i saw that post about heat... I am not 100% sure... I have a small coop that I was going to set aside for them for them to live in once they're breeding age.. but while I have to have them separated and kept warm.. they may end up spending the winter inside the rabbit shed in the split brooder box. It's warmer in there plus I have ele in case I need a lamp.
yeah.. I've looked at several rescue sites.. and they are almost as much to rescue a dog as it is to buy from a breeder anymore.. crazy! When I'm ready for another dog, I may just do that. Yes I do have lots of dog, but 2 will not be with us much longer (one probably by winter) and a 3rd is young but has issues.. I could be down to only one dog in a short while and that is difficult for me... silly I know, but I need to have more than one dog around me. Guess I'm a pack animal but not a hoarder! LOL! Any who.. the dog has found a new family anyway so I hope its a good one and that she's well cared for.
Never an easy thing. It sounds like you have his best interest. You might be the better choice. We have power of attorney on my father in law because the other siblings do not have his best interest. Sad thing when money is more important than a human lifeWoke this morning due to shivering. Yep, to cold to sleep without a heavier blanket covering these frail old bones of mine. I believe the temperature will probably fall into the 40's before the sun finally makes a welcomed appearance. These cooler temperatures should bring the trout and salmon into the rivers where I will once again be waiting to entice them into to striking. I hate the fact that winter will soon be upon us but I am anxious to start some serious fishing. Yesterday I had the humbling experience of accompanying my old farmer friend to an attorney's office. He asked that I go with him in case the lawyer need someone to verify that he was of sound mind. I think the reality was that it was just an excuse to have me visit him. Not only was my presence not needed, after the initial introduction I was asked to step outside. What made it so humbling was my friend's declaration that I was his best and most loyal friend. I knew that he has come to depend on me but it was still touching to hear him tell someone else about my importance to him. His nephew had waged a campaign over the last few years to insure that he was the sole beneficiary of the old man's estate. Once the necessary paper work was filed his interest in his uncle well being has markedly fallen. In fact several things have occurred over the last year that have given my friend pause over his nephew's intentions. The nephew recently has started questioning his uncle about his mental state and keeps asking that he be declared guardian over his uncle in all matters. Then his financial advisor called and informed him that the nephew had made several calls to her demanding to know details about his investments. He is starting to feel as if his nephew is tired of waiting to inherit his estate and he is afraid his intent would be to have my friend placed in a nursing home. Rather than care for his mother he stuck her in one where she lasted less than six months. My friend has asked his attorney to alter his will dramatically reducing the nephews portion and having me and my son granted his power of attorney. I have advised my friend that I think the best way to handle his nephew's averous intent is to simply outlive him. While it is probably prudent to insure the nephew has no legal controls over his uncle, I would must prefer to keep my friend around for many more years. My flock reduction efforts are still underway and next week I will take a few more hens to the Nature Center. I feel bad about having to dispatch birds that have served me well for the past two years but maintaining birds that are no longer as productive isn't financially prudent. I guess perhaps I am living a double standard in that I would hate for my son's to hold me to the same standard that I hold my chickens.
nice to have friends
I am sure you and he have heard of cases were the family member has gone to the Dr. drying to get Dr. to say the person is unstable. I hope your friend doen't go through any thing like that, It is sad to not have family you can trust. I will remember him in my prayers
