but DP wanted to give it a shot. The cover stayed in the yard (I'd tied it down tight) but the frame is a collapsed mess. Maybe someone collection metal will want it. No other damage to the property though and the power stayed on so I feel good.

I think I have a mild case of the flu. Feeling crummy, body aches and no appetite. Hoping I feel better tomorrow.
