Deanna's conserved posts! RE: Newbie question about weight loss - and poop and dogs

[Guest guest]

go go gadget deanna!

ok. here's my thoughts:

my naturopath muscle-tested a while back and said that my liver had stalled

my weight loss. i wasn't gaining or losing for a while...so i started doing

burdock and dandelion root tea and my liver got happier. and? i'm losing

weight again, so there ya go. worth a try!

it sounds to me like you should lay off the corn, chickie... i haven't had

corn in SO long, i don't remember what it does to me, but i do remember

that it often goes through undigested. that can't be good.

as for poultry...we did have two dogs: one a sled dog and one a basset.

both were hunting dogs and once the farm got going in full swing, they

tried to eat the sheep and the piglets. we had to find them non-farm homes,

which was terribly sad. however, the chickens do just fine with the cats,

cause the chickens are big enough to hold their own against the cats (who

are still pretty darned young). i think that if you get a dog as a little

pup, and make sure your chickens are good sized before you get him, and be

a big careful about the breed, you should be totally fine. around here

everyone has farm dogs (mostly labs it seems) and they all seem to know

better than to move beyond harassment of chickens.

party! partypartypartyparty party!!
