My week with Lou and b's

Off Topic

  • We have spent a week up on Whidbey Is, Wa state area, and its been
    fun. We have a cabin, rustic, but a bit of a view of the water.
    Not to far from a beach where I can walk the dogs.
    So, I am washing the dishes the first day there, and suddenly, my feet are wet.:eek:
    The plumbing under the sink let go and water was everywhere…thankfully no b's were "hurt" by the dreaded water........
    Saved by a couch to get up on...
    Anyway, its been fun and the b's are trying to chase the rabbits and deer that are all over this island.


  • What fun! Are you able to let them run loose on the island? That would be worth living really rustic for awhile. Enjoy!


  • Sharron, so glad to hear that you, Lou and your b's are having a great little vacation. I've been on Whidbey Island. I just love the big wildnerness there. Such big green trees that smell so full of life.

    Enjoy the rest of your vacation, my friend.


  • Sharron, so glad the b's didn't have to be airlifted!!!!!

    Love Whidbey Island. Piece of interesting trivia: It is the 2nd longest Island in the US, after Kodiak Island in Alaska.

    Enjoy the rest of your vacation!!!


  • The b's loved the rental..the sun woke me up at 6am, and when I had to leave the dogs, they went upstairs to lay on the bed in the sun..
    Much joy was had by all!


  • I am envious:)


  • Thanks! I am headed to the basenji national in Co tomorrow.
    I hope I can get some folks to take photos of Wheat for me.
    I love to share her…


  • Glad you're all enjpying your holiday. I'm looking forward to seeing more (and more) photos of Miss Wheat.


  • Any Whidbey photos?


  • Sharron, enjoy your time at the Nationals with Miss Wheat!

    Chelsie-the B's don't get a chance to see them. The B's are in the front in a pen and the ducklings and chickens are in the back. After Shadow decided to help me butcher a chicken when we first moved in, I thought it prudent to keep them separated. They would definitely terrorize them. Yes, Robyn, I made the duck tractor. It has wheels on the one end so I can move it around. I do have a duck pen, and they will go in it when I fix the duck house. It seems rats, or something decided to make a meal of the one end and floor of the house. So, I have to fix that. I do really like it, but it won't be big enough in a couple of weeks for them. I will try to get more pics of the little monsters today. (And, the pen will work very well for one of the dogs if I ever need it!!) Yes, they grow very, very fast. If I can get a pic of them up and about, you will see how it's very hard to tell which one had the spraddle legs. The rouens are bigger than the muscoveys. There are three rouens and they have an eye stripe.

    Oh, I was just reminded of this one this morning. The hair dryer! Whenever I blow-dry my hair, Becca runs into the bathroom to make sure that she gets her fair share of the warmth of the blow-drier. I'll dry my hair then put it on her for a bit and this cycles until I am done…..then she runs back to bed.

    @Basenjimamma: …Oh, I want one of those generators too..they are just so darn expensive..We need them down here too, if we have a storm, our neighborhood of 25 or so homes are one of the last on the list to get our power back..it sucks.. We do have a generator that is large enough to either run the fridge and a few lamps, OR our waterpump..so you have to pick your battles when the electricity goes.. Yeah, see my problem is I want the whole house automatically on when the power goes out - gone are the days when I find it an adventure! As it is, I've compromised and were only doing the first floor (including all kitchen, laundry, office, bedrooms, bath, basement - furnace, well/water) and the only thing on the 2nd floor will be the bathroom. During the ice storm last winter we lost power for 4 days. During the ice storm of 98 (?) we lost power for 17days - CNN was filming right in front of our house. :eek:

    @Natalplum: You both are in my thoughts. I hope your DH comes home safe and healthy. You will NEVER be lonely with your B's around. They are the best to call on for some love and comfort. Not to mention a lot of laughs! That's the best thing having a B brought into my life. I was so depressed, and then along came a B to make me laugh again. Worth their weight in gold, for sure….
