Well she grew up with Aussies & had the one she grew up with till a few days after her 1st one was born. She had to put her long time friend to sleep as she had a huge tumor in her gut, felt like a baseball in her gut. Was very sad. Anyway, she was professional handling for friends, Samoyed & Newfi's mostly. She showed a German Shepherd a couple of times & showed our Cocker a few times. Back in 02' - 03' she was showing our Parson Russell Terrier. They now have a photo business. They do a lot of weddings, senior pictures etc. Their business is really taking off.

Euthanasia is always a terribly rough decision to make. The cat I let go when I was 13 and the two old dogs I had euth. 5yrs ago (they left 8m apart from each other) still cause tears out of the blue.
How cool that she was able to have all that experience and now start a great career! I once thought I was going to show dogs and started training for it, but the "tutoring" I was getting I felt was leading nowhere so I moved on. I enjoyed 6yrs working as veterinary assistant instead. Loved the type of work (minus assisting with euthanasias), hated the varying and long hours!
Love all the above mentioned breeds, especially Newfies!!! I also have a Cocker. She is a brown and tan and is the friendliest little thing!

Now I will be scared every time I get a head ache, which is not very often.

I know. My first thought when I read that was that I had a head ache all week from my concussion. Hopefully all is fine, though, because I did have C-Scan. Today is the first day it hasn't been just killing me. I'm hoping I'm finally on the mend.

So, I just explained the run design to DH. He asked me if I was sure I didn't want to add cable to it, too.

Don't laugh, we have both power & a cable line to ours so DH has hooked up lights, on timers, and heat lamps if need be, and the cable is for the web cam so we can spy.

Ugh rain. I just want to get in bed in my jammies, eat soup and watch old movies today. I really don't feel like doing anything outside in the cold and wet. Did what I had to do this morning out there (clean the coop, feed and water, measure some stuff) and came back in.

Hallerlake - your scale restoration is GORGEOUS. Congrats on a great find and a wonderful job!

4312 - I can't even begin to tell you how sorry I am about the awful week you've had. And yet you keep going because what other choice is there? Hugs to you - wishing you the strength you need to persevere.

To all of you with chicks or chickens suffering with mystery illnesses - hope they all recover - I admire all you're doing for them to get them well.

CL - an amazing amount of work to build your house, but I just know it's going to be wonderful!

Hope everyone else is well - I'm wishing for some real summer weather - don't need it hot, just more 70 something, clear days. Is that so much to ask?

Yay! My solar powered automatic chicken door is out for delivery today.

We asked multiple neighbors if they'd be willing to walk over and open the door to the run for a little while each day while we went camping. We offered to pay them. Not a single neighbor would do it. So, we decided to just bite the bullet and order an automatic chicken door so we won't have to rely on neighbors at all.

My husband thinks his family members will be willing to swing by and check on the chickens once each day. Since most of them raise animals, and some even raise chickens, I'm hoping he's right.

No one will need to feed them - the feeder is really large - almost too large for three chickens. They don't have water them because we have a nipple system attached to a large bucket. They should be OK just being peeked in on.

Anyhoo... at least my chickens will be able to get into the run each day.

I'm so glad chickendoors.com has quick shipping.

Its on the top of my list to be my next purchase.
We dont have a run, just a house that goes into the yard so I dont like them left in too long. Im looking forward to having it, just so I can sleep in

Hello pretty babies! So who did you finally find your chocolates from locally? Since I picked up my English blues 6 weeks ago I'm good for Orps, but I do think the chocolates are very nice!

Nice, lucky you. So are two brown and one black? Hope so
