Had a really good happy day. All three girls sang Happy Birthday to me. (67) Rain was so bad we stayed close to home. I can see spring coming. Hurry, Hurry.

I think she was saying that she had her asparagus in a barrel to keep it alive and growing while she searched for the perfect spot, not that she intended to bring it in for the winter so it could survive. Asparagus planted in the ground can survive pretty harsh weather. I lived in Minnesota for a while and had asparagus growing there. Let me tell you, Minnesota is COLD!Maybe where you live? It takes three years to just get a crop from it and though it comes back every year you have to bring it indoors so it won't die in the winter? That won't work around here. We don't do things that need coddling and nursing along...life is too short for that.Too much time and thought invested for too little reward.
One of the problems associated to shooting a dog and only hurting it is the owners forcing you to pay the vet bill. I would only shoot to kill.
Instead of relying on Big Brother, just take care of the situation. Big Brother is already too big.
Ok, I've tried and tried. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out TPTB. Could you explain it to this semi brain-dead person please?
We are in a farm zone and had to get rid of one of our best dogs because he barked. He BARKED. In our own yard. Yep, that was all it took for animal control to tell us THEY would shoot the dog for us if we didn't fix the problem ourselves. I was a kid at the time, and my parents wouldn't turn the dog into an indoor dog, so the dog got retired to a friend's farm where he was pampered and supervised. Lucky dog.
With Gust I've had a bit of a problem persuading TPTB that this dog needs supervision & training. I've trained him to stick by me and "help" me with chores and we have a potty ritual he adores, but TPTB refuse to follow the formula and have had to take Gust to the vet because he ran off and ate the wrong thing. Gust is a Lab ... he is the best eater ever. But show Gust the treat pouch you've loaded up take with you on your way out the door, toss his frisbee once before you get started working, correctly pronounce a few specific sounds, and you will have Gust's complete attention for however long you like -- Labs are also good service dogs. Don't, and Gust runs off to find his own "treats" ... because that's what you've trained him to do.
It's weird how resistant TPTB are to pronouncing the commands right ... I'm all like, "Gust hasn't read the Thesaurus. Yet."
The mind boggles ... TWICE!
