Is that a Five Roses cookbook on your shelf, it kind of looks like it, with the black plastic spiraling down the pages?

I have hummingbirds that hover in front of my sliding glass door to let me know it is time to refill the nectar feeders…

I have lighting over my houseplant table and the hummers are attracted to the grow light closest to the window. They fly up to the window and hoover there for a bit and then gone.

hello and good day oldfogey

You will, you can't help yourself. Good for the soul....

It's not the dog food it's the vet bill

I'm getting my chores done today...while busting up a bale of hay to help solidify the mud and shit my boots get stuck in the vacuum of the mud...I went face first and coated my legs and arms with shit along with splatters in the face...time to flip my new crop and then shower off...first I gotta hose Ivan off...he's covered in shit as well but he seems to enjoy the stank...geebus do I stink...

It's not the dog food it's the vet bill

it cost me well over 10K to fix Ivan when he was run over...Dutch's titanium tooth was pricey as well...

My neighbor has a bee hive and they swarm my humming bird feeders keeping the humming birds away....I have tried everything....

Don’t know if this works but you can try…

Cut up a fresh cucumber and line the peels in a single layer on an aluminum pie dish.
The reaction that occurs when the cucumber and aluminum come into contact emits a chemical scent that bees can’t stand.

I will try it next year....feeders are put away. I have tried putting coconut oil and peppermint separate with a q tip on the feeders .....nope. Even bought a certain kind of feeder....nope.

Tell me about it. My animals have higher bills that we do.

Getting ready for the big game. Colorado State vs Colorado. My daughter was a CSU alum and Colorado is their Arch Rival. I will be nice and stoned by the time the game comes on. She was a Cheer Leader at CSU so this is serious business. ha ha

About 4 bills for preventative, a bit of bloodwork and a check over

Ours too then add a 120.00 haircut every 5 weeks too. It would pay off for me to go to dog beauty school to learn how to clip them like I do Mr Sub…

Our little Pom Zoie cost us a lot of $$ the last two years we had her. RIP we loved you so much. It was worth every penny to keep her going and pain free.....just like Boo.

Yes they get right with your pocketbook anything to do with pets as they know we will pay it to keep them healthy and happy.

Back in the day it was only the Vet.
Now there's a receptionist, an assistant and a vet.
They've turned it into a racket.
Should've kept my path straight in life, always thought it to be my calling

 

[SubGirl]

My vet is pretty old school just the basics but still expensive even for healthy dogs but some vets try to shame you into unnecessary tests and things like doggy teeth cleaning and laser therapy. And dog acupuncture.

My sister always wanted to be a vet and did so. She practiced for a short period and decided to change careers. She has worked for Health Canada for a long time, I am not sure of all her duties but I do know she has power over the vets who do gov't inspection work at the slaughter houses, She also does work around agricultural animal food products that are imported/exported.

At the time of her graduation she had friended the top student out of their class. This young woman practiced for a short period and decided she wanted children, quit being a Vet had children and became a school bus driver. Sadly, she passed away youngish from cancer.

Good day to you OleReynard
