If you're already add on...I say definitely add on a 'critter room'! That's an AWESOME idea! Either tile that room...or use sheet vinyl too...less mess/easier to mop up! I'd LOVE to do that at our place - but then I'd end up with ALL the critters in the critter room!

We had a laundry room that had a smooth cement floor. I loved it cause after I brooded, or kept baby goats, kittens, or quail, or a blind rooster, or anything injured in there I could just sweep and hose it out! We used a scrubber with bleach and then just hosed it out the door. We have a little mud room at out new place with linoleum and I HATE it! I think if I could ever design a room it would be smooth cement floors with a big drain in the corner.

Happy to hear the guineas and kitty made it home safe!

Thanks for the input on the critter room. Concrete or tile sounds like the best bet imo.

Shared this on FB earlier and thought y'all might enjoy it too...

Listening to DH telling the baby goat that he doesn't want in with him as DH takes a shower and Scottie yelling the whole time as he apparently tries to get in the shower. Hilarious!

Sorry to hear that things went so badly with the neighbor. Sounds like it is somewhat balanced out with a baby in the house. Babies are so much fun!

Found the solution to 3am feedings...Scottie chasing the kids around the house for about an hour makes for a very tired Scottie.

Took advantage of the nice weather and got some more work done on my mom's rabbit pens / grape vine trellis / strawberry bed. Ran out of staples, so that limited what parts I could work on. The grape vine trellis will also become our new gate into the field from the backyard. And since our current gate is broken, I really want to get at least that feature done quickly but it's not working out that way.

Tomorrow's weather is supposed to be half of what it was today! Half! Ugh.

I'm so tired today that I just wanna go to bed right now, it's a wonder that I even got anything done. DH asked what I was making for dinner and I almost told him whatever my dreams make for me. Instead a roast is going into the oven.

Trellis sounds pretty. We had a grape vine here but ended up digging it out because it was very unthrifty and looked dead most of the time. Not sure what it takes to get them to take off. Got any tips?

Ours is in nice moist ground that stays moist but not soaking wet all year (or most of it anyway). That's really our only secret.
