Today is Earth Day so we cleaned up on our section(s) of Adopt A Highway. Second piece of trash and........
That was cool. We proceeded on and found this a couple hundred feet down the road
Remember her warning .......
This guy was right next to me and my "Mongoose" reaction time saved me...

We did it, this is our Non Profit Business, awaiting our 501(c)3 tax exempt status. We own this Name officially. My wife (@JoJosMom) and I are doing it, we are committing not just our home and property but our time and Love to...
I am trying to prepare for housing lots of Sulcatas and all the problems that come with it. We currently use Kane Mats or Stanfield under and over our Sulcatas to keep them warm. Well when you have over a dozen of these houses to heat that way can become a lot to do and deal with. I am...
I am Learning how to be a Videographer, slowly. Here is a couple videos of the Ducks, Chickens and Turkeys.
Not an expert but trying to learn the whole "Youtube" life and how to use it. I am hoping the videos will get clearer as Youtube finishes Downloading them.
Our 2 Western Hermanns (male and female) are about to get their own pen for the first time EVER. Pairs don't work so they have been separated all winter in their own indoor enclosures. As we move them outside for the season and build them pens I wondered this... Do they do better in groups...
To those who don't know @Yvonne G is a big part of why our Family is in the position it's in now. She showed me what Kindness is, acceptance, and most of all fortitude : strength of mind that enables a person to encounter danger or bear pain or adversity with courage. She also put the Tortoise...
Yesterday was quite the day it went like this .........
The annoying anggg angggg anggggg sound of the alarm at 2 a.m. We have a pot bellied pig (Salt) that lives in the house in a large Dog Crate that needed a couple hours after eating to be allowed to go potty before going back in the crate...
I have a neighbor that lives in the L.A. area but owns a home here. He has a friend that owns a Tesla and drove it up here one day, he looked at me and asked "Where's the plug to charge my Tesla." I responded with "There ain't one," he then pulled out a 120 volt charger and said "I'll have to...
Last night there was another Starlink Falcon 9 launch, more satellites. Our son caught on video and heres some pics. It really lights up the sky.
Here is a close up you can clearly see the rocket.
Here they are .......
I can just give em a little kiss .....
There are 3 White Muscovy and 2 Peking females. Yet to find out the sex of the Muscovy, but they are just Lovers. Far more in need of interaction and compassion than the Peking. We adore them and look forward to figuring out...
For you that have never seen a Pack Rat here you go. These little free loaders can easily fit through the 1 inch chicken wire that makes up the Duck pen and Chicken coop. But once their mouths are full of the feed meant for OUR birds no way are they fitting through the chicken wire. Reminds...
We received a message today about a Turtle that was seen on the bank of the lake. Instantly my wife jumped into action, getting in contact with the person that saw the Turtle, then the Fish and Game. We rounded up the animals and headed out. We did get the only location given out of the...
We have 2 Hermanns and are planning for their pens, separate of course. Since we live in the Desert this will be quite the project, to keep Humidity levels high. Our plan is to create a very humid substrate with lots of plants and grasses to help accomplish this. Are their some "Standard"...
We are big fans of the Stanfield "Pig Blankets" for our torts, but recently ordered a Kane Mat. We ordered a Kane Mat due to how high of a price Stanfields are now, just crazy. My question is .... The Kane Mat is almost 1 inch thick vs the Pig blanket being less than 1/4 of an inch. Does...
Thought someone might like these pics …
I included both pics so you could see what the gophers have done
The first 2 pics are Dale and the 3rd is Bell. These are 55 gallon drums cut in half, and buried.
So Turkey Tom and his girl Lola are not being nice to the other birds, pecking at em. If we would have known that turkeys need to be by themselves we would have built them their own pen from the start. Our Peking duck is so passive she will just sit there and be attacked, so 1st priority is a...
When signing in there is a box with the option of "Stay Logged in." I do not do this because I do not want others to think I am on the forum when I am not. Is this true? Will people think I am here when I am not? Is it a big deal to sign in every time? And last of all, am I even...
