Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

[BYC910]

My kids made some dog/cat blankets to donate & I was looking thru the local shelters to do animal counts, see who needs them most, etc... & I accidentally came across a hospice dog. They're hoping someone will bring her home to give her a happy place to spend the last few months (?) of her life.... I am dying here... Somebody talk me down.

Whats a little heartache bring home the dog . it won't be hard you won't grow attached , or connect with it . You won't at all when it passes . Remember how hard the ground was for the chicken grave ? This one has to be bigger .Do you really want to go through that ? SO GO GET THE DOG ALREADY YOU KNOW YOU ARE !!! But what you really need is a goat . I can fix you right up with a goat . I'm sure I can find one close to death Easier to cook than a dog .Or so I've heard .

So the thought occurred to me ,what I really need is more to do . Couple hundred chickens wasn't enough . Nooooooo I had to add ten turkeys twenty five soon to be thirty five goats . And a big as white dog that barks all night and sleeps all day eats all his foodAnd then eats the cats food too. DD don't like that at all and I get.And some how can find every dead animal within a mile of the house and wants me to see them all One day I just know he'll drag up a cow He can break a ham bone in half with his teeth I'm not sure just how big his range is , and he is very sneaky He can be right beside you before you know it . That in itself isn't bad . But if he happens to growl it is . It's one of those heart stopping growls I really like Joe And he loves his goats . Maybe a little to much . I'm think I better get him a girl friend . It's either that ,or I'm going to have some mighty funny looking goats late at night and I can't sleep . Thought I try and read a little pond logic . It always seems to put life into perspective for me . Nice to know there are others with over greased wheels . I don't get on much just trying to keep things from slipping off my plate is a full time job. Reckon I better try and sleep . Got to feed and drive sixty miles to pick up them goats in the morning . I just wish I wasn't so bored

Hey, Shad, welcome to the Pond. There is always a vacant lily pad next to mine. Be sure to dry it off before climbing onboard.



No alligators, but there is an Anaconda. I'm not certain whether or not he has returned from his summer in Massachusetts, but the Pond heater has been turned on for him.

That’s great. I’ll give it while to warm up and have a go at doggy paddling over to that lilly you mentioned.
Constrictors, I’m fine with, it’s the water moccasins I’m worried about.

Sometimes the Princess is just not fair. I told her that I had just welcomed someone to BYC who has 58 nine week old chickens in their living room. I then paced off the living room rug and told her that I was going to build a pen and raise just 10 chickens in our living room. She never said a thing - just held up her hand and made a 0 with her thumb and forefinger. That's just not right.

You're going to need a shed load of mops!

Welcome! As far as I know, no one has drowned in the Pond. It does get a bit sludgy at times when the filter clogs, but it clears up eventually.

Hello Bobbi-j. So this is where you hang out.
I see people on the boards for a couple of posts and then they vanish.
I'm wandering around finding all the hideouts.

Don't worry about the gators. . they have plenty to eat down there. The python is pretty gentle, it's just those pesky monkeys you gotta worry about.

A girlfriend of mine had her finger broken by a monkey. She was leaning out of a train window buying a drink from one of the vendors on the platform and a group of monkeys were (apparently this happens with every train that stops there) running along the roof trying to grab whatever they could get their hands on.

I really don't want chickens in the living room, but it's always fun to work at her.

Winner thread of the day - someone was plucking pin feathers from their hen because they were told that they were parasites.

My winner thread of the year is about someone with 45 years experience who is always telling people to observe their chickens who it seems has just discovered that chickens fart! Priceless. You couldn't make it up.

my kind of coffee...

I suppose you’ll be wanting soft sweet almond biscuits with that (?).

Don't fight it; you know you're going to, 'cause that's just your makeup.
