    23 was supposed to be better

    Yes ma'am it hurt. I keep seeing him laying beside her and the look on his face. Same look he had while he was lying on my chest. He used to sleep on a pillow beside the bed. Her side. He had started sleeping on my side, but would end up in her chair by morning. That first week after she passed...

    23 was supposed to be better

    My son hereafter known as Crash borrowed Mom's this morning car since his was in the shop. His wife called him she has a flat tire, no jack of course. So he leaves work and heads up the road to her. HE says the brakes locked up and he slid off the road. He's ok. Nobody else was involved. I'm...

So last night with him laying on my chest the Vet helped him best she could. I'm trying to figure a good spot...

    23 was supposed to be better

    My thanks to all of you for your good and kind words. Feels like early spring out today. As I pulled in the driveway a Robin was chirping away. My Dil is off today and she's made chocolate chip cookies using my wife's recipe. So soft and gooey with extra chips. Son just got home and the house is...

    2023 was going to be a good year. Back in November I ran into a former coworker. She took my new phone number to pass on to my old boss. Very next day I got a call. She tells me she needs some help and would I be interested. Would I, place I was at is closing. Gas prices what they had been and...

    Water bottles

    This is off the cheaper bottles they sell at TSC. Hung this bottle this morning. I check each bottle everytime to make sure it's not jammed. Came home found the ball stuck tight enough I had tap it with a hammer. Months will go by without this happening. But it's happened in all seasons. Any...

    Whoops! Just got accidentally pulled into rabbit raising...

    You're going to need to watch this setup closely. You'll read it on here written quite a bit " they get along until they don't". Kept a doe with mom, lack of space, full time job etc. Had to build a hutch quick. Mom kept abusing her, chase her off the food, chase her around the hutch. Really...

    Fur mites?

    Old girl finally left me. This past week she's been off her feed. Monday and Tuesday she didn't eat each much. Wednesday thru yesterday she perked up a little but still not her. It's for the best. Last winter was tough on her. That's shots from a couple years ago before I took out the divider...

    Whoops! Just got accidentally pulled into rabbit raising...

    Bodies feel warm, wiggle when you touch them, bellies don't feel empty, then you are good to go. Every answer you got above is spot on. Quit moving the nest, she doesn't want to be near it until she has to be. It's a prey thing. Check once or twice a day, do a head count, see if everybody's alive.

    Shortages

    It was 3.69 yesterday. 3.59 on Friday. Diesel was 4.76 last I looked at it. Pop explained it to me years ago. The profit margin was always low. Store owner/ service station only made a few cents off each gallon. There's only one old time gas/ service station I know of around here. His draw has...

    Deworming rabbits?

    https://riseandshinerabbitry.com/2012/06/09/medicinal-herbs-for-rabbits/ I've never had this problem but remembered reading this list. They recommend grapefruit seed extract, garlic, raw pumpkin seeds. The extract can be bought online and Google shows Walmart has several offerings. It's a long...

    Bees are just all over the pigs water barrel nozzle

    I don't know much about anything so I'm not much help but I have a question. Is it dry where you're at, not raining and could that be a convenient source of moisture. I see wasps, bumblebees at the bird bath. We had a trace of rain the other day and a bumble bee was in the rain guage. Just a...

    Fur mites?

    Thank you. I took all the loose hay, hair I could get by hand out of the hutches. Saturday I thought I'd hit them all with a propane torch kill everything. Stuff always collects in the corners where it's not easy to reach. Try and track down some ivermectin. Thanks again.
