Awesome!!!!!Splash kept his kennel clean overnight! We had morning snuggle time instead of bathtime.
Daydreaming while waiting impatiently!

I had a productive day that didn't feel busy. Most of it in the kitchen. I baked 5# of potatoes because children eat a lot. 
Half of them are gone.

perhaps they took some to sit on them and are hoping they'll hatch more?

I make a potato casserole with onion, hash brown shredded potatoes, sour cream, top with crushed corn flakes drizzled with butter on top and baked in oven. It’s yummy!

I bought a vintage mink coat today. $40 (and 45 miles away). It just has one button at the neck, more of a cape style. Its a size too big, so I can wear it over my slim peacoats when the weather is very cold.
It needs a new lining, but thats no biggie.

I have my great aunts mink coat, my mom inherited it, then me. I guess I ought to wear it. Hmmmmm……. Where to? Walmart? It would look classy with blue jeans and boots!

I will stick out like a sore thumb wearing it... probably to walmart or the farm store because where else do I go? 
But hey, I'll be warm, and that's what matters!- Thread starter

Mixed feelings, and a brief update.
Boi attacked my old barn cat, Gracie when she came up to the patio door for breakfast. I saw it happen, scooped her up, DS15 put Boi in the car and we went to the vet clinic. I didn't even put shoes on.
Gracie has a broken rib and is expected to survive. She is not paralyzed. She is drugged up on painkillers and hospitalized.
Boi will be euthanized later today. He is not cat-safe or sheep-safe, has bitten DH 4 times, and has been growling and barking at DH every day for 2 years. Heck, he would start growling and barking when he heard the goats yell, because the goats yell at DH when he gets home (when they think they need more/better hay
).
I'm kinda all over the place.
Defeat
Sadness
Relief
Peace
I'm going to scrub some stuff until I feel better.

I am so sorry, such a hard decision to make. I hope that you are able to find peace in your decision. I would be choosing the same avenue if a dog had bit anyone in the family.
