no kidding, grateful indeed. God is good.

most people say you need a patroller and a watcher and that is pretty much what the Anatolians did. don't get me wrong I loved them and they worked well for years but when it came time to add a new dog to the herd I did some studying and learned the difference between a flock dog, like the...

excellent thread bee, I've had lgd's for almost 20 years and couldn't do with them. most of those years I had Anatolian shepherds but a few years back switched to maremma's. I absolutely love the way they tend their stock by staying right with them. agree with everything you, baymule and FEM...

I hate squirrels, just sayin'. just fluffy tree rats. dstr#1 had a peach tree and the peaches all disappeared over the course of a week. she blamed the neighbor but then caught a raccoon in the tree. I laughed. and yes wannabe, boil in salted water and then dry in a med. low oven. yummm

yup, lucky you. I had a small equalizer in my nursing bag but I darn sure never wanted to use it. cut and run was always my first choice.

ya see @lcertuche there in was a big part of the problem, I didn't have unders on. just the night gown and a smile

well its been a long time since I've been here and visited with youall. I've been reading about the things you've been up to. not a lot of changes here. i'm down to 3 adult does, 1 adult buck and a couple of kids. not much of a herd anymore. three ewes and a ram. still have chickens and...

I didn't can anything yesterday or today but I froze some fresh peaches, does that count? going to be peach cobbler and some peach jam later on.

dang FEM your poor DH has been going thru heck and back and taking you with him. I sure hope the upcoming cataract surgery makes life a lot easier for him. if you lived closer we'd just trade a grandkid sized pony for a mini. I've been wanting a mini horse since I sold the last of my regular...

@Wannabefree many years ago I worked home health for a hospital and one of the places I had to go was to check on old lady who lived with her grand children who sold drugs for a living. we were sent in pairs to try an protect one another, ha. they also told us if we heard gun shots we were to...

just spent the last hour catching up with you. dang girl you've had quite the year. I'm sorry for all your dh has put you thru. i can so identify. I've found that the best revenge, if you can call it that is to learn to live well and take care of you and yours without them. and to let them...
