The outside dogz (BigBig & LilLil) are REALLY MAD at their Mum and Dad...  Shotgun Deer Hunting begins in the morning so they are tethered to their dog houses.  Believe me, I feel for them!  I hate to tie them, especially after BigBig's last "vacation", but I'd also hate to see them shot.  I do know that the hillbillies out here in the country are pretty crazy about deer hunting...  They will shot at anything that moves and especially at a white tail which both the boyz have!  I even wear an orange vest when walling the puppups...The good news for them is that they will get something special each night.  Tonight, they got the remaining turkey skins along with fat from the top of last night's roast.  I must say, I am about sick and tired of leftovers of all kinds at this point as we had beef stew tonight from leftover roast.  I actually think I'm going to give the remaining mashed potatoes and dressing to the boyz... Enough is enough!  Once we are no longer sick and tired of turkey, I have a breast and some chunks (for soup or creamed).  I hate to think that I have another turkey in the freezer, but I suppose I'll be happy for it in the dead of winter when Guy is not working...So, Guy will be hunting this week, and I'll be relegated to the house as it is supposed to rain a good bit of the week.  Believe me, I'm not sad as it took 3 hours just to wash a load of clothes today; our watertable is so low that  the well just can't keep up.Tuesday, I have a teleconference for the MS support group I help to run here in Coshocton County.    You know, I'm not really sure how to approach this one as we only have a social group.  I mean, we go out to lunch, we don't "have a formal meeting".  There are all these rules that the NMSS expects us to follow, but our purpose is to just chat and have lunch...  All I do know is that if I get back up to a wall, I'll just drop my involvement.  They just don't seem to get it... I live in a very rural county (100 people per square mile tops--that's the city of Coshocton, my little town is 32/sq. mile).  It certainly does not compare to a city support group.  Plus, we don't talk medicine really except to complain a little...  Let's face it, there are no cures for MS, and the treatments are OK for some, not for others.  I just feel as if the NMSS is making it all too formal for a group like ours...  OK, I'll try to approach it all with an open mind, but I'm not handing out guarantees...Even as I write, the rain is falling, thank you Goddess!  I think I can hear my well cheering!

Better a safe dog than a dead dog, right?

Hi Cj ... Happy After Thanksgiving Days! It is deer hunting season here also. I love to have them in my yard and hate to see them get shot but I understand ... yadda, yadda, yadda! I too wear orange when I walk Lily and she also wears an orange vest. We have some loonies that live down the hill (I call them earth people) and I think they would shoot just about anything that moves. I hear gun shots all day long. I hate it.

Nice to visit with you for a bit. Will write later this week. ooxx

couldn\'t your group just be a m.s. social group without being attached to the msaa or the society???
that way you all don\'t have to follow set guidelines.
my dogs loved the turkey left overs!!! but they made my rotty fart for for the next day very loudly, which highly impressed the boys lol

by all means keep the dogs locked up until after deer season. few yrs ago some lawyers came down from the city and mistook a cow for a deer..think they just want to shoot there expensive guns and don\'t care waht they hit
