All this healthy eating talks and I'm nibbling on a chocolate brownie here

I was about to say that I'd go for a brownie diet! Why can't that work for me? With chocolate chips all inside the brownies?

If I can't eat 'em all tonight and tomorrow - they gotta go. I'll force myself!

To eat them ???


Yes, NH...you do need to get back onto some healthy eating again. The diabetes is not worth the cookie. Do check your blood sugars a couple days a week and see what's happening. You haven't given your body time to re-adjust hormones and if you get crazy not good meals, it could make all the difference in your return to normal insulin activities.

Tortoise -- sounds like ketogenics platform? You need to add some fats from nuts & like olive oils in there. Makes a difference. Will this work with your other meds for your condition you have? Can't remember the name.

I have good game camera pics and they won't upload. Grrrr!

Oh nooooo! Soooo, what are the pics of? Nasty predators?

 

[NH Homesteader]

Bobcat! And it's a huge one!

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Oh my.....yep - an LGD sounds good, huh?

 

[NH Homesteader]

Yeah... This cat is the size of my dogs. My dogs are 55 lbs give or take. This is not a small bobcat! It could get a goat kid with no issues. It could get an adult with no issues actually. Eek! Put the camera back, hoping the coyotes come through next to see how they're looking this winter.

Cats are scary! Fences don't work to keep them out. We have a pretty good bobcat population in our area. I've had a goat killed in my FRONT barnyard. Went out and found her eviscerated right by the gate...had another one doe come up with her throat ripped open and scratches on her belly. She survived - barely - and another time had a buck kid absolutely disappear without a trace in daylight. In fact, issues with bobcats are what convinced me to get LGD's years ago. They are still here, my neighbor sees one occasionally in her pasture. She's let her pasture grow up in to perfect bobcat cover... gee thanks neighbor.

Oh my word… They sound horrible. @NH Homesteader an LGD or two sounds like a good addition to the homestead for you.

Eek FEM! We have a lot of rabbits so I think this guy is well fed (he sure looks it!) but still.... Why tempt him? Going to show the pic to the lady who is supposed to be breeding her Pyr... Make sure she's still got me on her list!
