[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1665488, member: 16453"] Red, we pulled the pin on the chooks. Do you want to buy a new chook caravan. The work of it all was just a bit too much for the reward along with statutory health requirements that were over the top. Along with that Jo's health has not been too good, she fatigues very easily and got to the point she was having difficulty speaking and coordination. She has an appointment with a neurologist coming so the smart thing was to pull the pin on it. I am a bit overwhelmed with working dogs at the moment, wasn't planned to have Millie back of course but she will never be leaving here again. When I worked the cows 2 weeks ago I locked up the two kelpies after we got them in but left Millie loose. She was very good, I bring the cows up from the outer holding yards in small groups to work and because they are so quite the are a real mongrel to get them to move but Millie took it on herself to give me a hand and was very calm yet effective, once we got them up she went outside to the shade of the tank and waited patiently until I went for the next lot. i just got to wait for the kelpies to settle like that now. It was sad about Ray, he was not overweight nor smoked but he did have a constant battle with alcohol and depression and little exercise. All coronary arteries were clogged up and unbeknown to us his health had been deteriorating over the last 6 mths with a lot of fluid accumulating, congestive heart failure. He wouldn't go to the doctors and avoided seeing the family to get him to help. I feel it would have been very treatable with medication and surgery. He was a very talented musician, singer song writer (guitar). I guess he went the way of a lot in the music industry with battles you don't see on the surface. Ken [/QUOTE]
