Thanks for your input. I was really feeling concerned and defeated that he was going to suddenly become dog aggressive as he matures and I would be forced to wash him out for his own protection
It’s been an interesting trip so far, but also very challenging for Boone. I knew the long drives were going to be hard for him, but I didn’t foresee what some of our challenges would be.
It was a long, tough day for us both, getting to my cousin’s on the first leg of our journey, what with my...
Our temps don’t go below zero but I’ve had lots of lambs born when below freezing that did just fine. Although I always tried to put mamas in shed with clean straw to lamb on when I could, because it made me feel better
This is really a cool little community! Boone enjoys his nightly walks, since he’s pretty much tied to me 24/7 with no opportunities to play or explore. We shared a frozen yogurt last night. He’s definitely a fan.
It’s already 6:30. I had to get up for a minute and learned I’m a little more sore than yesterday morning but considering that past history says I should have been unable to get up yesterday shows it’s not too much. Will be helping my cousin make her first sourdough, but using only einkorn. It...
Before we left, I had found and ordered a “human/dog bed online and had it shipped to my cousins because it wouldn’t come to the Ranch on time. Got there just before we did
so we had to sleep it on last night because no one has extra bedroom or an extra bed and I didn’t want him on anyone...
Fly bags are the most vile, disgusting smelling things you will ever come across. Which, of course, is why flies like them.
@SageHill yes they do. Just look up “yellowjacket traps” on amazon
Me too, because I know absolutely nothing about mechanics, I’m a terrible driver these days and both vehicles are over 20 years old and on their last leg!
Orher than warning light for engine continually blinking, and an alarming looking triangle with a car in it followed by bacon warning me there was no traction :hide the drive was fairly uneventful. We stopped at the 30 mile mark, then the 3 hr mark, another 3 hour mark at a rest stop, all at...
Welp, grabbed the last few things (Boone’s bowl, steaks for the cooler, 8 dozen fresh eggs, my pillows and blankets) and off we went. Boone did amazing!! He didn’t seem at all stressed, and spent the first 30 miles (all dirt/gravel noisy rough road!) laying quietly in his soft crate smiling at...
I am low in B complex so hope it will help. Would that cause the dyspnea? I am going to leave tomorrow for our first leg of the trip. Dr never called back in spite of me calling the office so we won’t wait around. I will keep us down to 7 hr drives, one is 8. Looking forward to seeing...
I wound up running into Burns for an appointment with a gp. I’ve has a variety of weird symptoms the past few months that I ignored and chalked up to being a result of my crummy condition, the meds, and all my autoimmune issues. But I postponed leaving on our road trip because weather changes...
