NH Homesteader- turkeys!

My dogs kill rats (with my encouragement) but they do not eat them!

DH said he took lots of pictures... Have I seen any? Noooo. This is why we pay for data plans on our cellphones, and he hasn't sent me any of these supposed pictures!

Sounds like he's very interested in talking to them more about putting a place in at their place. Then searching for land once we're down there for a bit.

Mine too - they kill 'em and leave 'em for me to pick up - UGH! However, Gracie will happily scarf up any of the itty bitty baby rats/mice she can find. She's quite fond of little pink wigglies!

No pics? Shame on him, lol. It sounds like partnering up with your friends would be something that works well for all of you!

DH just left, so he should be here by 9:30AM, if they have no travel issues. I can't wait!

I have been on the couch for most of the afternoon with an ice pack on my head. I have done very little to actually entertain my child today, except half heartedly play the board games she brought over and jammed in my face haha. I had the worst headache I have had in probably several years. I have a cold, so I took Dayquil this morning and couldn't take anything for the actual headache until a half hour ago. It still hurts a lot but not nearly as bad as it was earlier. Going to feed the animals (ouch) and go to my mom's house for dinner. Happy DH will be home tomorrow!

Maybe he wants to sit with you when you see them so he can explain what they are.

I haven't heard of Nutria outside of west Tennessee so far. That doesn't mean they won't migrate. We have large numbers of groundhogs though. I'm declaring war on them in one part of my pasture.

Send your herders or Maisy out after them. That is one of the things I was hoping/expecting Merlin to help me with

I don't know if I could bring myself to eat one... Shoot one yes but not eat one!

Tastes like chicken

Um... Ew.

Everyone around me has a groundhog problem, we have never seen one here. I'm not sure why, but I hope they stay away!

Sure hope ya get to feeling better up there and the Head unclogs, too. Ya know he is "Busting" to tell ya but wants to do it "Face to Face" to see the "Look" on yours when he tells and Shows ya....

You guys give him too mch credit, lol. He just has zero attention span and hasn't taken 2 seconds to send them!

My parents said they'll consider leaving NH when my mom retires, in 3 years. Oh and my grandfather is doing a little better, he bought a scooter and they went to Disney the other day! My mom is going down at the end of March and will be able to meet his oncologist. She sounds like she wants me to bring my daughter down if he can't come up here this year. He's afraid she'll be scared of his oxygen... She so will nor.

Glad your grampy is doing better! I'm sure your DD will adjust to his oxygen. My DH uses a CPAP at night and when the grands were smaller they called it his Mr. Snuffleupagus machine, lol. They thought it was COOL!

That's cute!

And DH is home

Home... And asleep. Lol
