Can we fix the only access road to our Off Grid farm? Is the digger up to the task?

    Sarah, I LOVE the base kitty drawing and the finished work is just gorgeous. What a "lovely" gift for the vet clinic. And great use of it for prints. The departure of the baby piggies is indeed bittersweet. Sad but also a relief for you. I hope you have a good winter with time for more such awesome projects.
    Luke, YAAAY for Constance!! I'm SO happy for you!! Hope that pin does the trick 👍.
    Take care you guys!! See you next time.

    For Molly's anxiety, try putting a small t-shirt on her. I did that with my dog and it helped. It should not be oversized and tight enough to feel like a gentle hug. Xx

    So sorry about Molly she is so smart and sweet it bothers me she is so afraid. I just love her. Poor baby.❤ Talk to the vet about some anxiety meds possibly. There may be an over the counter mmd.She can take that wouldn't be so expensive.

    Sarah, as said above, you can put a t shirt on Molly, that fits just enough for her to feel secure. Or wrap her in her favourite blanket. You can also play classical music for her, Dogs who suffer with anxiety, respond very well to it. When idiot people are letting off stupid fire crackers, turn up the volume of the music. Most important though, don't make a big fuss, try and carry on as normal. Tissue salts for stress and anxiety work too. Ask your vet for calming tablets, they will be best. We are trying very hard in South Africa to get fire works banned, they cause such horrific damage. Sending lots of love as always 💗

    pheromone diffusers can help, especially if used before the light goes to quell her anxiety as it gets dark. Also a secure dark place, our old dog loved to go in the shower room with the light off, think the tiles maybe deadened sound. I think changes in dogs ears as they age maybe makes it worse until they get too deaf to hear the fireworks.

    You probably already know this but around here on the login roads in order to stop them from getting washed out they usually put a ditch on the high side of the road alongside of it and then they put little tiny dips in the road on an angle downwards all the way down the logging road so when the water runs down the road it runs off the side of the bank it can be a little bit of a pain going through those little tiny dips but it's better than losing your whole road I'm sure you probably already watched videos on roads but just Saying And the way we used to build ditches in my grandfather's farm fields without costing any money was took a lot of time and a lot of work but it was cheap is one rock on one side one rock on the other side and one on top went down the whole field doing that and then he would throw cardboard plastic down old plastic and old cardboard and then fill the ditch back inAnd I tell you I was a teenager and he was like 60 or 70 years old that old fart would outwork me anytime still remember him with his little drippers sweat on the end of his nose🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Poor Molly❤. Perhaps some past life trauma with loud noises. If the rockets were near, the loudness hurts the dog’s hearing. Panic sets in as she’s looking for escape. My dogs hate fireworks too and cry. I distract them with treats/their favourite cheddar cheese and give them big cuddles. Some times of year are a nightmare for dogs in Portugal. I think you are doing everything right to soothe her.

    Yeah machines can get pretty gross oil and sludge and stuff I remember I got hired by my a boss that I used to work for him to service RV's in his camp and he got me to crawl in a monk's bunch of hoses and stuff down in a sloop it was all covered and sludge and stuff because he was too lazy to take the cab floor off I had to cut the hydraulic lines so that they tracks would move so they could load it and get it out of the dry land sort because they were told that they had to get it out of there and it was an old rock driller machine well I tell you for one he didn't tell me how much tension was in their lines and when they blew off they broke the grinder disks like nothing just both took my fingers and everything off and then I just woke up stuck in there and started panicking because I when you're stuck in a hole it gets kind of panicky to get out by the time I got out of that hole I was absolutely covered in grace and oil he paid me quite a bit of money I think it was like $400 for a half hour job but never again never again for one I wrecked my grinder and it sorted out my generator which cost me $600 so when in the end I lost money because he didn't pay for my generator or anything else so I've never worked for the man again it's just like when I was working in camp you have to get flowing in by a plane and a lot of the time she stopped paying me travel time he used to pay me travel time halfway when his boss was paying him to pay me but when it came time for him to pay me he got real cheap so I stopped flying into camp for him he bugged me for years to work for him and I said no not worth it he came to my rv boss's pl to hire me because he heard how good I was I'd fixing rv's made really good money the first year I worked there the first year he even gave me a $4000 bonus but that was when his boss was paying my wage then his boss wanted me to come in camp and And work on their surveyors camp last time I was there that he put me through a test I called it a test to fix certain jobs but he didn't have any parts and wanted me to fix the problems that they gave me with no parts so I said no I'm not doing it I already work for an RV rental company that doesn't buy parts for the RVS and I have a big enough problem with that so no couldn't pay me enough And on top of it I was taking time off my regular job I would get two weeks holidays so I worked my two weeks holidays on this man's rvs that the road dealers stayed in there was 8 RV he was using for a camp

    Sarah, you are an artist! Love the print. Molly, have you tried to cover her back with something slightly heavy, it seems to calm them down. Children with anxiety, they make a blanket they can wear or just cover in and it helps them be calm. Don't know how that works with dogs, as for Molly, she is definitely worth it. Seen it, never thought about it until today. When Timmy is running down the road or through the tall grass, his tail sticks straight up with the tip curved. lol. Hope Lukes pin works for his digger. Take care and will see you next week.

    A dog with an "extreme fear of fireworks" experiences significant distress and anxiety when exposed to the loud noises and flashing lights, often exhibiting behaviors like hiding, trembling, panting, pacing, whining, or even attempting to escape due to perceiving the fireworks as a threat, triggering a strong "fight or flight" response; this fear is often referred to as noise aversion in dogs and can be managed with strategies like creating a safe space, providing comfort, playing calming sounds, and in severe cases, consulting a veterinarian for anxiety medication.
    How to help a dog with extreme fear of fireworks:
    Create a safe space: Designate a quiet room in your house where your dog can retreat to during fireworks, providing comfortable bedding and familiar toys.
    Calming sounds: Play white noise or calming music to mask the sound of fireworks.
    Distraction techniques: Engage your dog with their favorite toys or treats during fireworks to distract them from the noise.
    Stay calm yourself: Dogs can sense your anxiety, so remain calm and reassuring to help them feel more secure.
    Exercise beforehand: Tire your dog out with a good walk before fireworks to help them relax.
    Consider medication: Consult your veterinarian about anxiety medication if other methods are not effective, especially for dogs with severe fear.
    Desensitization training: With professional guidance, gradually expose your dog to recorded fireworks sounds at a low volume, increasing the volume gradually while rewarding calm behavior.
