I wish that was the case, I am just uncomfortable in good clothes, be it wedding or funeral,,,,,darn it I want my jeans, or even better yet my sweatpants and a normal pair of shoes...

Dressing up is over-rated. I'm a jeans and tshirt and sneakers girl!! Last time I wore a dress and high heels was at my wedding 18 years ago! I don't even like to wear make-up.

Gotta agree totally! I love the new fleece pants that are out now... we call them 'comfy pants'... a pair of them with a tank top (warm weather) or a sweatshirt (cold weather) and I am set!

So I don't need to keep dressing up when I come but the farm?
(actually, I clean up well, just don't like doing it)

I'm so sorry everyone is having animal issues! I really worth there was something Ewe could do to help.
All I can say is feel free to vent!

Fswngrivechad - long time no see! That rescue dog I got last year is so energetic and loving! So glad we found each other!

just wanted to say, when I am at work in a grease pit (my view of the place, actually a bakery)...I am in jeans and t shirt....when home I am in chicken tending clothes........I am now in good clothes to go to a funeral and I am sweaty and uncomfortable,,,,,,,maybe I really am a country hick...

Well Wing:

Funerals tend to be a bit stressful....hope things go well....

That's always an issue for me too. But I look at it this way, if this person actually knows the real me then they are not going to be offended if I show up at their funeral in what is "dressed up" for me. My legs & ankles can't handle heels, so my tennis shoes or sandals will have to do. I occasionally wear skirts, but if it's cold or rainy you can forget that too. I'll be wearing pants. I have a few nice shirts, so that's not an issue, but I draw the line at bothering with make up. Chances are these people wouldn't recognize me with it on anyway & it's just gonna get messed up when I cry anyway. I want the last time I see someone to be as close to the way they knew me & they be the way I knew them if possible.

okay all................families and relationships are all very unique.............and I rarely try to resolve them with a group of people online............however


I will say that when people you care about...............who have gone to bat for you and pulled you out of tough times ............loaned money in tight times and

helped you out in many ways................when these kinds of people...........act weirdly.........its never an easy decision


also I am a renter...........not a home owner or property owner

I also share the property with another..................

so there are some considerations...................


if this was MY HOME and MY PROPERTY.................then it would not matter...........I could do what I want................and in so many ways I do................but this is

someone else's property and rental income that they feel is being threatened................although I think that is not the case..................its not really up to me.................

so darn it............I am up a creek with no paddle on this one

if I really want to do what I want I gotta have my own place and not owe anyone anything........................then I have free choice.....................

all this over 4 little adorable fluffy chicks? UGH

but so it is...................


hopefully I will learn from this....................

either get busier to be a home owner............or
be a better persuader?--------my plan was not that great........maybe-----------------it was bring in the fluff balls and pray for fall in love effect to kick in...............I think the surprise factor backfired on me!

or just learn to cope with it and enjoy the hens I have for now..............

I still have all the veggie and fruit gardening work to do................so its not like I will be idle.................maybe this will earn me some points in the future for further chicks...........


it still is a bummer but I am trying to be an adult ( while feeling like a kid) and do the right thing..............

You are doing the right thing, I admire you for that.

I'm so sorry for your loss! . When you are ready to try again, I would be glad to help you with some techniques to help your pooch leave them alone. We have a 5 year old excitable pitbull and we have had great success so far. I knew how you feel. Years ago my husbands Husky got my pet Cockatiel. (My fault for letting a strange dog in the house for sure though).

Thank you. We will be trying again in a couple weeks though the new ones will never replace the ones we lost. I thought we had a pretty good handle on the dogs but I guess I was wrong. I'm open to any suggestions. We have a 9 year old, prey driven Siberian husky, 10 year old mutt (maybe plott Hound/JRT), and 2 year old English Bulldog mix. I'm almost positive that the husky and plott mix are to blame as the other usually left them alone.

I try not to be too quick to say I understand someone else's feelings, but I really can identify with you now. We have animals that are dependent on us to make good decisions for them and when something bad happens how can we not feel as though it's our fault. I am still beating myself up over some losses that happened back in December. Deaths that were entirely preventable and caused directly by decisions I made. I have learned from those tragedies and so their deaths were not entirely in vain, though it is still clearly my fault that it happened.

It's tough to move on, but in the end there is no benefit to anyone, animal or people, by not doing so.

It's a very hard lesson to learn and such a cruel way to learn it. I'd have never thought that in 5 minutes something so terrible could happen. I have a very hard time moving on from stuff like this but I know I have to. Nothing will bring them back, all I can do is try again and learn from my mistakes.
