Actually, by order of the State of Washington I have to come back here every three months until I turn eighteen. It's once that happens you have to worry.

Just kidding. I hate the weather but this is still home.
Sorry guys... I tried to bring the sunshine but the TSA took it away from me.

No fear! JB and I have solved your problem ! As she needs to get Jet clipped, we have decided to have his fur made into a big hairy black warm coat for you !!

It is a stroke of pure Genius !!!!!!!!!!!!!

May smell like a wet dog in this wet weather though...................

But you will be warm !

I should go to bed.

It doesn't help that I am not feeling the love towards the man in the bed. He came home in a mood, and I haven't a clue what I have done. All I have learned over the years, is that it is some how all my fault. I just wish I had a clue as to what it was that I did this time. I would try changing if I knew what I was going to do, was doing, did, said, or didn't do. I have learned not to expect anything, and I am always grateful for whatever I am allowed to have.

There is so much good about most of our life together. I spend a lot of time working to be happy, helpful, and supportive. The constant negative comments, and underlying anger wearing on my soul. I know that I am different, or as some have told me just plain odd and annoying. I have taken to spending more time alone in my home, so that I am not irritating people. It's not like there is any place to go from here. I would go live under a bridge, but darn it I like living indoors. Besides it would be extremely difficult trying to take care of 6 dogs. 5 cats, all the fishes, 12 finches, and not to mention god knows how many chickens under a bridge.

All I want is a peaceful tension free home, where everyone is comfortable. After all these years one would think that it shouldn't be that hard. Some times I don't mind not knowing that I am bugging the poop out of every person in my life. Cause if you don't tell me straight up, I have no way to figure out how to change.


Well that was enough self pity. I need to suck it up, and get over it.

I think most of us deserve a peaceful, tension free home. Much easier said than done no matter how many years we've been with someone. You'd think it would get better with time, wouldn't you?
Hope the moods in your household improve and the tension lifts soon.

Good morning my Washington BYC peeps! Im feeling a bit energetic and more upbeat today than I have all week! YEAY! Ive grown SO very tired of being cranky. lol Still no Baby Emily, there are SO many people waiting on her, its rediculous! lol

Have to give feeding lessons to my step Father today. The poor horses think they are starving right now, because we are playing the waiting game. Always waiting on him. lol But it will be a big help having help feeding the horses. I can barely walk without falling down anymore. So short bursts of walking for me only. Makes me feel SO very lazy! But its better than falling and hurting myself or the babe.

Im going stir crazy with this waiting game! This weather makes me want to get outside and work! I still have some gravle to spread in the driveway, have to re-section off the pastures, spread pasture seed, fill in a couple holes in the driveway, clean the chicken coop, at some point lay more sand in the run... Oh and my yard!!! Its turned into a jungle! lol Think I will bring a horse or two into my fenced area and let them munch away!

Anyways! Hope everyone has a great day today! Enjoy what sun we have. I think its supposed to rain again soon.

Well I hope that you and I will be okay. My thermometers are reading the same as yours. I have been having trouble keeping enough water in my bator also. I tend to forget if something doesn't make noise. I have Silver Grey Dorking eggs, and turkeys in my bator. We should be hatching fairly close to each other.

Do you have multiple mometers too justbugged? I made one more adjustment this morning and I'm checking it but have to leave for work.

I kind of know how often I need to add water now so that helps and with the hygrometers in there that kind of clues me in when I need more. Will your turkeys be hatching the same time as your Dorkings? Hugs for your family issues

Ya know people keep saying that, and my buck must not be as strong as others, he has a "different" smell, but, it's not strong?? And it really isn't that noticeable till you get right up next to him?? Even at the end of breeding season he wasn't bad?? Maybe I have a weird buck??

I dunno, sounds to me like you have the GOLDEN buck!
Does he have horns? A lot of people will descent their bucks when they disbud. They use the iron to burn off the scent glands located right behind the horns. So if he's been disbudded there is a chance he was also descented.
