    Peteyfoozer’s Journey (because journaling’s not enough)

    Regarding trimming of nails... I saw a video clip on pinterest where the owner put a sheet of sandpaper on a board and showed the dog how to scratch the board. She made a game of it where she would scratch then the pup would scratch. Just a suggestion.

    The journey into the abyss of no return

    Is it just me, but one would have to leave the kitchen, go into the living room to get into the pantry? Why not a door in the kitchen for the pantry???

    What to do about shedding/hair breakage

    I've had good results using kelp to help with hair growth/strength/softness. Regarding fishtail you could bolus her with copper. I use the bolus for kids regardless of the goat's age. I like the lower dose. It is a bit of a rodeo with my goats to bolus them but once done they are good for at...

    fuzzi's "Gardens and Chickens...and Goats? Oh My!" Journal and More Thread

    I've had good results with peppermint oil inside the house. I use Diatomaceous Earth (DE) outside... if I can find where they entered. Outside, like in the grass, I use fire ant poison and a liberal application of DE. It works like a one-two punch, plus it helps me identify what has been...

    The Crafty Broad Imposter - Projects and Progress

    I see goose. We raised Emden geese for several years. Granted one would not work well for your picture, but they were entertaining. As usual, beautiful work.

    The Crafty Broad Imposter - Projects and Progress

    Very nice work! The back should look as tidy as the front, and seldom is so you are very talented. How do you plan on finishing the fabric? Fringe-ing aida cloth works very well, but you probably know that. Please, and thank you, post a picture of the other bookmark(s).

    Coffee anyone ?

    @Weldman hope you and your customer realize that RV/POS is going to be crushed by burying it? In our ignorance, at the time, we buried a 20ft container in a hillside on the property. The front was opened as we planned on using it for storage. Top and other 3 sides were buried. In the spate...

    fuzzi's "Gardens and Chickens...and Goats? Oh My!" Journal and More Thread

    And the medical profession wonders why we have lost faith in it. Back to Ronald Reagan, "trust but verify". We did not do the covid shots. We used to get the annual flue shot, but we are not doing that now. Can't trust what is in the shot. Mrna that we were told would be gone from the body...

    Greetings from SWNC!

    Welcome! Glad you found us and we are thrilled to have you posting. Yes moving from the city to the country is not quite as bad as "Green Acres" would have one think, nevertheless it is a change. My DH and I both saw our first cow in a zoo, talk about city slickers. About 20+ years ago we...

    Alaskan's Journal

    My Muscovy hens always have either 2 or 3 to a nest... considering the girls are sitting on close to 20+ eggs per nest they need the extra bodies. My girls should start the hatching around May 5... so cute to see the wee yellow heads sticking out of the hen's feathers. Good luck with your birds!

    What is this crochet stitch????

    @Finnie you sure do some fine work! Hope the grands appreciate the work! I'm still playing with that mystery stitch... off and on, now and then. I can come close by using in interlocking scheme but that puts the design on both sides where as the video seems to have it on one side only. Hey...
