12:36 am

hurshy

if you are going to be addicted to something, it's good to have something that still gives you that same thrill after years and years, lol

12:37 am

sandyloo

I have a problem, we have a new puppy and our sheep chase her when I take her for a walk. I know she will soon stand up to them. However when I google how to stop sheep chasing the dog it will only come up with 'dogs chasing sheep" LOL I have tried lots of ways of googling but with no success

12:37 am

m9f9l

v's vanquished!

12:37 am

hurshy

that is funny, sandy

12:37 am

hurshy

can't you just walk her somewhere the sheep aren't?

12:38 am

sandyloo

It's hilarious but not for the puppy with 50 sheep chasing her

12:38 am

m9f9l

the only thing I can find about sheep chasing a dog is "pet sheep chases dog away from its ball"

12:38 am

sandyloo

I do Hurshy , I look for them before I take her and go in the opposite direction

12:39 am

sandyloo

and I pick her up when they get too close

12:39 am

hurshy

or if you had also a large dog and walked them together

12:39 am

sandyloo

LOL m9 I couldn't even get that

12:40 am

sandyloo

No she is the only dog - I know she will dominate them soon but I still would like to google it

12:40 am

hurshy

put it in quotes

12:40 am

hurshy

then the words have to appear in that order

12:42 am

sandyloo

ok i will try that

12:42 am

m9f9l

And this from the 1968 Los Angeles Times: How to train a sheepdog A fancier appeals for help in training; her sheepdog; to herd, as the sheep chase the dog. Give the dog; obedience training first so he will heel, sit-stay, down-stay, stand-stay, and stop whatever he's doing when you give a quick blast on a whistle. Then rent two to four gentle, movable sheep, not ones that are bullies or stubborn.

12:43 am

hurshy

"Wanted to Rent: Two Gentle, Movable Sheep"

12:44 am

hurshy

"Bullies Need Not Apply"

12:45 am

hurshy

"Not You Either, Harold. We All Know How Stubborn You Are."

12:45 am

sandyloo

LOL I tried that quote thing, it says no results found and reverts to dogs chasing sheep. You are good at googling m9 - better than me thats for sure

12:46 am

sandyloo

She will be ok when she is a little bigger but I dont trust the sheep with her at this stage she is too small (jack russell 9weeks old)

12:46 am

sandyloo

Our other Jack was a very good herder

12:46 am

hurshy

you could fill up a big thing with water and put it in a wagon and put a hose in with a sprayer nozzle and pull it with you on the walk and then when the sheep come you spray them and they get mad and go 'way

12:47 am

hurshy

unless sheep like being sprayed, of course.

12:47 am

sandyloo

LOL Hurshy hillarious - there is a funny clip on facebook "world's worst sheepdog"

12:54 am

m9f9l

Probably the same clip that is in this article: https://tinyurl.com/67qbown and it does say that the mistake was putting the dog in with the sheep as a puppy.

12:55 am

m9f9l

Oh.. you probably mean the one with Nelson. Cute little dog!

1:03 am

sandyloo

yes I do (Nelson) Well I guess i am doing the right thing by keeping her safe from them now.

1:08 am

sandyloo

just watched that clip m9 . It is a lot like our sheep except they are more so. I will make sure she is old enough before I let her face them alone

1:14 am

rubyfoo

Good morning

1:14 am

m9f9l

Yeah. Reminds me of my part border collie. He's afraid of children and little dogs.

1:14 am

sandyloo

hey ruby how are you today

1:14 am

sandyloo

Nearly time for the Tour

1:15 am

rubyfoo

I refuse to whine publicly!

1:15 am

sandyloo

LOL good for you , I have just been whining about my inability to google

1:15 am

rubyfoo

The Tour will enable me to stay in bed for 3 weeks!

1:16 am

sandyloo

If I stay up and watch it it will cause me to stay in bed during the day. I used to be able to go without sleep but these days I'm not so good but I am going to try

1:17 am

rubyfoo

Not googling is probably a good idea because after googling anything, you become a target of specifically focussed ads and spam

1:17 am

sandyloo

I saw that on the news today

1:18 am

m9f9l

I google all sorts of things every day and don't really have a problem with ads and spam...

1:18 am

sandyloo

I don't have a problem either as I am only on the computor for email and this

1:19 am

rubyfoo

I googled "whey" on day because I eat curds and way every day and wanted to know if it had food value. Ever since,I've received ads for dried whey ad other dietary suppléments. Next, they'll be advertising "tuffets"

1:19 am

rubyfoo

curds and whey

1:20 am

rubyfoo

Or little frilly dresses

1:20 am

jbp

so come on down to Tuffetz R us!

1:20 am

sandyloo

LOL I have never eaten whey, can you describe it?

1:20 am

rubyfoo

hahah

1:21 am

sandyloo

or curds

1:21 am

jbp

isn't it like cottage cheese> or is that the curds.

1:21 am

sandyloo

ooh I love cottage cheese

1:21 am

rubyfoo

The French call it "petit lait'; it's the liquid that comes out of solidified milk (in maing cheese)

1:22 am

sandyloo

Is it like Yakult?

1:23 am

rubyfoo

Similar to cottage cheese but smoother (the curds) and the whey is slightly slty and a bit sour, a perfect sip for hot days

1:23 am

rubyfoo

<-- eats too much dairy

1:23 am

sandyloo

sounds nice

1:25 am

jbp

ta 7 iuf not called

1:25 am

rubyfoo

Most people eat the curds with raspberry "coulis" (a thin sauce) but I just add sugar and eat it on the deck in th sunshine

1:25 am

rubyfoo

Now to "work" hahah

1:31 am

rubyfoo

Would somebody please make me another coffee?

1:31 am

rubyfoo

rash

1:32 am

sandyloo

great I didn't have that

1:32 am

rubyfoo

sorry, nel will stop talking

1:32 am

m9f9l

It's good not to have that one :-)

1:33 am

sandyloo

lucky me but I have it now

1:40 am

rubyfoo

This is a nice chunky grid!

1:41 am

Lizlin

Hi all, hi and hugs, Ruby.

1:41 am

Lizlin

Last night I watched a cooking programme set in Annecy - what beautiful surroundings you live in.

1:42 am

rubyfoo

Unfortunhately, Annecy = bad càoking (unless the like fondu)

1:42 am

rubyfoo

and hello Liz

1:43 am

sandyloo

What show was that Liz?

1:43 am

Lizlin

They showed an amazing cheese shop - Pierre Gay, I think it was.

1:43 am

Lizlin

An English chef - James Martin - he's travelling around France

1:44 am

sandyloo

I thought I might get it also as I am in australia So is it called "An English Chef"

1:45 am

rubyfoo

Yes, the cheese here is great and the old part of town has unrestored 18th c; buildings

1:45 am

Lizlin

No - James Martin's French adventures

1:45 am

sandyloo

I will keep an eye out

1:46 am

sandyloo

Foxtell?

1:46 am

Lizlin

I love cheese! They showed some of the older part of town and a lot of the lake.

1:46 am

rubyfoo

Aaahh, French adventures -- I've had my share!

1:46 am

sandyloo

Hmm, I bet you have!!

1:47 am

rubyfoo

It is really beautiful here, but too many tourists, very few of them American

1:48 am

Lizlin

It looks beautiful. Perhaps one day I'll get to that area.

1:48 am

sandyloo

Where are most tourists from? In Margs we get a lot from Singapore, Chilli, Argentina, France

1:49 am

rubyfoo

Here the tourists come from Italy and Switzerland on their motocycles (scary-looking 70 year-old with white beard and black lezther garb, on their Harleys. It's really a hoot!

1:50 am

Lizlin

sounds like fun.

1:50 am

rubyfoo

Some English, too

1:50 am

Lizlin

Need to get something to eat - just back from the gym. BBL.

2:36 am

sprite

yes, I believe it does, if I remember correctly

2:36 am

Lizlin

I've read one or two - long time ago. Based around the racing world if I remember right.

2:37 am

sprite

yes, there is always some link to the racing word or horses. He is a marvelous writer, I have been rereading his books and found them very enjoyable again.

2:38 am

Lizlin

I don't really remember.

2:38 am

sprite

I'll drop you a few.

2:38 am

7:38 pm

good for you. I am still hours away from that

7:38 pm

cybernan

yes it is--the old one too. The lake has dropped 4 inches in the last 2 weeks, so I think the worst is over. It is, however, a big lake and even with the dam gates wide open it will be at least another month before it is at normal levels.

7:39 pm

my father grew up in Kelowna and I have never heard of it flooding before

Billy (as the family called him) was quite a bit older than me but I loved watching him waterski .

7:49 pm

I just remember that Uncle Charles had a player piano which I loved and lived right on the lake. They had a dock in their back yard

7:50 pm

Bugsaw

The world just gets smaller and smaller. Did that area get flooded?

7:51 pm

cybernan

I think those who had basements had water there and some in crawl spaces, but most of those houses have 3 to 6 steps up to the main floor.

7:52 pm

Bugsaw

Oh good. Water can cause so many problems. The biggest one is smell

7:52 pm
