We quit smoking I have from like 15 to 54 but we used chantix made it worth doing and no gnawing screaming from either one of us he was out of the service before he started

I am happy to hear that chantix worked!

Yesterday, I got caught up with a good bit of housework. I vacuumed, and mopped all the floors, and picked up a lot of the kids' clutter. Either my meds, or something from when we ate out, had really torn up my stomach. It zapped what little energy I had, so I took it easy. Yesterday, I pushed myself. By 9:00 pm I was fast asleep, and slept through the night. Today, I need to dust some, and fold clothes. Not too tedious.

I hope you recover quickly! It is amazing how much longer it takes to recover from work that was seemingly easy to do in our youth.

I hope to get a couple of house repairs going this weekend

I need to collect kindling for winter. It is dry as a bone out there right now.

KDOGG, Buck is Spot's brother from a different father. Spot has Jack Russell Terrier in her, Buck has big old floppy hound ears and a hound face. He's just a sweet, goofy dog who lives to go out twice a day with me to keep guard over his 'chickie birds' If one gets out the door, he lays and blocks it's way so it doesn't get away.

@CapricornFarm are the Tolbunt's to replace the ones you lost to the predator?

Just keep your moose up there away from us @beercan. We have enough to worry about with deer and elk running around. I can just imagine how bad a car accident with a moose would be. Aren't they something like 6 foot or more at the withers
?

If I knew I was going to lose the Tolbunts I would have put more eggs in, but there are only 5. Luckily I have 2 pullets and 2 chicks about 2 weeks old. But I would like to have a bunch to choose from to keep the best.

Clue they told me at the doc's office on Tuesday that there is a GI virus going around. That and an early flu/cold. Feel better! That's an order!

I'm feeling just slightly better this morning. Still having periodic chills/muscle aches/fever and my poor arm looks like an Arnold Swartzenager transplant and feels like somebody clobbered me with a baseball bat. I have NEVER had this much of a reaction to the pneumovax or the flu vaccine.

Those of you that have had it, did you have bad side effects?

Had a good laugh this morning around 4AM. Buck usually wakes up DH at 4 in order to go out and pee. Sometimes he makes it till 5 and DH will get up then and stay up. This morning at 4, Buck woke him up. At 4:20 he was pounding on the deck door and whining to be let back in. I let him in and had no sooner got settled back to bed before I heard DH say 'Buck, knock it off!' I asked what was going on and DH told me that Buck was licking his face for him to get up. I asked why, we had just let him out and back in. DH said. He wants me to get up so he can lay in my spot-he does it every morning. He comes back in, I get up and he jumps into a nice warm bed. He's telling me it's time to get up!

I wondered why when I woke up, usually around 7, Buck was always lying on DH's side of the bed with his head on his pillow.

And people say they are dumb animals? I don't think so.

Did you try the Benadryl? Sorry your arm is so sore. The nurse just tried to give me a flu shot right out of the fridge! Nope, it can sit and warm up thank you.

He sounds like an amazing dog.

And yes, moose are HUGE!! Massive antlers too.

Sorry about the reaction and pain

But OMG!! That is hilarious!!!

Dogs are very smart. I think I’ve read most dogs are as smart as 2 year old children and some of the really smart ones like the Border Collie might be as smart as 4 year olds! They’ve been doing studies haha not sure I buy that every dog is as smart as a 2 year old, I’ve met some pretty dumb ones but I do think they are pretty smart. I know my last dog was smart as a whip and seemed to understand everything I said. Even full sentences lol

Yeah....sorry to say it didn't help much. I wish it had. My first pneumonia shot didn't do anything outside of give me a bit of a sore lump on my arm for a few days.

@KDOGG331 I've always read that dogs have the mental/emotional stability of a three year old child. Most amazingly intelligent dog I've ever seen was a border collie that if you dumped all of his toys in the center of the room and told him to go get squeaky owl, he would trot over, root through the pile until he found the asked for toy and then give it to his owner. He did that with every toy until there was one left that he had never seen before. They told him to go get the pumpkin and sure enough, he trotted over and picked up the stuffed pumpkin and returned with it. Now did he recognize a pumpkin or that there was one toy left over so it had to be that one? Either way pretty impressive.
