Wow, I told dad and he said he was about to cry.

Now Bruce that is what my dad is going to do..... That is when his tractor is fixed..... He bent the backhoe by moving a stump that was huge.

so who is this?

My adorable puppy dad got me.

She is an 11-week old meramma, English shepherd mix.

Okay, I should tell you all about her.

It was 12:00 at night when I saw her picture on FB.... I showed her picture to dad and he said don't even think about it (I hadn't even wanted her)!!!

But after 5-minutes he said go ahead and contact her owner and we will talk.

So I did... After an hour-long conversation, it was a go.... She has been raised with goats and was with them till she was 11-weeks.

on Wednesday we went to go see them... I had 3-pups to choose from but her wonder already had picked which pup would fit best.... And she did an amazing job!

Her owner is helping with training and yesterday we introduced her to the chickens.... She loved them.

I showed her thru the fence but she wanted in with them so I let her... She just lay there and let the birds investigate.

I explained to her that the chickens were hers and what I expected.... She would shock me just a few hours later...

I took her outside and (we live just across from the chicksn) she saw a Magpie messing with "her" chickens... Without me noticing she took across the road with a heck of a bark and got them away... It may just have been a Magpie but it was awesome!

I am beyond pleased with her and her owner that worked with her before I got her.

I know I did the right thing in getting her!!!

She sleeps inside.

From what dad explained, here in AK they charge you tax for any buildings on the property..... So since these buildings are about to collapse they are not going to stay around..... They charge anywhere from 1500-4000 per building.

Perhaps you misunderstood what your Dad said..
They charge that much tax per building or appraise their value as that much?
According to Alaska State website information, the average property tax for all areas that have one, is 1-1.3%.
For a building to generate $1000 in tax revenue at the 1% rate, it would have to be valued at $100,000. At the highest rate of 1.3%, that same building would still only generate $1300..assuming again it was valued at $100,000 for tax purposes.

If the building was valued at the highest range in your post ($4000) then the approximate tax on it at the 1.3% rate would be $52.
