I have just had the best weekend! Debbie Scriven / Doobie and I, drove to Oklahoma to pick up some horses, and we were able to meet three forum members. We met Susan Oberg / Horsehug, in Omaha to pick up a filly I bought from her, and had breakfast with her. The visit was way too short, but what...

I am just curious about something... I know a double dilute will produce dilutes, but my question is, since they carry two copies of the cream gene, can they pass on both copies and produce double dilute in some of their offspring, without the influence of a second dilute parent, or will the...

We are planning to breed our mini spotted Jack to one of our mini mares soon, and I am just wondering whether the best method is to try hand breeding when she cycles, or whether to just pasture the two together and let them figure it out? The mare was left open last year, so does not have a foal...

We said goodbye to our old Collie this evening, and I just wanted to share these photos and a little of her story as a bit of a tribute to her. We have had many dogs over the years, and with several geriatric adoptees passing away in the last few years, it certainly has not gotten any easier to...

Continuing prayers for your wee girl, and wondering if when you have a few minutes you could update us on how she is doing?

We have a Senegal parrot. We have had her two years, and I know that they sometimes need to have their beaks trimmed by a vet. How do you know when it is too long or needs attention. She is not having any difficulty with it, eating or anything, but I am wondering how to tell if it has grown too...

We have two babies now flying and healthy. : There were four eggs. One never hatched, three did and one died, not sure why, but the parents did a great job with the remaining two, and the babies are noisy and healthy and adorable!! Thanks for the help guys, we appreciate it! :

Thank you to all who looked at the Stolen puppy post to see if they recognized him. I don't know the details yet, but a friend just emailed me to say that Cheesie the Bulldog puppy has been located, and is home safe with his family!

I am copying an email that was just forwarded to me, along with photos of a puppy that has been stolen, and MAY be in Sturgeon Falls or elsewhere in the north. If you recognize him, please contact the email address or phone number listed at the end of the letter. Thanks...

I was watching a show this afternoon (The Gill Deacon show - seems to be a new sort of local-ish talk show), and one of the topics was making your own pet food. The lady who was on, I'm sorry I did not catch her name, but she has written a book called "Food Pets Die For", had two dogs get sick...

Randy and I always start our day with coffee, and I enjoy that quiet time before the kids are all up, but lately there is a lot of competition for Randy's attention! : First Skye has to have her morning snuggle... Then the other Border Collie, Aberdeen (Abby) has her turn... and Jade the...

While I was out this afternoon, I stopped in a couple of places to look at Christmas cards, thinking to get them done up early ready to be mailed later would be good. I could not believe how many packages were marked "Holiday" cards, rather than Christmas cards. It was a pet peeve of my mum's...

Please forgive her very wooly appearance, she is ready for the long cold winter ahead. Here is Dove in her pumpkin costume. She was more interested in nibbling the pumpkins than posing for photos! Thanks for letting us share :

A friend just sent this to me. I have to laugh because I didn't do very well. : :bgrin Am I allowed to blame it on not enough coffee yet this morning??? : You have to answer instantly without stopping to think about it. TEST FOR DEMENTIA Below are four (4) questions and a bonus question. You...

A few years ago we bought a beautiful registered Welsh pony for our daughter. A couple of years ago, the previous owner needed to get rid of her horses and gave us the son of my daughter's pony (in desperation I think as no one else would take him!), a pretty, but absolutely horrible to catch...

A couple of years ago someone posted a link to a site where you could download tubes for PSP, a bubble and a sparkle that made really nice Christmas avatars. I added them to our PSP program, but when our computer crashed this year we lost them. Does anyone know where I can download them again?

We have a young pair of zebra finches, who recently went through courtship, prepared a nest, laid four eggs, three of which hatched. The chicks hatched within about 36 hours start to finish, and began hatching Monday. The fourth egg did not hatch, and this morning when I shone a small light into...

I am not at all familiar with colour and pattern genetics in donkeys, and I am wondering if theirs are the same/similar to horses? Our mini Jack is spotted, and appears to be a "frame" pattern. Can donkeys carry the same patterns as pinto horses, and if so, since he will be used for breeding...

I have had a forsythia bush since the year after we moved here. (about 11 years) It bloomed the first couple of years and then the next year I had to move it. I moved it to full sun, which is where I remember my mother's doing really well. Well either I put it in the wrong spot, or I am doing...
