The Evolution of Atlas: A Breeding (and Chat) Thread

I also have 7 dogs that I train, show and breed. I really want to slow down. This last weekend the heat was unbearable.

What breed? I have 5 dogs.

I started with chickens because I feed raw eggs every other day.

Those are a bit of work to show with their coat care. You don't see too many of them around either. I don't think I've ever seen one in person. I read they are nice dogs.

Wow, so many posts since I was here yesterday! I was a little sick overnight, no idea why, bad stomach pains and slightly queasy. Trying to get over it today. We had a squash casserole for supper and it has a lot of two cheeses in it, thinking that at times, I don't handle cheese in those quantities all that well.
Working on two different quilted things. The one with black is called God's Eye, the pattern is. Waiting on black thread I ordered to get here to do the actual quilting. The second one is a giant quilt block (45") that I'll put a border on, maybe with some blue in it, and then quilt as is for a couch throw/child's quilt/whatever. Can't do anything until my stomach quits cramping, though. Tom did all the barn chores this morning. I'm thankful every day that I have a husband who will take up the slack and step in when necessary to get stuff done, even if he's not feeling so great.



Hey @kitkat5505 Kara, what kind of backsplash are you/did you put in your kitchen? I'm thinking of putting in one myself. It's painted and really needs something easier to clean. I'm going toward simple subway tiles in a light green-gray color, possibly. Here is my kitchen right after the post-fire renovation.

They are very difficult dogs. Working breed , bred to guard the fishing boats, can be very protective.

I have a hen with an open wound. How do you prevent fly strike. I really don’t want to bring her in the house.

I use a product called Nustock. Very stinky - but it works great for healing.

I use bluekote for wounds.
