What is your dream job?

That's good! I am happy you are happy!

Thanks. I had a great time while it lasted. It was so fun helping people with their dog problems! I know I saved a lot of lives.

People should definitely do what's important to them, while they can. Life doesn't last forever. You don't want to be 60 or 70 years old, all crippled up with arthritis and saying, Gee, I sure wish I had .... when I had the chance. Go for it. Even if you can't do it full time. When I was a kid I thought I wanted to be a veterinarian but I didn't get the chance. I'm so glad now I worked with animals the way I did. I didn't do surgeries, I worked with them when they were awake. So much better! If you can't do what you want, do what you can! It might be even better!

Definitely! I love and totally agree with what you are saying! Do you have any chickens right now?

I do. DH and I currently have 9 BA hatched this past March, 9 EE and 5 Brown Leghorn hens from the previous March, a BJG cockerel from this past March and about a 2-yo mutt roo. Total 25. We are getting a grand total of 2 eggs a day from this mess right now, lol! Going to try to figure out supplemental lighting though, this is ridiculous!

That is great! Do you breed them? That is an awesome mix! 2 eggs a day? What? That is ridiculous as you said! How cold is it where you are?

 

[BigBlueHen53]

No I don't breed or hatch. I got the BA from Cackle hatchery. But don't let me hijack your thread, lol!

Today it was 22F. It's been pretty nice but the days are short.

Oh, cool! No, it is fine, this is what I wanted and expected to happen (going more in depth in job conversations.)

Other -- I love the thought of becoming a nurse, and am pursuing it as a career.
I still have a tiny dream of being a chef, too -- specifically, running a cafe that does catering and serves sweets desserts, cozy drinks, and candy -- but that's not really something that I could do.

Ooooh, sounds fun!
