They are not hard to do. I have a lot of fun doing them.

caught another opossum last night.
our husky mix pups were stolen from the yard, and we had to rehome the rott he always growled at my grandson. so we found him an older gentleman without any young grandkids. we still get to see him once in a while.
we have 2 young pit bulls. but 1 is special needs. I picked beast out when he was 8 hours old. at 4 weeks I was informed that he had swimmer puppy syndrome. and all the other puppies were spoken for. so a few weeks later we found max who is a blue and white pit bull. then when beast was 12weeks old the breeder called and said he was up and walking if I wanted him just come and get him. so we did. I noticed right away that he walked and peed at the same time. but about a week later we noticed an odd curve in his spine. we took him to the vet and his ribs are deformed from the swimmer puppy syndrome, they cant stand so their ribs go out to the side instead of down like they should. and because of that he has a deviation in his spine. because of the deviation, he cant hold his urine or bowels. we tried belly bands but he wont leave them on. so the vet recommended he live outside as he is getting bigger and his pee is now rivers and lakes and it is ruining my hardwood floors. his back legs are starting to hurt and we don't know how long we will be able to keep him comfortable so he and max are in n outside pen for now (that we keep locked) he goes nuts when we bring max back in. time will only tell how long we have with him. I still have my little Chihuahua that we had ride on the truck with us.

we plan to keep him as happy and comfortable as long as we can. we have noticed him walking with stiff back legs lately. we have another vet appointment next month.
we caught another opossum last night. this one has a huge pouch full of babies. we may take her to the huge state park as the babies look almost big enough to survive on their own. they wont be a threat to peoples livestock there.

when we came off the road the weeds had taken over. they were over 8ft tall! we had mower paths everywhere. I have been fighting the weeds all this year to get the yard back. you couldn't even see the fruit trees I had planted 3 years ago. I have to pull the horseweeds, then rake the rest to make sure nothing has blown into the yard then mow,
until the grass got too tall then we had to add a step of weed eating then mowing.

we traveled I-80 all the way across Iowa at least 4 times a week. we never were able to stop and site see though. always on the run and you just drive a semi up to most places. there are so many places I would love to go back and see.
I hope to add apple trees next year. total we have 5 pear, 2 cherry, and a peach. I hope to clear a spot on the edge of the woods and add raspberry. maybe even put in a strawberry bed. next year we should have a garden.
