    It's totally fine to be all matchy if you want -- I confess I have a wee bit of fun, although part of my fun is horrifying the DQs when I use a *gasp* navy pad in the sandbox, hee.

    But having...

    I really like his build as well, especially behind. And nice bone (I hate deer legs, LOL) and nice expression. I'm with Roma, I like big, beefy joints too! Plenty of good names on paper already...

    Ah reality. While I don't miss school at all and I much prefer working, "overworked and underpaid" is not an exaggeration. Not an accountant, but friends are. I think at this point, unless you are...

    It will indeed be fine. Let it dry out thoroughly, inside. Then just condition/oil the leather. Cows don't melt.

    Jacksonville is part of my work area (well, I do cover 1/3 of the state, LOL) -- there's really not much out there. Especially not horsey retail type stuff. There are some scattered farms and horse...

    SMF -- very true, and we have a TON of seed ticks (the teeeeeny ones) here, they are awful. DEET and permethrin sprays seem to be about as effective as spit on them although sometimes if you are...

    ROFL, msj, it would be a very smelly hug and I fear that it would have a not-very-pleasant ending for you.

    PM, I can answer that one, LOL: if you step on a snapping turtle, they go HISSSSS! and...

    PS -- I work for our state wildlife agency and we print snake, amphibian, and fish ID posters. Other animals (bats, birds, etc) are available in poster form from several different universities. So...

    Yes, I am a wildlife biologist.

    As you correctly observe, most equine deaths from snakebites are indeed from suffocation as a result of swelling around a bite on the nose and yes, bites are most...

    I work on a regular basis in waters with snapping turtles -- it is fine. They only get pissed and try to bite you if you grab them and try to give them a big hug. So as long as you are not doing...

    Beyond making sure the axles are appropriate for the weight the trailer is rated to carry and in good repair, I doubt the axle difference is affecting price. If they are all the same brand and same...

    In NC -- don't bother. No one told the ticks here they were supposed to care. The best thing we can do is to do a careful check every day. Generally, ticks do not begin to feed until they have...

    Erm, no. That is completely erroneous. All water-dwelling snakes feed on fish. When they are hungry. I am "aggressive" when I am hungry as well. Or tired. Or cold. Or...ok, a lot. Attempting...

    At 4' long, in a house, it is probably a harmless rat snake (garter snakes don't get that big, king snakes feed only on other snakes, a water snake in a house would be just...weird). Sigh. ...

    I'd agree that my first suspicion would be hocks and that is completely due to my experience with my older guy. While he does have back issues as well, his hocks definitely contributed to exactly...

    Sell it for a nice price before (a) it breaks or (b) it settles in enough to start goofing off, ROFL!
