How to deworm the pups
CAUTIONARY NOTE! ONLY FOR FENBENDAZOLE aka PANACUR aka sold OTC at feedstores as SAFEGUARD! NEVER USE IVERMECTIN ON COLLIE BREEDS or MIXED BREEDS OF UNCERTAIN PARENTAGE!!
1. Go to the feedstore and purchase Safe-Guard (Fenbendazole) Dewormer for Goats, 10% Suspension (100 mg/ml);
2. Weigh the hairy beasts. Oh yea, good luck with that. If all else fails, guesstimate based on vet visits where unsuspecting vet techs were forced to wrangle the hairy beasts onto the scary scale;
3. Accord to the vet at The Psychotic Farmers Forum [note, please, that the vet is not insane, although the forum owner and his cadres are]:
Safeguard=Fenbendazole=227mg/10#=2.27ml/10# (yes dogs get 10X the dose per pound compared to horses) [ed.'s note: and 10X the dose per pound compared to ruminants {aka goats}]
4. Measure using a pipette from Sunrose Aromatics, or convert to teaspoons, with 1 ml = 1/5 teas. and 5 ml = 1 teas.;
5. Hide in sardines packed in water, canned dog food (doggie junk food, imho) or treat of your choice;
6. Enjoy not only the money saved by deworming without a vet visit and resulting prescription, but hairy beasty frolicking after completion of worming, and sometimes during, before and for no reason whatsoever.
A ^%$$# palmetto bug crawled up one of my walls last night.

Ack I shouldn’t be allowed before I’ve finished my second pot of coffee.
But WHATEVER! Here’s the plan of attack for the fucking palmetto bugs.
1. Boric acid along all walls and entrances and in all cabinets
2. Resort to petrochemical hazards in the crawlspace
No way can I keep an immaculate house, as has been suggested. That isn’t going to happen.
I HATE those things too! ICK!
A suggestion-around any pipes, like under the sink where the water comes in and goes out, stuff some steel wool. It’s tight enough and cheap enough that you can use alot and it will keep the crawlies out. Be sure no pipes are leaking. Boric acid is good. If you can keep it away from the dogs, roll small balls of cold bacon grease in boric acid and place them in the crawlies pathways-the little suckers can’t resist it!
Good ideas.
Palmetto bugs, prepare for battle!!!!!
I wrote and thought I posted a long comment about Heartgard and Frontline and a crazy acquaintance who is pushing a magical device called a Shoo Tag which is a magnet that supposedly “expands” the animal’s personal magnetic fields to repel fleas and ticks and chiggers without harming either the dog or the pest.
I have no idea where it went.
I’ve had some odd things happen this weekend – maybe last, too, I don’t remember – when posting. It’s been especially a problem when I tried to insert a pic. Inserting a pic would cause the whole thing to go poof, so I ended up giving up.
The site is rebelling!
Oh, I hope not. I just wrote a draft email to all my clients saying that basically, I’m tired and don’t want to burn out and effective immediately my hours are 7:30 – 4:30 Monday through Friday, no holidays. I’m tired of getting emails early on Saturday morning wanting to know what my schedule is for work this weekend.
If the site’s rebelling, I’ll have to fix it even though it’s Sunday!
Take into consideration I’m working on an ancient Mac. A lot of sites rebel on me.
But I don’t care. I’m subscribing to HULU anyway!!!!!!
You should make your hours 7:30 – 11:30, 12:30 – 4:30. You need a lunch break, young lady. ::folds arms, taps foot, looks stern::
Most of them took it very well. I even got half a dozen “You go, girl!!” emails. Except, of course, the worst abuser, who is completely pissed that I would dare set boundaries! Don’t I realize that weekends and nights are the only times she can work, and I must be on tap to satisfy her every whim at 3 am????
Worst case, she finds someone else and goes away. At this point, I’m thinking that might be the best case.
