I usually shop once a week. I Make a list of what we are going to eat that week, write a shopping list and stick to it. If I see any bargins I will alter my list accordingly, but sales and bargins in Belize are very few and far between. If I am making a curry or casserole, I will also make...

Ww had solar fitted, got all the stuff shipped over from the US and our electrican wired it all up for us. We have a back up generator, (we are totally off grid), and have been using solar for about 18months now. It is a big learning curve and you do get teething problems, not with the...

Moon planting is something I have looked at briefly, but not yet had much time to get into it fully. However, we have lots of brush and trees on our land, the trees we sometimes cut for fence posts, now according to the locals here, you should always cut trees 3 days before through 3 days after...

We have:- 4 goats - Pepper, Poppy, Polly and Rambo the buck 2 dogs - George and Max 3 cats - Dusk, Dawn and Tigger 41 Hens - all red sex links (production reds) not sure what you call them, and they don't have names, all different ages, only 11 at laying stage at the moment. Possibly rabbits...

I have heard that Vitamin C is good, but don't know. only something I have heard.

Oh real Devonshire clotted cream, one of the things I miss. The jam must go under the cream. Be a bit messy on top. But let them fight about it, keeps them out of other mischief. Nothing like a quiet Sunday afternoon out of "Grockle" season, sat up on Dartmoor with the ponies having a lovely...

Krzybo, yes I am sure you are doing the right thing, what works for one dog, doesn't mean it will work for all. We are into day 2 of raw feeding, George seems to be adapting quite well. Max who always has been a picky eater, is eating some but not much, when I let the chickens out today, she...

What make you think she is allergic to chicken, both our dogs who have been on dry food, always had meat with it, albeit cooked meat, and in the main it was chicken. They of course did get a selection of meat, but mostly chicken. I would be inclined to think it's the dry food causing the...

Hattie, nice to see another Brit on here. :frow I am in Belize now (Central America). Born in Lancashire, lived in Devon for 9 years prior to moving here. I was gonna post something about pasties being from Cornwall, although there is a Devon pastie as well, can't remeber the difference...

Vets probably won't, it would seem that a lot of funding is done by pet food manufacturers to veterinary school.:smack I have just fed our dogs their first raw meal, they looked at us a little stange (what is this), but George finished all his, and Max ate about half. They will not get...

It is nice to be in shorts and t shirts most of the year,:gig we got down to 52 for a couple of days after Christmas, wow was that cold. :hide At the moment it is about 85/86 but the humidity is a stinker. Its really nice though when lots of places seem to be freezing. We have only been here...

I bought 4 goats about 6 months ago, thought I had done my research, ours are for clearing brush, increasing herd and meat, not dairy goats. Yes as previously mentioned they will find all the weak points in the fences, and this six months has been very hard work. But I must say that is my...

Well today is the day for changing our dogs over to raw food. George had stomach upsets again yesterday. Don't know if its the dry food or not, but he has had quite a few funny tummies recently. I've being doing a lot of research and I feel now is the time to make the switch, it's...

HI ohifarmgirl, Really good to know your goat pulled through and is in the clear. My part of the world, is very hot and sticky at the moment.

I just tried our dogs with a piece of raw meat to see what the reation was, George licked it, dropped it, licked it again then decided yummy, and ate it. Max just dropped it on the floor, and I couldn't coax her to eat it, ha I remember Max doesn't like large pieces, I cut it into small pieces...

Really nice to hear your goat is OK.

Freemotion, thanks for that information. I think I will certainly switch over slowly with the dogs, both are perhaps a little overweight, and Geroge always seems hungry, I'm sure that its' the dog chow. Max is already on cod liver oil and glucosomine (sp)?, and i did read somewhere on the...

I have two large dogs, a Rotweiler/German Shepherd Cross and a German Shepherd/Bullmastif cross. George the Rotweiler is healthy. Max the Bullmastif/Shepherd Cross, well lets just say, if we hadn't given her a home, she wouldn't be alive now. She is 3 years old in July this year, and even has...

I have a ginger tabby cat and a black cat called dusk and dawn. I also have a grey tabby, but he's just called tigger. Didn't seem right to miss him out of this post.:D

I am new to chickens, have 12 chicks now about 8 weeks old and getting bigger all the time. these are layers. My supplier sold them as hens and I am sure they are. I am just curious as to how you tell by just looking at the pictures. What is it you look for?
