Oh dear...I would be so irritated. It's actually against our town ordinance to allow dogs to bark for more than 15 minutes. I'm so glad the foster who took in Luna trained her to stop barking on command.
Well, I don't think she'd be good at anything, but I think agility would be the most fun for her. I did find a club that holds rally events and classes but they are about an hour away. Maybe I'll do that with my next dog... 🙂
One of my hens has been laying thin-shelled eggs for a week or so. I am finding a fragile or broken egg in the nesting box every day now. They get 17% layer feed and free choice crushed oyster shell, but they are on pasture now so not eating as much of the feed. I'd like to help her out by...

Well...Soen is GREAT live!! Very impressed, especially by the vocalist - he nailed it, even the high notes. I can definitely recommend going to one of their concerts. The crowd was good too - they sang along to everything and weren't rowdy. I was only five people back from the stage the whole...

It's becoming more and more difficult for me to endure the long winters here. At the same time I don't do well in the heat (70+ degrees and I am dying). So my dream would be to have a winter home in a warmer place and come up to Vermont during the summer. Just have to build a chicken coop...
