Lily May joined our family this past Friday. She is 8 weeks old and weighs a whopping 3 lbs. 3 ozs.

Now Ethel finally has someone to play with again. Lucy has been going through some health issues and doesn't play anymore.

The 3 of them get along great and the 2 older ones make Lily behave. The do all get tuckered out by evening though.

CC, I enjoyed the story about "part-time milking" on the website. Took me right back to the farm. Very nearly my first experience with milking was when Dad and my older brother went off deer hunting in eastern Oregon. I know where we were living and I was 6, 7, and 8 while were there. Anyway, they left 3 cows for me to milk and I couldn't have been over 8!! I had 1 (ONE) cow up until that time! Suddenly they were both gone and I had all 3 cows! I doubt if they were gone more than a couple 3 days but this experience left a lasting impression on me! We had 3 farms while I was growing up. Actually, the first one hardly counted because it wasn't ours. Dad worked there a short time so as to acquire some of the dairy herd. Then we went off to a little farm along the Rogue River to start our own dairy. After 3 years, Dad gave up on the dairy idea (heck, what were we going to do with only 3 milk cows?). He got a larger place and picked up some beef cows and a Hereford bull and went into a cow calf operation. It never amounted to much and we kept up to 6 dairy cows so there were always cows to milk throughout my childhood. Anyway, it was fun reading about the Dexter cattle. Gosh, I had trouble milking the Jersey - the teats were so small! Any smaller . . . what's that a 1 finger and a thumb operation? Oh, we had an automatic milking machine but the cows didn't like it, Dad claimed. I wonder if he was lying to us?? Steve's digits

Some good advice here already. I only have to add 'Persevere'. Honestly, it really doesn't take long to get used to what you call 'blandness'. It took me about a week, and now I add salt to nothing at all. If salt is added, I really, really notice it! That blandness isn't bland at all - it's just not salty any more! Up until now, the only thing you've really tasted is the salt - your taste-buds are attuned to salt, and not much else. Give it time, and soon you'll be getting the REAL taste of food! Meantime, keep well away from processed and packaged foods, frozen meals, take-aways etc. Even make your own bread. I can't comment from my own experience, but I do know from people who have travelled to America find the bread 'over there' is incredibly salty compared with what we get over here - make your own instead, using an absolute minimum of salt, or none at all. Use unsalted butter. Keep away from soft-drinks (carbonated colas and such - they have a lot of salt in them). Start using more herbs. Fresh is best, but dried is better than nothing. Here's a couple of salt-substitute herb mixtures you could try. You don't need to follow the recipes exactly if you don't have all the ingredients: Herbal Salt Substitute (1) 1/4 cup dried parsley 1/4 cup dried savory 1/4 cup dried savory 1/4 cup dried thyme 2 tablespoons dried marjoram Grind all ingredients together. Herbal Salt Substitute (2) 3 tablespoons dried basil 3 tablespoons dried marjoram 3 tablespoons dried parsley 3 tablespoons dried thyme 4 1/2 teaspoons dried chives 2 1/2 teaspoons dried paprika 1 1/2 teaspoons dried rosemary 2 1/2 teaspoons onion powder Grind all ingredients together. Meantime, check out this site:

welcome! As someone who is fairly new to birding as well (but absolutely loving it) my suggestion is to educate yourself. But do it in a fun way. If you're a smart phone user, download the Merlin app. It can help you id pretty much anything and you can hear calls and see multiple photos of your subject in question. I have found that once I know more about a particular species it pulls me in more to birding. Through this self education you can help target species you enjoy to frequent your yard. I'm personally in love with woodpeckers so my yard is littered with feeders to attract them. I now have different suet feeders so make Hairy, Red-bellied and Downy woodpeckers and fairly frequent visitors now. Best advice is to have fun!

What a darling face! And David, keep looking at her face; perhaps you will be inspired. You could name it (the inspiration) Ardee (RD-Replacement Dog).

Linda, she's beautiful. I knew when I saw this I was going to see a doxie puppy, somehow.

I have a soft spot for the black-and-tans, but that puppy is just adorable.

I have the Lucy / Ethel model - my neighbors have her sister and her Aunt. We doxie - sit for each other. These dogs (sshh - don't let them hear me call them dogs) all sleep just like yours. They are so wonderful together.
When I opened this thread very early this morning - I said I want one!
Then I had to walk ours in the pouring rain while she couldn't find the "perfect" spot quickly!
Enjoy you sweet puppy!!

What a Cutie Pie. It's always nice to have the older ones teach the youngest the ways of the pack. I always think it livens them up too, looking out for their fair share. It's great having a new furry CF member, and I am certain you're also having a great time checking for teeth marks on all your chair legs!

I could just rub those soft long ears for hours. And I love her name. All dogs should have a middle name, just so they know you are mad when you use it.

Welcome Miss Lily!
