Um, no they don’t - they’re all on the multi lane highways, city streets, and interstates. At the same time! <sigh>

I grew up in Toronto.
I now have 100 acres all to myself.
Would I ever go back? Not a chance in he11.

Sounds great Sean, the peace & quiet but I have tinnitus (ringing & noises in the ear). When it's very quiet it sounds deafening . If I put ear plugs in - I can hear my heartbeat very loud. Sometimes I hear crickets or frogs in the dead of winter

Me too! It's so loud when it's quiet. Still, I'll take all of the noises in my head over sirens, blaring horns, general road traffic and other city noises any day of the week.

I have the same thing Diva, that's why when it is quite, it's deafing! so quite it hurts my ears! I hear high pitch ringing all the time, actually it's more like a high pitch buzz. It gets so quite here sometimes I have actually heard a snake crawling about 10 feet away from me, while sitting outside and BBQing. I can't hear anything above about 8000 Hz but 3000Hz and below, I'm good!

I hear 3 different tones/pitches. 2 are very high, and I manage to tune those out for the most part. Now that I'm in the the country I hear a mid range kind of pulsating thrum. There are times it's so loud that it wakes me up. That's saying a lot considering I sleep through tornadoes and earthquakes.

Years ago, before we had kids, i had 13 dogs and i baked dog cookies. Made up my own recipe. Not sure if i could find it. Some even had cat food in them. But they had to be refiridgerated of course. Let me look.

No, i probably never wrote it down or it got lost in a move. Sorry.

That's okay! Thanks for looking. But wow, 13 dogs!? Were they pets or did you breed them?

Begonias, roses, holly bushes, wegelia, some other bushes idk what they are, boxwoods, evergreens of some sort, day lillies, geraniums, a daliah, and i am sure there are others. I can't resist a bargain plant... oh yeah, 2 apple trees and a pear tree.

Ooooo I dahlias. Someday I'll grow them. Will just have to dig the tubers up every fall.

Both. They were all house dogs, some were shown at Canadian Kennel Club shows.

Evening all

I'm going to go on a rant here, .

My Grandmother's grandmother was 100% Cherokee... Her ancestors escaped the trail of tears and found a white family willing to help them move back into society without being killed. I have a close friend that is soux and how the "government" treats them is horrendous. My DNA markers don't show any native american markers, but I view that as happenstance... The way our Native American's are treated on reservations is just deplorable... End Rant.

Anybody ever baked any dog biscuits/cookies? Thinking of trying it, just for fun, and wondering if anyone had ever tried it or had favorite recipes. I know there are some bakers here but I can't imagine dog treats are something you guys would bake. But figured I would ask. Got some new cookie sheets yesterday. I know there are recipes online but I get a little overwhelmed because there are sooo many and I never know where to start first.

I still have a cookie jar full of treats or my avatar.... Never cleaned it out after she passed.

Me too! It's so loud when it's quiet. Still, I'll take all of the noises in my head over sirens, blaring horns, general road traffic and other city noises any day of the week.

I lived in the DC metro area for 20 years... I love my peace these days.

Debby I have or soon will have pix to post... Your blueberry bars were a hit... should i post here or in the bakers thread?

 

[rjohns39]

I'm going to post here... They were fantastic....
Grand daughter looked at the platter DW put in front of her and just said thank you for the nummies...

She loved them and trew a fit when they were taken away... The whole pan is hers...
