Surviving Minnesota!

I send this because I may loose this and then there is too much trouble in rewriting it.

So, beginning on Saturday (tomorrow) I am going to start the weekly review. IF you have been unable to participate in the SMFW for a time you will get updated and then join in, informed, again. Is that okay with you BC? After all - you did us the favor of beginning this forum.
 
Once you have read the SMFW weekly update - please add what you deem to make it more complete. Okay? I will miss stuff (try not to) and you will add stuff. Yippee. I like that.

As always, can't wait to hear your story Ralphie. Of course I am concerned as we all are after that lead in.

And Jerryse - glad the sun is shining in your area. It is here also and will be a lovely day.

I got the hospital coop set into place and now will clean up that garden. I am not doing any of this IF I have to move to Aitkin. I wonder IF I will even do chickens. At 2.00 or 2.50 a dozen it is alot cheaper to purchase them from the farmers in the area. But that is tomorrow, not today. And I think called - 'getting older.'
 
Sounds good Ivie: If a summary gets missed please do not feel pressure about it as I live north of the Banana Belt and things are less structured and blase around here. No worries GF.

I'm in search of a good person who wants to take my dog to the vet for future visits. I'm thinking that DH did not get the memo that he had to take her from now on as he took off to the Rainy River today.

She growled at Doc and I'm embarrassed. And because he is one helluva vet I got the lecture on nipping this in the bud. He says she is a good dog but a dominant. She is not really afraid of anybody just a dominant. And for this dog: DH, Me, DD, DS all need to take turns feeding her making her stay before giving her permission to eat. We exit and enter before she does. Everything. She needs to be held down by each of us probably every day, touching feeling her feet and toes. Just everything to keep her knocked down 4 pegs. She needs to be level 5. Not 2 or 3 or 4th in the family. She needs to be 5th. I know all of this. I watch NatGeo and the Dog Whisperer. The problem really is kids. Sorry to say. And lack of time. Which is the excuse for everything.
She also played her little game of chase the car while in a car. in which she kareens off of car seats with some sort of labrador ease and growling and barking the whole time. A couple times I got her in the front seat with me and made her sit and/or remember to hold her collar when a car passed. But the vet is 45 minutes one way and she had her way for a ways of the trip.

Have you already heard me say that I won't take care of dogs any more? I'm pretty sure I've informed the family of this. I won't get any more dogs and I wont feed or take care of them, vet them. It's up to the people I live with. Done. Cooked.

Ralphie Sounds like a fun night. Have a good nap today.

I wish I was doing stuff outside of my house today. Basketball banquet for DD. I thought that was done the basketball season. I guess not quite yet.
 
Morning all!
I am waiting patiently to hear what happened to you ralphie

I'm sure we don't need to worry too much because we know you are alive! But I'm sure we are all concerned and a little intrigued.....ok I will shut up and wait until you are done with your nap.
 
DD is sick now. Need to go pick her up from school after her math test at 1:00. Maybe no BB banquet tonight. Feelings are not hurt about this...but hers might be. I think she really wants to go.
DS stayed home yesterday. He needed that. Much better today. Naughty little cold viruses.
 
I now have my 55 chicks in today, only one died during transit. I had thought that my mom bought 50 but she ordered 55 because she wanted another breed not on my order list. I got 4 Barred Rocks, 5 Delaware, 10 Rhode Island White, 5 Welsummers, 10 Blue Wyandottes, and many other breeds that I cannot remember right now because I don't have the box in front of me. I will fill you guys in more as time goes on.
 
Got a load of gravel today . So I have been moving it around . Maybe I can get feed where needed now . Plus some on the trail into the woods and up the hill . Needed this for awhile . I need to add more often than I do . Ralphie we await details .
