I have rabbit,jenny,who bites me every chance she has. I keep her for her poop.Don't need to compost rabbit poo.

Radish sprouts are nice and spicey.Alfalfa is good.Broccoli sprouts kind of smell but ofcourse are goods for you! I even liked the sweetness of wheat sprouts.

It is 2 degree.I wonder if my hens will lay today. I have no idea on the temp in the house(furnace broke yesterday),but my house hen only lays every other day anyway.

I keep my dogs for security too!

Get your donation receipts and save them! I always thought it was too much of a hassle. I did it in 2010. My fiance is working on tax stuff so I added them up and gave him an itemized list.

$508. :woot

I hope that makes a little dent in our taxes. :)

The rabbit is my baby, no effing way would she be food production (aside from that, she's from a rescue and spayed.) I buy her high quality hay & digestive supps as she's chinchilla furred and I don't want unncessary hairball surgeries. The horse is mine for life, not going to dump a 20 year old animal.
It's all in how you say it sweetie! The rats are to produce snake food to save $20/month. The rabbit is to produce manure. The horse is therapeutic. :D

Now everyong is earning its keep! :gig

What am I doing right now? Waiting for the grocery store circulars in the Saturday mail. Somehow this is the high point of my week. :rolleyes: Can'ts wait to get my hands on them and find out what the loss leaders are for next week and see what I'll stock up, how much of a discount I can get. Can I beat 37% off?

:weee

My fiance wrote on the grocery list "pancake mix (recipe?)"

:woot I think my homemade pizza making is starting to have an effect.

Now to find a fluffy, fluffy pancake recipe! Any ideas?

I'm also applying for a job. I'm assuming I will get it. I am VERY qualified for the position and they've expressed interest in hiring me before. Just gotta get the details and make sure I have child care.

Fluffy Pancakes

2 cups self rising flour

1/2 cup water

easy peasy!

add cinnamon if you like. add fruit if you like. for extra fluff you can add another egg if you wish.

Ohh what job?
It's a kennel position at a dog breeding kennel. Also looking for training help. I happen to have experience working in a similar breeding kennel for the same breed of dog AND experience training in the 2 specific areas they train im.

Plus they have a grooming salon - I am a competent groomer. One area of their manufacturing is sewing - I have experience with commercial sewing using industrial machines.

And.... the first time I went their to buy dog food, they wanted to hire me even though they had no positions available. :D

I have to go buy dog food tomorrow anyway, so I'm bringing my resume in. My resume is perfectly tailored for a job like this.

It won't pay alot, but I'm only wanting $450 after paying childcare. Anything over that would make me happy.
