Thsnks Addy. I need to drag out the rest of my Christmas stuff. This weekend I have to get indoor stuft out too. Christmas is coming soon and I want to get real tree up too. Can't wait to see how my sweet baby Rio looks under the tree!!

Ha Ha must have been -7 or whatever, some kind of 7. The fingers do not always obey the brain.
Good job on already getting out your Christmas stuff. Looks nice and bright

Colleen here is our Missy at happy hour................

She is just adorable Addy! I see she is living the good life with you in Florida.

Poor little Rio needs me to fix up the greenhouse again quick, and I keep waiting for this so called warmer weather we were supposed to have to get it all cleaned up and back up and running! Now I will have more space without the big jungle and I am going to put a table and chair inside once it is all good as new again for me to sit and have coffee.

Still working of "Potty" training little Rio. It is cold and she does not do well outside in the cold so she had a "p" on the thick mat at the door that is all rubber with little groves so snow melt does not escape, and yellow snow too! It washes right off and it is better the peeing on the little throw rug that I washed again! She is getting better about where she pees, mostly on the "p" pad and that will work till next week, weather man say warmer weather is coming, although he can't always be trusted!

When I used p pads years ago, I put them one spot and trained my pup to p only there. Sort of like outside training. Then as control grew I moved the pad towards the door, he followed it, then finally out the door and he was nicely trained. But it does take a lot of work to get them to pee right. Yorkies are tough to train, they are so independent, stubborn, smart, wonderful little dogs.

Well Rio is ok if I can get her outside lots, but half the time it is too cold and she is so small she freezes quick and starts shaking hard even with her little coat. She is pretty good about going on the pee pads, and eventually I will try that and move them out the door too.

sorry to see your troubles Colleen .But at least it was just the green house as fires can spread fast .I was looking on you tube at the cattle panel green houses .They look easy to build .I like the cattle panel 1 because there is not much wood used .I even thought of adapting it for over the pond as a shade cover .The cattle panel is only 16.99 here .

 

[callingcolleen1]

What is a cattle panel? I will have to look into that. Right now I use heavy duty plastic and I have a wood frame. I will rebuild it soon.

 

[sissy]

Just put it in you tube search .it is a metal fence

The texas prepper does the cattle panels all the way to the ground .Cattle panels are 16 ft long and around 6 ft wide and boy you need some muscle to roll it up to get it in the back of a truck to bring it home
