Time for an update!
We are having 65-68 degree temps today, breezy and light rain. Can those of your basking in the heat feel a momentary breath of cold air? I'm sure as heck TRYING to send it your way. I have on flannel pants, slippers and a sweater. No sun.
Bunny is in the crock pot, becoming panang. Thai bunny.
:bun The boys won't eat Thai food, so oh DARN, all that will be for us. Plenty of chili left for them.
The animals all seem fine, nothing to note today, the duck is still sitting on her four eggs so that is one bit of nice progress, and the four baby bunnies are popping around like little popcorn now. Cute little fluffballs. The goats are giving less milk and soon I think I'll go to once a day, I'm thinking of starting that with Molly tomorrow possibly. The little kitten is still nameless but getting fat and sassy now like we like.
The garden is getting big, especially the potatoes and pumpkins. A slug has been getting the zucchini.
My blog is coming along slowly, I need a lesson on how to work the dang thing. Everything is going to the wrong places.
I wrote to border collie rescue today. We haven't had a foster in awhile. I was reading on their website how they cannot possibly find foster homes for them all, that 150 a year or more (in my state alone) are turned away and go to shelters currently.
Gulp. Wrong thing to say to savingdogs. My own dear-to-my-heart Anika who is the Best Dog In The World is a border collie, and once you fall in love with that white stripe down the face, you always love those white-stripe faced hyper little smart maniac dogs. So I've written them to see if it is feasible for us to help. Some groups require a financial investment such as providing medical care and we would not be a match with that, but I have a current interest in dog-herding that I'd like to explore but don't have the right dog. So it occurred to me I know exactly how to find the right dogs to practice with at no cost whatsoever, the same way I've always educated myself with dogs. I've been talking about heelers but I have much more experience to offer a border collie rescue, we already fostered a bunch so I know what I'm getting into. Actually, I like them.
Hubby doesn't know I did this.....but I actually wanted to see how their program works before bringing it up to him. At this point I think he wants to do whatever he can to keep me happy, I think my overall sadness lately has HIM down and I won't have to twist his arm too badly to go pick me up a little dog for me to save or two.
at OFG's Ti, but she is smart in her own silly little way. This dog will not allow my sons to wrestle with each other, she bites and holds the arm of the perp, and knows who is the "mad" one, every time. When they were little and I didn't know which one to punish, I would see who the dog was mad at !
