The ...Stink Bugs!!!!<br />Just the name sounds horrible.<br />The weather here can get so cold,<br />-30C with the wind chill, so it is hard for a lot of different types of bug to survive. That's a blessing.<br />We were hit hard years ago with earwigs at the old house but again they have died out somewhat from the freezing temp.The Witchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02021866057255311124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-84910840710762660812009-12-16T16:14:31.213-05:002009-12-16T16:14:31.213-05:00Hey Guys,

We didn't know that there were any other packs like ours is such close proximity. We came across your comment on Mogley's blog under unfortunate circumstance. We are still in shock over the death of Agnes. It is such a sad situation. Fortunately Mogley, Bella, the Chauffer and the House Keeper gave Agnes the loving and caring home that she was searching for. <br />It sounds like y'all have as many mis-adventures as we all do down here. Jubal is always taking off on "walks" to the lake to go swimming (our side is heated year round) and he always brings back fox tail stickers. Dad has been walking the neighborhood more than one night with the big flashlight search for either Jubal or Sophie or Homer. homer doesn't have out front privileges anymore becuase of his tendency to vacate the front yard. We don't seem to have the stink bug problem here but we sure have a deer tick problem. Our mom and dad are going out of town tonight but will be back Sunday night and we plan on exploring your back blog posts. Dad is always crossing through I-64 doing rescue transports for Almost Heaven Golden Retriever Rescue and Sanctuary up in Delray, WV. We have a blind dog in our pack, Radar, and we had a blind brother, Gordon, who went to The Rainbow Bridge, two years ago this coming January 20th, when he was like 16 years old. Mom and dad rescued him when he was 10 and totally blind. Radar is also a rescue who was born blind, his eyes never fully developed. Heck, maybe next summer y'all can come down for a swimming and picnic play date. Dad says it's funny how Northern VA people describe their distance from D.C. in time units rather than distance units. He used to work in Crytsal City and mom worked at the Navy Yard and in the Pentagon before moving to a job at Quantico. She is retired now and going to LVT school out at Blue Ridge Community College on I-81. Hopefully you're west of D.C. and we can travel rurally and not on I-95. We'll catch y'all next week.<br />- Homer J., Jubal, J.E.B., Sophie, Shelby Belle, Jackson, Abby, Max, Shiloh, Radar, Alex, Boru and Jenny = The Bumpass Hounds and Kitties (TBH&K)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-66681470381544725052009-12-16T16:03:04.467-05:002009-12-16T16:03:04.467-05:00I could give you a plethera of reasons why you lov...I could give you a plethera of reasons why you love the country. The first two words that come to mind are....city traffic!! Greenville, NC is probably just over a quarter of a million people, not a big city by a lot of standards. But I hate my drive home from one side of town to the other just to get to Winterville, where I live in the coutry...ish. Not in town, anyway!

Lots of people say they vacuum them off the leaves and branches (yes thats what I said lol) and then dispose of them in the rubbish in a sealed cleaner bag. I don't have a lemon or orange tree so its not a problem for me. <br />Love reading about the day to day lives of your lovely dogs - good luck with the eye treatment for Tanner, lets hope it really works. <br />Had to laugh at trying to find the dog in the dark with the torch - one of our Burmese cats is a Brown (called Sable in USA circles) her coat is very deep glossy brown and its fun - I don't think - trying to find her in the dark She knows she shouldn't be out then but if its windy she manages to evade me when its coming in time and plays games in the bushes - seems to know I cna't see her. When calling her doesn't work I have to resort to looking in the bushes with the torch, then she miraculously wanders up behind me - I know full well she's been hiding somewhere watching me as I get more and more annoyed lol<br />Take care<br />CathyCathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15065980166009732571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-51854245647306420422009-12-15T01:17:55.425-05:002009-12-15T01:17:55.425-05:00Wow, I learned something new!

Two summers ago a skunk got in our cellar. Yep, and decided to spray. OMG, it woke us out of a dead sleep. It took months for that odor to slink away!! Skunk as roadkill smells nothing like the hideous smell we had in our home!<br /><br />I wish your family a beautiful Holiday in the country. Stink bugs and all!<br />Blessings, Misha~from my front porch in the mountains~https://www.blogger.com/profile/18103990196491433325noreply@blogger.com
