Hey ! I found the pills I lost, wow, that was so weird, and so was quietly freaking, but all is well.
If I get my thyroid pills on the 4th...it is all OK but on the 29th for example then I run out before the next month's issue...but picked up the stuff and alll is well.
I was worried as DH was to be gone for a week and me alone here on the mountain, no trans.
OK, I have a question for dog people, most of you are...Justbugged, Ron B., Cheryl...You know I have Jack...he is half Great Pyranees and half Australian Shepard...he is gorgeous, and gentle will the birds and yes he has befriended a few who ventured IN to his dog house to have lunch with him...

yum they love dog food~~~
And Jack is about 8 or 9 months, he has his adult teeth, and about 60 pounds.
So, my Q is: after venturing to every feed store within 50 miles...what is good dog food for this dog ?
I do not want the first 2 ingredients corn or wheat, and as DIY said, not soy as a first 2 ingredient either, also cannot afford the wild alaska salmon dog food...wowzwers on the price of that stuff...so what is a good dog food, at a decent price ?
I gotta cook dinner but will come back~~
A good question for the chicken rustler:::with that awesome dog, have you found any good dog food ?
I was wishing Patriot Farms made dog food too !

Thank you so much Chickielady! I see you're raising a couple of the breeds I'm looking for!

(Really wanting beautiful dark brown eggs, and blue eggs) I will be watching the messages here as we get closer to building our coop. I am SO looking forward to acquiring our pretty girls this spring. I appreciate the welcome!​

I have picked morels with a person of knowledge....and they were so good...yum. I never eat any wild mushrooms that I don't know...I can't tell the difference. All I know is that sauteed in butter and garlic....fantastic.

REgarding cat food: Okay, I thought someone had said something about it bad given to chickens. ....so I thought I would check.

SADIESUE Welcome to our E-ZOO. FYI when you build yer coop plan big. We were only gonna have 6 hens. Next thing I knew we had 16 so I expanded. Then somebody offered us a couple more. WE now have

25. I am thinking of expanding so they have more room but an fearful that will lead to more chickens. I also "just had to have" a couple banties. well we ended up with 6 so I just added 616 sq feet of outdoor run for them and now I am hearing look they have so much room we could get a few more.

can give ya info for that if you do.

I have to use lamb & rice dog food for my kelpie as she is allergic to wheat. I used Iams for the last 10+ years.
ingredients to Lamb/rice
Lamb Meal, Brewers Rice, Corn Meal, Ground Whole Grain Sorghum, Corn Grits, Chicken By-Product Meal, Ground Whole Grain Barley,
Chicken Fat (preserved with mixed Tocopherols, a source of Vitamin E), Dried Beet Pulp, Chicken Flavor, Dried Egg Product, Potassium Chloride,
