Very nice place.
Hope you are able to relax and have some down time once you get all settled in. |

If you are getting dogs...may I suggest hounds. We have a basset and coon hound. When they "sing" outside at night...it is almost like music. Just not as pleasant when the basset hound does it in the back seat. We are wearing earplugs to get her used to "rides". Get a Basset, Blue Tick, Bloodhound and a Dachshund and you will have a entire chorus in that kennel.
When we lived in the middle of 60 acres....I used AVON'S Skin So Soft and it kept ticks and chiggers at bay. If you have dogs, I highly recommend Front line. It costs a few, but I have found nothing better for fleas and ticks even in the country. I think you will find Missouri a great place to live. I moved here from Kansas and have never looked back. I have a great metal "poster" in my mud room of Dorothy and her dog looking at Emerald City with the caption of "I don't think we are in Kansas any more, Toto." She is so right.

Thanks, all. We've been so busy trying to get everything lined up for the move, getting our mortgage in the works, both closings, inspections, termite inspections, appraisals, etc that I have had little time to keep up here. Not to mention that I am so burned out on politics right now.
Nope, we're not going to be raising dogs. The little building that is set up for dog grooming is going to eventually be a summer kitchen with either a wood and or gas stove. We will probably leave the big pen to put our dog in when we have to be gone for awhile but the little 6x6 foot "playhouse" is destined to become a smokehouse. The small row of dog pens with the roof over them are going to be torn out and we are going to put picnic tables, the grille, fish frier and smoker out there for outdoor cookouts. The roof will be enlarged to cover the whole thing. The big training pen in the grassy area will probably be removed as well. It would probably make a good prison compound if the SHTF but I won't be taking prisoners....

Welcome to Missouri~~
I don't get ticks or chiggers either. I always get Frontline on my fingers when I'm dosing the dog and cat....so don't worry about putting it on the back of your neck or between your shoulder blades...fingers are good. Its HOT here but whoa Nellie........I see some big old cooling thunder storms dropping off I44...should git me soon ...unless the system splits over the Salem Plateau. It's so green in my part of MO...it's like an Easter Basket. We even have the rabbits to go along with that. Happy Moving Day!
