I  won't  be  taking  my  pets     away  from the  house    to  meet  "  friends"

This  is  near the harrisburg  area.  Is  it      CAldonia?  I  know  it's  a  "  C "  word  park

My  question is  ..  Most  farmers  know   the due  dates  of  all    bred animals  and  keep  them  stalled  in  the  barn near  due  dates.  So  why  didn't  this  farmer?  I  have  helped birth  and   pull  cows(  among  other  farm  animals)  with  come  alongs  many  times  but  all  our  mothers  were  stalled    days  before  due  dates  to  ensure  thier  safety  and  help  at  birth  if  needed.  He  was  VERY  lucky  to  save  this  calf!

In  our  house  one  was   my  step  dad's  wife.  He  kept  her  urn  in  the  house  so  she  was  a  flower  smell. Went  went  on  when  her  urn  was  finally  buried. Another  was   just  a  dark    black shadow,  the  prankster/  shower  man.  The  third  was  a  man  that  took  the  form  of  my  brother  at  times   dressed  in  50's    type  clothing  (  cuffed  jeans  and  plaid  shirts)  which  was    kinda  freaky.  He  was  as  my  mother  called  her  guardian  angel.  He  loved  to  jingle  dresser  handles  ect   and  watch  tv  in  her  rocking  chair.  Y es  it  rocked  by  itself. That  freaked  me  out! And  he  loved  to  smoke  weed  ugh! Nothing  like  trying  to  explain  that  to  visitors  tho  most  couldn't  smell  it  we  did . Other  than  that  it  was    dogs  and  cats  that  had  past  on  walking  around  the  house  still  guarding  us.  My  best   story  is    my  collie    sleeping  with  me   and waking  me  up  when  my  son  quit  breathing in  his  sleep  as a   baby.She  doted  on  him  in  life  and  death..  Very  protective

I  lived  in  a  house  as  a  teen   haunted  by  3  ghosts  and  lost  pets  in  Sabula.  I often  want  to  stop  and  ask  the  new  owner  if  they  are  still  there.  Oh  the  stories  of  that  house!  Nothing  really  bad      ever  happened  but  i they  did  like  to  pull  pranks.  Ex.  Turn  the  hot  water  off  when  in  the  shower  if  mad  at  you  or  touch  you...  Nothing  like    a  head  full  of  shampoo  and  someone  grab  you  in  the  shower  when  your  eyes  are  closed!

nah  he's  kinda  cute,  definatly  a  conversation  peice =)

They banned  docking in many  breeds in  Europe. They said it was cruel but then many  dogs had tramatic injurys that were normally docked and  so they had to have it done later in life. WHY? because there was a reason they had them docked as pups later on they had the same  thing happen as yours.. injury!  SO they had to have thier tails amputated. Docking IMO is the same as a lil boy being    circumsized (sp) they do it when they are to young( a few days old) to remember they have no bones( it's  like  your ear before the bone hardens) hence why vets  will only do it  a  right after birth. It prevents pain later in life due to injury. Call around,, ask questions,, explain the situation. Many pitts are docked . It won't hurt him if anything it will help.. no  more infections /pain!.. I have boxers  and let me tell you had they not had thier tails done I would be  in this same situation.. injured tails! Let me tell you that lil nubby can shake like a frieght train!

I have no  decedants in  Rumbarger ( that i know of ,  not originally from here) I wish i could help more... Saying that..  it ticks me that the city lets  and let that cemetary go for years and .. years untouched !  ( when i was a kid it was in shambles some  30 years ago.. might i add the grass was never cut for well over 30 years!) Go to rubble so to speak yet fines people for  not mowing.. doesn't make sense to me..  Dubois as a whole needs to have more respect  for our heritage.. and it's elders  Those  people made our town what it is today .. complain all you want it's true.. Rumbarger is part of our history as a town!! The city should put something aside to help. If they can pay  overrated charges  to mow yards around town that haven't been mowed  surley they can pay  to mow that cemetary out of respect  for those buried there and  historical preservation..  I see Rumbarger as a top priority...JMO

Ughhhhhh  glad i hate tomatoes sorry for all that lost thier crop.

I love the tea . How do you make it and how can you find it? Another question. Where around Dubois can you find teaberries? Love them  but I haven't found them in years.When we lived on the farm in Berwinsdale ( BFE to us Pa hickabillies lol)  they were all over... Childhood Yummy!
