Ouch. Stretches?
This weekend, I ended up walking a total of 44-ish miles from Friday to this morning. Because it was done exclusively while working, I was in rubber boots the entire time. Now, my lower back is screaming and my knees ache. Anyone got any good stretches to relieve a little agony?

The Year of Murphy's Law
Ugh, it's been a hell of a year here. We have seen almost everything: Rescuing goats, and sadly losing two. Hubby losing his job...twice. Hubby finding a new job...at a $13/hour pay cut. TWO emergency surgeries on pets. Losing animals to old age/illness. The summer garden was doomed due to ONE seed packet being incorrect…

In need of Positivity.
I have a four (five in Jan) year old husky mix named Harley Quinn. Sunday, she had a lump in her neck that appeared in a matter of hours. Gave her a Benadryl and went to bed, thinking it would be gone in the morning. So Monday, when it goes from almond sized to golf ball...we notice. Vet is called. Appointment Wed. By…

Letsp lay a guessing game!
I got three goats. One turned out to be pregnant. We don't know when she was bred, and she's as big as a house now. SO I want you all to guess when she will be due (I'm betting Halloween myself, my husband thinks sooner). I think she's having twins. Im hoping twin girls. Hubby thinks 3, and two will be girls. He also…

Bored Housewife seeks buddies?
Hi everyone! I'm Kelsi (the K in K&G Ranch). I'm 24 and live in Texas. I raise or grow my own food, and I have chickens, ducks, rabbits, and goats as well as cats and dogs. My husband went back to work after a long layoff this morning and it looks like I'm in for a long day! I've already fed the animals, scrubbed water…

Day one...again.
First I got injured...then I had livestock getting sick back to back to back...then I had to rebuild shelters for livestock.... Today (knock on wood) I am back in the saddle. I hope to begin my road (back) to fitness. I need to lose 16lbs/10% body fat/3 jeans sizes (any of the above will make me happy). I'm jumping right…

Anyone going to veterinary school?
I'm throwing this out here since its a worldwide site! What year are you in-and what are the top 10-15 books/supplies that you could not do without (of course not counting things like a good thermometer and stethoscope).

Track running:a rant
Please stop walking shoulder to shoulder with your small herd of people. You are not playing Red Rover, you are blocking the whole track and making faster traffic dart into the grass to get around you. "Excuse me," or, "on your left" is not the appropriate moment to stop walking dead in your tracks, especially considering…

Times?
What are your times for running A mile 5k 10k Half marathon? I'm always curious to see what times everyone makes :) I ran sprints in track back in the day so anything up to 1/4 mile and I'm GREAT. I hit that second lap and I sound like a drowning water buffalo. So I can do the 5k and 10k and average a 14-15 minute mile but…

Knee swelling?
Anyone have a good remedy? I have lateral distoid meniscus and basically have no cartilage left in my inner knees. Wraps are out, they hold my legs exactly where it rubs bone on bone. I started running again and the swelling and pain are getting out of hand. Any good ideas?

Hello!
This year, I started a trap line, hatched meat chickens, got ducks, started raising meat rabbits, purchased dairy goats, and tripled my garden size. Then I put on my favorite shorts. Well, if you can call it putting them on. I scooted them to my thighs. These stinking things were baggy last year! Not cool. So today is day…
