  1. Milo is Faith’s service dog & she has Midgy. When she comes to Papa & Gigi’s house, she has Chi Chi & Foxy, plus the neighbors dog Sandy Bean. Faith has all the puppy 💙❤️🧡💛💚 she wants or needs!!
  2. Same here, but she probably signed some papers & not allowed to talk about it.
  3. Faith Marie made a trip to CHP yesterday morning, thought she aspirated again. Nope, she has a cold!! Deryk said he thinks she is just so used to being in the hospital on holidays & her birthdays that she wanted to go for a big long ride yesterday!! 🤪 I got to babysit my granddogger & son till they got back. I’m so used to little dogs, when Milo wants something, he wants it now. He found out GiGi isn’t a pushover like Papa, 😂. Those two will go outside & play fetch for 20 min till Milo says ok, I’m done!! 😁
  4. And the PGC say the turkeys are hard to come by (2022). We have a flock of them that seem to stay on the wall side of town. We see a flock pretty much every time in Penfield in a certain field. Go to Parker Dam but drive all the way through till you hit Tyler Run, turn right, you will hit some fields after you go over the little bridge. They are usually filled with turkeys. 🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃
  5. It lasted about a year and a half by doing it that way. I never pulled the bulb out of the soil it came in. It probably needed repotting towards the end, but I never thought of it. I just threw it away.
  6. I would let it dry some after it bloomed & wasn’t pretty anymore. Once the stem started to dry up, I cut it back to 2-3” and not water it for 3-4 weeks. Start watering again. Soon you should see the green moving up a little bit each day. Make sure you keep the flower in a spot where it gets lots of light. Make sure they are watered, but not in standing water. You don’t want the bulb to rot. Put your finger down in the soil about an inch or little more, is the soil damp or dry? If dry: water 💦 Thats all I did, nothing extraordinary.
  7. I always got mine to bloom 4 times during the year.
  8. I meant for speaker of the house.
  9. If they needed quarantine, they should of been held at the airport. A woman I used to work with moved to the USA. She brought her dog with her, he was her baby. The dog was in quarantine for 6 months. Why weren’t the monkeys? Guess we will never know since that company is shut down, no more monkeys. Thank you PETA!
  10. Published: Jan. 09, 2023, 4:55 p.m. By John Beauge | Special to PennLive The company linked to the transportation of the lab monkeys involved in an accident near Danville a year ago has ceased operations. That was confirmed by Jeffery Quebedeaux, owner of Quebedeaux’s Transport, and U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) records. The records show Quebedeaux’s was placed out of service on March 19 for failing to respond to a request for the performance of safety audit and its DOT’s number was deactivated on Sept. 15. The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) had accused the Louisiana trucking company of illegally transporting monkeys to laboratories. The monkeys involved in the accident last Jan 21 at the Route 54/Interstate 80 accident were being transported for him but not by the company itself, Quebedeaux told PennLive. The shutdown occurred after PETA says it submitted evidence to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) that the company appeared to be illegally transporting hundreds of long-tailed macaques to laboratories. However, in a LinkedIn post Quebedeaux stated: “I haven’t transported primates in over a year. All the forms and documentations were falsified in the transportation of these primates.” PETA acknowledges DOT’s investigation into its complaint about Quebedeaux revealed a commercial monkey importer falsely listed the firm as the transport company on multiple shipments in 2022 The accident occurred, according to state police, when the pickup driven by Cody M. Brooks of Keystone Heights, Florida, turned in front of a large dump truck. The impact caused the crates to be strewn across the highway. One of them broke open allowing three of the primates to escape. They were caught and euthanized by state police. “Just for the record I want to let everybody know that I have done nothing wrong in the industry,” Quebedeaux’s LinkedIn post continued. He added he will not in the future do anything wrong “because the feds have made me sign paperwork saying that I would never come back to the research field.” His post also detailed his failed efforts over the past 18 months to open a research center in Bunkie, Louisiana. In August, the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries notified him his proposed facility was not exempt from the state’s prohibition on possession of nonhuman primates. It also cited a letter from the USDA that stated what he proposed did not meet the definition of a research facility. Quebedeaux planned to turn a former prison into a quarantine facility that would house hundreds of long-tailed macaques imported into the U.S. for use in laboratories, PETA claimed The 100 monkeys involved in the Danville area accident had arrived earlier in the day at New York’s JFK Airport from the island of Mauritus off the African coast. They were being transported to CS Primates in Kaiser,Missouri, for quarantine in 37 crates stored in a trailer pulled by a pickup truck. A Montour County woman who stopped to assist at the accident scene required treatment after she came in contact with the monkeys. Following the accident PETA, filed several complaints with government agencies over the treatment and transportation of monkeys in the U.S. Kenya Airways, which had flown the monkeys into the U.S., has stopped transporting primates at PETA’s request
  11. If it was so hard to decide between a R or a D, wouldn’t the logical answer be to vote for an Independent?
  12. Faith Marie said happy 38th birthday mama, let’s cuddle today. 🫠😘🥰🎉🥳🎈🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
  13. Brandi posted a video of her last night, after everyone left, of her doing circles. Go to His Will His way my Faith.
  14. Faith is much better!! We went to visit this afternoon & we got to see Faith Marie try out her Christmas gift from us. She ❤️ It❣️I took 2 videos, both are 2 1/2 minutes long. Brandi & Deryk would put her hands on the controls & push on them & she saw what would happen. It took a little bit but once she figured it out she was going around in circles. I think in no time she will have it figured out to go forward but she really liked going around in circles!! Made her smile, big smiles!!
  15. Faith does have a uti, but not a sinus infection. Poor kid, apparently she threw up and inhaled some into her lung. She has another dr appt Fri, if she doesn’t sound better by then, then off to CHP they go. Brandi has a cold now.
  16. Faith is sick with a sinus infection & very possibly a uti, will find out tomorrow. I came down with the flu today, so I missed Christmas dinner with Brandi, Deryk, the grandkids & the grand dogs.
  17. Maybe Faith told Santa she wants a cow for Christmas. Maybe, just maybe, he told her since she has been the most well behaved little girl, he will see if one can fit on his sleigh!! 🐮🐄 🎄
  18. Big hug from her “little” piggy …I kinda told Brandi that the pig was “small.” We were all told no more stuffed animals. She was pissed when she saw the size of it, 🤭 😇.
  19. Don’t forget to get a pic or two of Faith Marie & Wilber!!
  20. SOB has been quite busy with Faith lately. The last few weeks have been filled with therapy appts in DuBois & St Mary’s, plus Dr appts in Wexford, Pittsburgh, Reynoldsville & DuBois. Hopefully there will be pics or video of some of the things Faith has been working on!! 🤗 🤭 🤩 😍
  21. Papa buys for her also!! Papa says Mimi can buy Faith Marie anything she wants ❤️❤️❤️❤️
  22. Where is a pic of Faith Marie & Wilber?? It is a must!!
  23. Pa. bans popular landscaping plant, 2 others from being sold REGIONAL NEWS by: Jennifer Rodriguez Posted: Feb 4, 2022 / 03:07 PM EST / Updated: Feb 4, 2022 / 03:07 PM EST Pa. (WKBN) – The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture is banning three invasive plants.Ravenna grass, glossy buckthorn and common buckthorn have been added to the list of noxious weeds and can no longer be legally sold or cultivated in the state. “Ravenna grass will be really recognizable to people it’s a very popular landscaping plant because it’s kind of large and dramatic,” said Shannon Powers, press secretary for the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. Powers says the three plants were brought to Pennsylvania at some point because they were attractive plants, resistant to disease and very hearty. “These are not native plants, they don’t really belong here and the same reasons that made them popular made them invasive,” she said. “They choke out natural habitats, for both wildlife and for native plants, and so they create long term problems and some of them are very, very hard to eradicate after that problem after they’ve been established.” It is recommended that anyone who may already have these plants on their property remove them for an alternative. “We’re also really recommending that you take the time when you’re adding plants to your landscape, or to your garden, take the time to research the plant,” Powers said. Powers said the ban takes effect on February 7, and there are other plants that have recently been banned. You can find out more information on that here.
