get the money from you, the user, by way of a membership fee

I would much rather that than ads, banners, data mining and tracking.

Opening page in a new window 'in incognito' helps.

I think he'll get past that once he realizes that he's found a home & I'm not going anywhere and neither is he.

I think that is likely. Our oldest cat was a rescue from the Humane Society. She was turned in, presumably some family couldn't keep her. She was a bit neurotic and chewed shoelaces. Stuff them in your shoes or lose them. DW forgot with her NEW shoes. I had to buy her new laces before she even wore the shoes. Samantha hasn't chewed a lace in 10 years and we've had her not much longer than that.

I hope the little guy figures out that he has a stable home quickly.

Man GB, "they" are really trying to get the low down on you... You got skeletons or something?

Yea Elf has a lot of nervous energy yet. He's lying right beside me right now staring up at me intently. Mel is just the other side of him snoring... Here are the two of them last night. It's hard to get a pic because if I make any noise at all while moving, Elf is up and wanting attention. He's nowhere near as large as the pictures make him appear. He's just much closer to the camera. He does have very strong haunches and slender shoulders. He wants to jump up with his paws constantly and it's a chore constantly pushing him off and putting his paws back down on the ground. His front claws are what have raked open my forearms in a number of places.

OK, so how'd he get his name... well, I keep referring to him as "Little Fella" and that led to "LF" which when spoken, sounds like "Elf", so there ya have it. And he is a little "elfish" if that means kinda flighty and small.

This is in the back bedroom where I have my computer. The carpet is actually a grey color but these pics were taken with my phone last night.

Just got through re-burning scur starts on the three remaining boy babies. I re-burned the 2 biggest (Dot's boys) about a week ago. Having to deal with RJ's scurs, I do NOT want scurs! All the doelings initial burns were adequate and none of them had scurs developing. 2 of the three I just did weren't bad at all but I'm taking no chances. Specially since 2 of them are sold and the woman specifically stated part of her reason for buying was because they'd have no horns.

@Devonviolet have you checked Hope and Faith to make sure there are no scurs developing? If there are, it's no biggie as I can hit them again when I return the iron and box. Just let me know. Speaking of which, is there a day coming up that would work for me to swing them by?

Looks like Mel is living up to his name having Elf in the house, doesn't look perturbed at all.

I expect you will have a routine and Elf will get used to that. I think that will calm him a fair bit knowing that things happen in an orderly expected manner and make him less needy. At least I hope so.

Both dogs look content and happy. Elf may settle down once he realizes he has a home.

First let me welcome you to BYH, Rammy! I haven't had much spare time lately, so, have gotten behind, with my reading and posting.

I have to be careful when reading @Baymule's postings and drinking something. My computer doesnt like it when I spew Pepsi all over it laughing at something she wrote!

Having move to NE TX back in mid 2014 , with my dear, sweet husband, I have been blessed to get to know Latestarter and Baymule. You are,so right about Bay! She is a stitch! We moved onto our little homesteads at approximately the same times, and she, her DH and my DH and I have gotten to be good friends. We laugh a lot!!!
