  1. In the goat world today….

    “new state labor regulations are making it more expensive to provide goat-grazing services, and herding companies say the rules threaten to put them out of business. The changes could raise the monthly salary of herders from about $3,730 to $14,000, according to the California Farm Bureau.”

    The herders mostly from Peru in California on visas, live in trailors with no living expense(food or housing). They work an on call 24 hr. shift.
    New labor laws will not only increase wages but add overtime.

    Thousands of goats are hired per year to get rid of vegetaion. Vegetation and brush from the rains that increase the chance of wildfires in California.

    This needs to be worked out for the sake of California. We need goats!

  6. This is Giovanna wanting to remind you that pet insurance is not just for dogs and cats….

    All pets are family from the 2 legged to four legged, whether its fur, feathers or scales…. We definitely love them all.

    And when they become ill, they need care too.
    From the routine exam to diagnostics, and or treatment.  All of which we know too well.  Something that can get very expensive very  quickly.

    Be prepared and look into pet insurance before injury or illness.

    Nationwide pet insurance says you’re covered!
    Save money, and feel safe with coverage for birds, reptiles and other exotics.

  13. This is the new addition to our outdoor terrarium. I love it!

    Outdoor terrariums are so much fun!
    But always make sure its kept up, so not to be a breeding ground for mosquitos.

    Mosquitos can transmit so many diseases that can be harmful to both you and your pet.  The very well known zika virus that spread to people, and of course heartworm that can be transmitted to your pet.
    Did you know there are over ten diseases that can be transmitted by mosquitos?

    Fish are always a good idea in a terrarium, to keep mosquito larvae out of your pond. Along with a good filter to keep water clean and moving.

    They are so easy to build, and when kept up so beautiful.  I don’t remember a Summer without dragonflies.
