Hi Mariann, are you willing to give up your trade secret and tell me what program you use to mark up your share like that? I love the way you show produce on your blog.

Comment on Feral dogs kill again by marian33031

Nick and Margie do have dogs. They were barking up a storm, but only until Nick came out did the feral dog leave. But by then it was too late for the cat… “They are probably hungry and are just following instinct.” Yes, but that’s no excuse. I am angry at and blame the #@%$*&%&^ former owners who dumped the dogs in the first place. That was the point of the blog post.

Please consider getting a watch dog. The stray dogs will thnk twice if there is a dog already claiming the ‘territory”. If you don’t want to get a dog, try having a friend bring their dog (male) and have him mark his territory. Don’t blame the dogs. They are probably hungry and are just following instinct.
Geese also make good watch animals.

Comment on Dine with goats by marian33031

Lupe, even I can’t afford these expensive dinners! But I do shop at farmer’s markets, and try to fit local and organic food into my budget. As I commented elsewhere, not all farm events are this expensive. Paradise Farms offers brunches and Learning Lunches during season for under $100 pp. Other farms had events that were moderately priced. Also keep in mind not all people, rich or poor, want to eat real, fresh, organic food, on a farm or in their home, for whatever reason. I have friends and co-workers who eat corporate food (as I call it) and they don’t want to know where their food came from or how it was produced. (Thinking about that is dangerous!) Fed some friends grassfed beef and they didn’t like it!! Tasted too strong, they said. Go figure!

The county ought to go on a sweep and round up as many dogs as they can, instead of ignoring the problem. The aggressive ones are not adoptable, anyway.

Good article.Thank you.
We went by Possum Trot on Sunday and saw a black & tan dog there-Robert said it ‘appeared’ this past week and won’t go away. And that evening, he said yet another dog was ‘dropped off’. It’s getting worse. People are worried about themselves, and consequently doing cruel and heartless things with no thought to their repercussions.
