    Baby pigs $40?

    Deb Thanks for the info. I agree with the companionship thing but wonder how much more work will 2 pigs be. Any advice on boys or girls or 1 of each? We have electric fence for the horses so we could do that for pigs. The perimeter fence is chain link. We live in south florida, $40...

    Baby pigs $40?

    I saw a sign on the way home for baby pigs @ $40 each, was wondering is that a good price? What to look for, and do pigs get lonely if they are by themselves? Can you raise a single pig? To eat of coarse, not as a pet?

    Christmas fabric / scraps - RECEIVED. Thanks!

    Tortoise, are you still looking? I have 8 different fabrics, also some fake fur (white), and 1/4 inch ribbon that you could use to make drawstring closures for some bags. Five of the fabrics are at least 2 yards. How do I send this to you?

    Tortoise has a good point, cleaning every day can increase the inflamation. I've worked as a vet tech for 20 years.

    Cat congested -- very sick -- UPDATE -- she is improving, I think!

    I'm so glad to hear your kitty is better, I wish I had seen this post before and could have told you an old time vet told me NEVER to give cats garlic as it is toxic to them. He was my horse vet when I was a kid and 80 years old and still there when I needed him. I trust everything he ever...

    Free and better for you and the environment!

    I just went outside to check the fire in the BBQ grill, and was reminded that we no longer use lighter fluid to start the fire or even worse use those brickettes with the lighter stuff in them. We have many pine tress on our property and I have found the best use for them! We put a couple of...
