I had two JRTs and their preferred method of killing skunks was one on the nose the other on the tail. Usually this happened 5 or 6 times a year. I kept baking soda, peroxide and dishsoap handy at all times. 1 cup baking soda, 1/2 cup dishsoap, 1 pint peroxide. It was the only thing I found that truly got rid of the smell. Everything else was a masking scent.


I was greatly disappointed with the plastic trombone duster. It come out with to much volume. It will be fine for dusting the coop but not for the birds. So I'll stick with my old method for appling Sevin. Just fill a cotton sock an d bounce it against the birds like a poultry powder puff. Store in a ziplock bag when not in use.

Daughter of Eve, I thought this picture was extremely appropriate to remind us of the cost of our freedom. I came home after six years of military service and went on with my life. For too many others the price of our freedom is some thing they face their entire lives. The photo certainly is a humbling reminder and thank you for posting it.

Hello everyone. How is your 4th of July going?
Anyone within a one hour drive of Lansing, MI have puppies for sale? We lost our beloved 9 yr. old Great Dane this weekend.

I am looking for just about any type of short haired mixed or pure breed. Must be a male less than 16 weeks old.
Willing to pay up to $200 for the right dog. A great dane mix would be great but would be willing to look at any. You can respond on here or send me an email. Thanks.

Sorry for your loss, Rebecky. Have you looked at petfinder? You may be able to find a rescue dane pretty close. I had a friend in the Ann Arbor area who rescued two young danes and they are great dogs!

Took a few pictures today of the turkeys. After they enjoyed a treat of oatmeal, pureed banana, and cranberry juice, it was naptime for them! They and the chickens were so adorable.

You are getting drowsy..

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz...........

Rebecky, look on Petfinder.com. I just did and there's a load of pure and mixed danes available. Some were only $150 with spay/neuter, shots, etc. Can't beat that and you save a life Good luck in your search.

Five ran away, but she got IRIS DAWN, the smallest one who I'd named after my Mom. Im so sick I could scream!!

Poor little chanty. I am glad the others managed to get away, though. Losing one is tragic enough, but losing several would have been worse. I hope the others are OK, and you find a humane solution for your problem pup.

On a happier note, I moved my araucanas to a the 'big kid brooder' with tons of room for them! They are making confused noises right now, but I am sure will settle in and have a blast with all the space!

well Im so sorry aboput it Stacy, I really liked that little bird, she was my favorite. I always tend to lean towards the underdog tho.
