Ahhhh, the hubby conversion...they just don't make a book for that! Took me awhile too, and am really still working on it, although he sees and loves the fruits of my/our labor!

I like your idea of describing where we live.
I read books fast like that, too. It amazes my mom that I can read a book in two days that took her two weeks....my house shows the evidence!

And I still think you should try sprouting in your toilet tank just because of your id on here!

I love that "describe your area" part. I am not well traveled. Uhhhh....Like only been out of the South 1x. Made a trip to Seattle to visit a cousin about 4 years ago. So I don't know much about this country of ours.
One of my rabbits just had babies. 1 died right after it was born and 1 just disappeared. We found it 3 days later. Apparently it fell thru one of the wires. We still have not figure out how. So watch out for that.
Loved your journal. Thanks for posting that.

Thanks to you all for the warm welcome!!!
So, do you have Coyotes in your area? I do, and they suck big time. I lost a kitten about a week ago. Adopted two, Gilligan, that was his name. Was a crazy cat much prefered the out doors. I did not like having him out but it was necessay. Especially once he started peeing on all our beds.
So last week he snuck out at about 9:30 and I could not call him in. I awoke at 11:54 to a coyote yipping, I knew he was a gonner.
So now the second little kitty is my girl. Her name is Autumn and she is a cute little calico. I WILL NOT let her outside at all now. But, last night she was climbing on my head so I put her in my laundry/mud room. It's at the end of a hall so both doors, inside and out are glass. I woke up last night to yipping. One coyote was on the back stoop and the other outside my bedrrom. They were watching Autum through the glass. I removed her from the laundry she was scared to death. They coyote went away. So needless to say with the 3 year old sleeping next to me and the cat on my legs and my 5 year old waking up 3 times last night, I need more coffee.
Ok I feel better, thanks for listening. You know I think if I get a fence is may deter the coyote but I know they can jump. We used to have a big dog, Tank. He was a rottie and the coyotes new better than to come so close to the house. Now they smell the kittys and stand at the window. What do I do?
A lady told me to have my husband pee around the perimiter ofthe property. Any other ideas?

We don't have any coyotes around here or if we do they stay away from my house. I use to have them where I lived before be we did not have much problem with the.
I am thinking gun .... that would be my first line of defense. (My Neighbors swear I must have been some type of crazed, gun totin, vermin shootin, woman in a previous life).
I have heard that the male peeing around the property will keep some animals away but not sure about coyotes.

A coyote at my door would freak me out!! A couple of years ago, one was killed on the road about a mile away from my house. Our neighbors have never mentioned any problems.
