Quote: I don't think so. If they are driving like this you need to call 911. I have called 911 to report a lady that was reading a BOOK while driving.

Quote: Yeah, I have seen some real knarely wrecks. One was a full size P/U truck vs. pedestrian at mile post 121 in January. It was very disturbing.

Quote: Please do call them. It is one way to bring awareness to their management.

Quote: I don't even want to think about that.

Love them!! We just need to find a classy sign that says something like that. We're totally not rednecks and all the signage to promote guns is always targeting rednecks!

I'm new to the whole backyard chicken thing, but I am from Washington so I thought I would stop over here and say hello.

Welcome to the thread. Feel free to ask questions, and to jump in anywhere you feel the urge.

Quote: Wow, That would be interseting to deal with. We had unwanted people on our property to!
Last night we had to men show up at our door after dark. One with a flashlight, they were asking about the house on the front of our property right off of the street. I talked to them for a few minutes and then asked them to leave. We were not to happy to find out that they had been walking around our property with out us knowing about it and had been looking into my chicken coop and everything after they had been searching the house on the front of the property.
Then today around 12 one of them came back and I really did not like that. Coming back when there is a possibilety that I was home alone or that no one was here! I got my CPL the other day and so I have been carrying which made me feel a lot better. And trust me I made sure he saw what I had. He asked questions like "are you home alone?" to which I said no my BIL is here which was a lie no one was here, then "do you have large dogs?" I said, "yes two very big dogs, great dane and mastiff and they hate strangers on our property". He then was talking about being in some sort of construction and that is why he was asking about the house (lastnight they were asking if it was for sale) but that he was not looking to buy it, as he was telling me that he carried his tools every where with him in his truck he walked over to his truck and opend the back gate (had a canopy on it) which was facing us, to so me his tools, right away I put my hand on my gun and made sure I was not in between him and his truck. He asked if we would want him to do any work on the house for us and I told him to give me his info so I could give it to DH (and the cops if need be) Then I asked him to leave, as he did DH just happend to call and the first thing I said was "hurry write this down" and gave him the license plat number. I also told him the make, moddle, color and year of the truck everything we would need for the cops, again if needed.
This was a very unsettling situation.

Okay the nasty little dogs are in their beds, and I am going to go to bed myself. TTFN

I am sure you have said before, but what kind of nastly little dogs do you have?

Heres a new picture of the Tunnel. It is now completely ready for plastic. Friday is the scheduled day as long as there is no wind. Look, theres my little Bella girl! Home safe and sound!

I am truly jeliouse, I love that green house! Nice job.
You are nicer than me. I would have let the dogs get a big greet and meet session with the guy. Years ago my rescue Komondor, back a guy out of the house, just because I wasn't happy. The guy was a carpet layer, and he come in even though I had ask him to wait until I was dressed. I had my robe on, but wasn't comfortable with a near stranger in my home, and I really wanted to have regular clothes on. I never said anything to Chuck the Komondor, but he simply seemed to know that I wasn't happy. The dog was clearly going to protect me, and the guy finally figured out that the dog was dead serious. He decided to wait outside until I was dressed. I let the guy back in and the dog didn't say another thing about it. Chuck just seemed to know the difference between what I wanted, and what I didn't want. At least the guy knew that you were packing, and would use it if necessary. I hope he got the hint and won't be back.

As for the nasty little dogs. They are Yorkies. I do love my puppies, but then there are the moments when they drive me crazy. It is a lot like living with a large group of toddlers, that will never grow out of the naughty stage. I am looking forward to getting the last three pups homes of their own. It hasn't been easy to have this many male dogs in one house. It seems that they are always hiking the their legs, while trying to out mark the other dogs.

While I do have waterproof floors now, I am still not happy with having to clean up after them over and over again. I have taken to keeping them in their crates when I have to leave the house, and at night. I still need to try the belly band idea. In order to do that I need to dig out my sewing room. I just can't seem to want to sew while things are in a mess. There are still things in the room that came from the kitchen remodel, so I need to find a different place to put that stuff.

As for the greenhouse; I agree that I am also envious of it. I really hope that CCG gets a lot of use out it.

We are a very chatty group. There is a down side though, and that is trying to keep up with all the posts.
