OK I went back 5 days in an attempt to correct the incorrect info I posted. This was the only post I found that I made reference to T HI's text. Please read it carefully!

T HI texted me and ask if I would post that on Saturday night 4312 is going to be at T HI's house. T HI would like to invite all to a (BYC) meet up.
I guess if ya need more info PM me and I can give ya Toni's TEXT #. She has limited minutes for talk time.

Quote: When I QUOTE I make sure it is correct and accurate. That is a true quote. Otherwise I make note that "it was something very similar to" or such. I also expect the same when others are attempting to QUOTE me. So If anyone wishes to quote feel free but please make sure that the info is correct.

Red Reiner, I have a dog question for you.  I see that our Golden Retriever Gryffin is listed in the K9 database with all the pedigree and breeder information.  Since he's a pet quality dog, can I update his information once I register, even though I'm not his breeder?  Do pet quality dogs get to have their photos on the database even though they don't get shown?  I was saddened to see that his grandsire that I had mentioned a few posts ago, died in 2010.  He was an incredible dog.  He sure does have a lot of nice offspring, but I'm sure he can never be replaced.  He was some beautiful boy.
This is the link to Gryffin's page that I'm referring to -

Okay - now back to chicken chat!

he is a really pretty dog, probably not much to distinguish him from a pet and a showdog. lots of times, pet quality means some tiny minor flaw the breeder does not like. sometimes it just means the breeder could not keep and show them all lol. I have not used K9data before, it looks to me like you can add a picture and owner info if you registered. goldens are really nice dogs.

Look at this picture my sister posted on facebook. The man sitting down is MY DAD! He helped develop the FIRST personal computer. OMG, I never knew that. We were very young then and even when we were older at the time he died we still didn't have a computer in the house and he had been working on some other computer thing Home computers were still years away. Wow, no wonder my High School aptitude test put computer programmer at the top of the list. I remember when I shared the results of that test with him I said "no way". I could never sit in an office all day everyday. Dad never said a word. He already knew that and why he started a ranch several years before. I really miss him.

That is amazing, CGG!

Thanks. The oldest made it. The middle son got 5th at Regionals...which is great. His day was just off and he did not make the "cut" for state. Had to be in the top 4. He seems okay, he assured me that he was cool with it...he still has 2 more years (he is a sophmore)..he promised me state in at least 1 of those 2 years. Oldest won Regionals for his weight bracket 285 lbs. Very proud.

Congrats to your oldest boy! Bummer about his brother but considering he's a sophomore he did very well!
And you will be able to cheer him on at state!

DO any of you take orders? I want about 15 or so, freezer ready.

I would love to buy someone's home raised butchered birds (chickens, maybe a couple ducks, possibly turkey) too. I am not set up for processing here, or else I'd raise my own meat.

Reber Ranch in Kent gets Sicilian Buttercups in from Privett. I got one last year and find her amazingly curious.
I have gotten an email notice that chick days are coming. Reber last year posted their order list on their website.

Their list of dates and what chicks they're getting is up now.

The Grange in Issaquah also has posted their chick schedule.

Westminster Kennel club dog show starts tonight on the USA network. 5 pm and then replayed at 8 pm. Please cheer for my grand puppy the miniature pinscher CH Marlex Classic Red Glare AKA Classie. She is a daughter of a top winning dog I bred and sent to my friend Armando. Armando is showing Classie tonight and was also the recipient of Owner handler of the year award on saturday night. Minpins hardly ever achieve the status that Classie has so its pretty thrilling for me to watch her win on this level

That is very cool! Go Classie!

I'm still cranky++++, so I'm removing myself from society again.

Hope you feel much better soon, Stumpfarmer!

I'd trust a red head over a blonde and Brunette (especially black haired) anytime!!

Eeeek! Well, I've got mostly black hair, but there's some sun-bleached red ones in there, does that count?

So, anyone in the South Sound want to earn some feed money!!!??? Help out this old crippled, widder woman??? If you got a setting hen and don't mind putting a setting of my show eggs under *standard sized chicken eggs) I would LOVE to hear from you. Now, only thing, PLEASE NO ADVICE! Lord, I've posted on CL and you should SEE the "advice" I get. I JUST WANT TO PUT MY EGGS UNDER A HEN THAT IS SETTING for $3 a chick!

There was someone posting on Craigslist that they would incubate for $2 an egg, if that helps you out.
