I didn't take any offense at all to your post. I understand people view different animals differently. It makes me very sad that you have had terrible experiences with dogs.So sorry... that's cool that your dog helps you find your wife. What an awesome dog!
Didn't mean any offense to dog owners here.We have a few problem dogs in our neighborhood that are not trained, yap a lot, or are not kept on leashes. They bug me. I've been attacked twice by an unleashed pit bull in my neighborhood. I developed a strong dislike (terrorizing fear) of dogs after that. The pit bull was collected by animal control after the 2nd attack, but my fear level of any off-leash dog has not decreased. The last dog that absolutely freaked me out was a dog that walked into my home and started running around and barking at me. That experience just about put me over the edge. I was in tears. The kids were in tears. Thankfully, my neighbor, who is good with dogs, came over and took it out. Turned out it was a stray that had been dumped in the neighborhood.
Now, when I'm out walking, if a dog is off-leash, I'll cross the road to get away from it. Doesn't matter what kind it is. I'm just flat-out scared of them.

After a freeze just pick all the green toms and use them for relish, pickles, etc.... I get a ton canned no matter if green or red tho I prefer ripe toms the pickles can be awesome too!
I'm sorry for your fear of dogs, but I would like to point out it is not the dogs but the owners that create these problems. As you say unleashed dogs do scare a lot of people who have had bad experiences. And that is the owners responsibility, to train, care and have a healthy happy dog that is friendly.
For some a dog is not worth the cost to feed and give them health care.... and I would rather these people do not have dogs. They do not have what is needed to have "good" dogs.
For others like me, a dog can mean independence and security as well as unconditional love and give more then they could ever cost.
I have always had and will always have dogs in my life in part due to my love for animals but also in part due to my being legally blind and deaf. If I did not have a dog with me while I slept I would not be safe since someone could come in and do what ever without me ever hearing or seeing them. (extreme tunnel vision and night blindness)
I rescue dogs that have behavioral issues and that people have mistreated/abused/neglected and tossed out.
These dogs are unstable due to not having a stable routine, clear rules and training.
I have met kids who lash out and attack others due to the same reasons so in essence I view kids and dogs in the same light.
All people and animals are in essence good but due to situations might be "bad".
The best dog I have ever had in my family was a dobbie/rott/shepard/pit/lab mix. She was the runt and weighed in at 90-100lbs. She was a Alpha personality and needed a serious owner that would not allow her to break or even bend the rules. She was a "Dangerous dog" that would let my nieces and nephews ride her like a horse, sleep on her, pull her tail and ears, and in general maul her while playing. She would also give her life protecting the family and proved it when someone tried to break into my apartment, and later my house, when someone "snuck" up behind me when I was walking and reached from me (still have no idea what that was about since she growled and he suddenly left) she protected the kids when their dad was drunk and in a PO'd mood by staying between him and the kids until he calmed down and just kept us all safe while she was alive.
For me personally dogs will always have a home with me if needed, even if I have to eat ramen and potatoes so they have what they need.
Just like kids will always have a place to sleep, food to eat, meds if needed before I do. (I've hosted a couple of "throw away" teens until they got stable and in a home that cared for them)
Sometimes I never see the changes but have heard from a couple in the past where the dog/kid got it together and became productive and I hope what I helped with started/helped that change from "bad" to "good".
This is all just my personal opinion and perspective and I understand those who do not see it same.
Peace and love to all those you touch will make ripples in the lives around you.
So are them girls gettin kid proofedWhen we were showing goats that is how many a young goat learned to lead. Hand it to one of the kids and let em go have fun.
And yes, yes they are. They are pretty familiar with my daughter. LOL. I was able to easily get the little black one last night but the blue was still not havin any of me. That's ok though. I will be down there tomorrow for awhile turning the shavings to help dry everything out and what not so they will get some more of me then...whether they like it or not.
I managed to build myself a cage for a bunch of little bunnies yesterday evening. I got to looking at things that are just laying around the house, and I found an old mini greenhouse. I was able to use the 4 shelves to create the 4 walls of the pen. Then I used some hardware wire, that I bought to line the bird cages with, and created a raised floor to keep them out of their own poo poo.
My new cage seems to working rather well if I don't say so myself.
It looks pro to me, very nice and lucky buns!
There are roofing tacks that have the same washer on themAs the fasteners,,they are for putting on tin roofing. They should be cheaper than the fastener you can drill the hole or just drive the tacks like a nail. If you have never used them before drill the holes, if you do not drill the hole and hit it with the hammer it may crack.
You want to get roofing screws not tacks. the plastic will crack and split if tacks are used. pilot a hole with the drill and screw in the roofing screws. this also makes it easy to unscrew and move/exchange/replace panels if needed.
I LOVE this post. Bless you for the work you have done with both animal and human beings!!!!! You are inspiring!!
Thank you
So Rain is there anything I should know about incubating Quail? I ended up with 2 dozen quail eggs from the auction last Saturday. I have them in the bator, as of Saturday night. It occurs to me that I really don't know how long it takes to incubate quails.
