It would be! and I have a few regrets about not even ~trying~ to see if we could keep her. I’ve just seen Gidget... at Rutledge actually, lunging at the leash to get at them. And if I set her up with a coop in the barn... what of the feral kitties I have given refuge there? I don’t know... ecurbh’s relieved he isn’t going to be recruited to help solve it. :~)
He promises me that when we get our own place he will get me some ducks, when we can build a proper duck pond. :~)
If you don’t like duck, you’re rather stuck.
I know this is heresy on FreeRepublic, but if you really want to open up your horse boarding place as a business and not just a hobby you should look at the possibility of a grant/loan from the Small Business Administration. You’d get extra points if it’s in your name and not ecurbh’s.
Just food for thought.
Get geese instead. They can defend themselves, and make good burglar alarms.
