Upon the hearth the fire is red, |

Still round the corner there may wait |

Home is behind, the world ahead, |

I want a dog...
Woohooo! My collards sprouted!
All but seventy-two of my radishes have sprouted (over 300) and my garlic is already 2" tall!
I got rutabaga and beet seeds today.
I hope the weather holds! It's only a few weeks till the planting season starts anyway! I'm a little early...maybe the row-covers will help.
Hi there! So is Erin enjoying the homeschooling? Sounds like y'all have been really busy! We're on the downhill slope now. Clare is doing some History that she needs the credits for, she needs to do some Phys Ed., and she's enrolled in a Eng. Comp. class at the Community college. Turns out, the husband of a friend of mine teaches the class. He used to teach at St. John's high school, and our #2 son, David, had him in his Junior year. David says he was a tough teacher; Clare is a little nervous. ;o) But she's on schedule to 'graduate' in late June.
Hope the phone interview goes well. I'll keep you in my prayers!
That one is a German Shorthaired Pointer.
Me too. The only thing that stops me now is that it would be nice to pick one out together.
Ah...OK. My first guess from her description was that it was a pointer of some sort. They are pretty!
She is. and all trained for hunting too.
Thanks! Half an hour to go...
Awww....so cute!
FRMail me your current email... I think the one I have is old.
Pet adoption agencies should ask about other pets you have, and then test your potential pet for any aggressive tendencies. We were delayed a day in adopting Gyps 'cause they hadn't tested her around cats. She passed with flying colors, and, outside of 'resource guarding' she and the cats get along fine. LSA
On its way.
Huh...I didn't know they did that! That's very cool.
I expect a bit of boundery setting at first - lots of hissing and barking, most likely. But I'd be really afraid of bringing a totally unknown adult dog into a household if there was even the slightest chance they might see cats as prey. Not good.
There was a rant thread about this....someone's swearing off History Channel forever.
I think these days most dogs have been raised around cats, and fear them, because while dogs are taught to be nice, cats aren't... ;~D
So while there's always a tendency for a dog to chase anything new that runs, usually if you control the environment at first, they get over those initial reflexes.
Heh - I dare anyone who watched that broadcast to remember a single word she said. It was that bad.
I'm still in the catalog oggling phase. Got a new one today: The Cook's Garden.
