    Rescue fly traps help with flys. I have at least 4 to 6 around my horse pen. They haven't solved the fly problem but they sure help. Bought mine at home depot and live stock stores about $6 to 7 each. They smell terrible but are not poisonous. Keep water in them so they don't dry out. Put them near Daisy's pen

      Puppy chow?!?😲 I'm from the PNW and have never heard that before today! 😂 We've always called them Muddy Buddies. Lol It's so interesting that within the same country but different states (sometimes even in the same state but different areas) call the same thing something totally different. Have a great day everyone 💕

    Make food puzzles for Bella. It will be a game, and a puzzle (mental stimulation), with little bits of kibble as reward. Little bags made for dogs, sometimes sold as toys, with velcro on them work well. I would tell you where I got them, but they were picked up various places, most often as part of a different toy group. Put one inside the other, roll or fold if needed, with a few bits of kibble thru out. I make one for my Scooter everyday and he loves it. Another thing to use is old socks. Get ten socks, put a little piece of kibble or treat in each. It may take her awhile to figure it out, thats ok. You can watch, if she get frustrated or struggles too long, you can show her.

    Your feeding chicken to your chickens reminded me of how our hens got their 'revenge' on Henry, our rhode island red/plymouth rock cross rooster. Henry was under-serviced with our ten hens and mangled their heads and shoulders. He also was attacking our four-year old so, stew pot time. He was so tough he ended up on the barn-yard compost pile. Guess who finished him off - seemed fitting 😏 Glad someone else draws those blanks :O) Oh noooo, how many poinsettias did you buy!?! Wow, you can plant them right in the ground?!? Guess so at 80!! Our first two/three days of snow is on its way :O Love the 'barn' decorations, especially the bells. PS - you're both just having toooo much fun!! O) 🇨🇦

    Everything looks beautiful! The bells look perfect on Daisy’s barn. You know, you need to plant things you can trim with for the holidays. Winter and fall not only is it fun to gather, real trimmings look and smell nice without creating a storage issue. Win/win! Don’t know if you’ve solved the frost and tropical garden issue, but I’m in NorCal 9b and use white strings of analog (they get warm) lights on my fruit trees. If it’s going to be a really hard frost I still sometimes throw some sheets over, but my friend in colder Sacramento does not and her trees are fine. Hope you had a wonderful holiday!

    Did you really think we would look at the corms instead of Bella? Hehe. I did appreciate your demonstration of what to do with the corms that came later. A lot of people make it seem so complicated. I also think your plan for training Bella is loving and sensible. P.S. The ribbon fabric is gingham. P.P.S. The barn and fence decorations are terrific!

    We call the Chex/pb/chocolate/powdered sugar treat 'Puppy Chow'. I think Muddy Buddies may be a newer or brand name, but it's always been Puppy Chow for us.
    I also have to laugh at all of the dog 'suggestions'. Like you haven't already had a dog for a long time. I know people are just trying to be helpful but I think they forget this isn't your first puppy. Our dog destroys almost any toy we give her so there's a limited number of things that work for her. Somehow our Golden-doodle is also part shark.
    We barely finished our outside decorating before our first snow started to fall yesterday. 80 degrees definitely wouldn't feel right for Christmas decorating. It looks beautiful and I love the pictures! Dais E. Cheese is very photogenic.

    Just a thought, you could frame the windows and door of the cottage w lights and do a lighted wreath on chimney.

Mainly because I want real ones gone after the holidays, yet they don’t die fast enough, lol!
