Thanks for the warm welcome! I live in South Georgia. I hope that you are dry there in Missouri, have friends there in the hills and even there were flooded. I have a feed storage shed on the side of our modest coop and I have a chair there and can sit and watch the chickens while out of the sun or rain or whatever. Now all I need is an air conditioner and a stereo, and a better chair!
I also have two chihuahuas, two mousing/mole eating cats and one hyperactive insane bulldog mix who is my swimming partner. I see i'm not the only chihuahua person here!!
