I used to have a very large, very hairy golden retriever who loved getting skunked. This formula was the only thing that worked for him.

I have 5 acres in western jersey and would love to get 2 goats and some chickens, but I’m not there full time and have to find someone to patch in for the days I’m not there….
So far the apple trees and berry patch seem to be coping with my intermittent schedule.
Cheers,
Martina

They are so darned cute. Did you know they eat rats? Need to have you guys over soon.

Possums are definitely a threat to domestic fowl. Basically they are huge rats. And don’t believe the urban legends about possums playing dead if menaced. Those teeth you saw? Take them seriously.

Your aunt & I have dreadful memories of a night at your mother’s house, when you were about 10 years old, with ferrets swooping through our bedding all night long….
