Found a photo of Pooh, when she was 14. She almost made it to 16. ❤️

I use washing soda and borax with my laundry detergent, too. I buy Aldi's non-scented detergent, works well.

That's what is most important.

I had to ease back on the tree root removal projects, as I was getting adductor spasms. I had a THR 15 years ago and have been experiencing some symptoms that make me think it's going to need replacement in the next year. :barnie I'm still doing some digging work, just not as intense, and not...

They invited me to join a couple years ago. I think it was because I wrote lots of interesting reviews. I do have to pay income taxes on the stuff I ordered. I have gotten some real junk, like chicken waterer cups that leaked constantly, but also have received some useful stuff. I've learned...

And the freebee electric fence wire just arrived... :yesss: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0DHD7RY6D?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image

My Pooh would be told to go to her corner, by the back door, but would stalk her way into the living room where we were watching TV. We called it "elbowing" as she'd stay on her belly, using her "elbows" to move forward. Hmm. Kind of like a sheepdog. Must have been her Sheltie half surfacing.

I think you'd need two blueberry bushes, but I could be mistaken. We had about ten, two of them dwarf types, and they did well for years...until I hired an idiot to trim my yard. Despite a "don't cut these" warning he did, to the ground.

The freebee electric fence posts arrived. Not sure what they will be good for, yet. Maybe not good for anything but pea stakes?

Thank you. I was thinking either two wethers or maybe an older dry doe and a wether. I'm not interested in breeding and kids and milk at this time.

That's a good idea, re: using the dorm refrigerator for the meds. I have one stored in our shed, forgot about it.

I'm guessing it can handle hotter outside temps (and colder), being used in a garage or shed.

Strictly pets, and weed control. I read somewhere about being able to handle goats and figured smaller ones would be easier to handle as needed.

Thank you. I'll look for it. It was wrestling with the roots that probably did it to the adductor muscles. And I wasn't drinking water like I know I should. I've had some excruciating hamstring cramps, the type that makes a person break out in a cold sweat, but not recently (thank God!).

:caf Was going to sand and stain the steps today, but have been dragging, no energy. That's okay, can push myself through it...but then the leg cramps hit, bad, can't straighten up types. I must have pushed too hard yesterday. Oh well. They've eased up, so it'll be a puttering type of day...

Small ones, I am not capable of picking up an 80 pound animal.

And I started my fencing thread! https://www.backyardherds.com/threads/fuzzis-fencing-fabrication-thread.44592/

Electric fence videos: At this time I like the simplicity of the setup shown in video #4. What insights do you want to share?

But...the 4' chain link fence is not the primary fence I will use, but a secondary containment, just in case. I think I will be going with electric, temporary fencing, so I can move them to places that are being invaded by vines, weedy plants. 🐐 🐐

The backyard is mostly fenced with a 4' chain link. On the woods side (south) a couple of trees fell on the fence over 10 years ago, so I needed to get them off the fence before I can fix/replace it. Yes, there's a damaged fence under all that growth! Enter Frank and his team: The hoop...
