We picked up some more blackberry and strawberry plants too. The plan is to plant them tomorrow, along with the fruit trees. We bought 2 plum, 2 cherry and an apple tree. Some rodent over the winter girdled 3 fruit trees.
We got a guy very interested in our young Angus bull, but since we lost his daddy when he got a broken back, I don't think hunny is willing to sell him. When the guy was over ther other day he made a comment on how well our girls up front were looking. Hope he spreads the word so we can sell some cows.
We lost our main bull last year and won't know how well our young bull will work out until around February.
And THAT is what matters right now. Getting bills paid off. That would be my first too in your situation. Inflation is right down the road.
Give dog milk to drink. He will be ok. Give his his food wet, in multiple small portions over the next couple of days.
I'm glad to hear that Chester is doing better. For me my old dogs life is worth whatever I could afford to pay to keep him healthy. He's always been there for me.
When our "rescue" dog --Leica-- was poisoned, we spent over $1100.00 in only 3 days to find out she could not be saved and still had to put her down... You have to know what you do. BUT, never forget how many dogs have saved how many lives, made you laugh so many times, got the children to get out and play and protected their beloved humans from intruders, snakes, other dogs and fires...what value can you put on that???
