Penny...what a wonderful, beautiful and inspiring video that is! Thanks for sharing it! We have a gentleman at our church that lost his arm to agent orange from Vietnam. He refuses to wear his artificial arm and does everything for himself. The only thing he hasn't yet been able to do is tie his shoes but he is still trying to after about 10 yrs. or so. And he has a great sense of humor about it, too. What an inspiration to everyone! |

How old does a kitten need to be in order to be spayed? I want to do it before Wednesday starts spraying so hopefully she won't spray. |

I believe they say at 6 weeks, but if you go a few days or week before that I've heard that you have a better chance of stopping their future spraying! This is all if my memory serves me right! ![]() Oh, maybe it was 6 months? I guess don't count on what I'm saying as being correct! I'll have to ask the cat expert at work tomorrow.

Karen I think for a female 4 to 6 month to be spayed but I have never had a female sprayed I think that is a male thing. I could be wrong.

LOL they only get their mail the first day they arrive at the Ranch and then the last day when they come in off the trail - they are only in base camp 24 hours arriving for shakedown/medical recheck/training - and then 2r hours at the end to sort out equipment/call mom/take a SHOWER/pack up to go home! No mail or communication when on the trail. First time gary went I won the mail count! LOL But last time he went, one of the kids beat him out AND his mom sent him a package of cookies/brownies/etc - waiting for them when they came off the trail! LOL Thank you for the offer to mail cards but there are thousands of kids/adults there on any given day so....... they wouldn't be able to handle a cruzer mailing But if you want to send me a card for him within the next week it might find it's way into a package that I could send him that I could do ....... I have to have any package in the mail to him by July 27 to be sure it gets to him..... so ....let me know!

Deb, you said thousands of kid??? so they take turns going out on a certain trail and another behind them and on and on ??? I always thought ES and his boys were all alone!!! OK I've ditched the card marathon thing but might get a card off for your package... :rolleyes: |

Yes Barb - you have to be a certain age/rank to be able to go to the high adventure bases (FL sea base - Philmont Ranch - etc.) The boys who don't go with gary on the trek in NM will go with me to our regular summer camp upstate in another week! 3 of our scouts went with gary last time - 1 is going this time! but we know all the other leaders/scouts very well! Yes Lala - the Ranch runs treks all summer and it's like clockwork - a crew arrives - 24 hours later they are on the trail doing the program that they picked - 9 days later they come back to base camp and 24 hours later they are on a plane home. This year there are 35 different treks to choose from so every day - but it is only 1 crew hiking - never sistered up or hiking with any other crew. It will just be the 12 of them. And most of the time - they never see anyone else until they get to a staffed base camp. Some nights they even sleep alone in an outpost camp and every couple days they sleep at a staffed camp - get food there for next several days and check in so that Philmont knows they aren't lost! They do program at those camps too. This year they will do homesteading, mexican dinner, fly tying and fishing, hunting lodge tour, 3-D archery, conservation project, homesteading, black powder rifle, spar pole climbing, more shooting, western lore, horse ride, branding of boots and lots of hiking! |

their book says they host 21,000 + hikers during the summer season! Philmont is large, comprising 137,493 acres or about 215 square miles of rugged mountain wilderness in the Sangre de Cristo (Blood of Christ) range of the Rockies. and they have permission to use Ted Turner's land and some park land as well - gary's first couple of hikes were there - they were totally wilderness hiking! about 400 kids/adults arrive every morning and 400 kids/adults go home every morning - and thousands are on the trail at any given time! the property was donated by Waite Phillips of Phillips 66 / Oil I've been there several times and it's a spectacular place! |

For some reason I got a flash of a picture of a man on horseback with a pouch under his arm (or a saddle) full of packages and mail and cookies delivering to 400 kids and scout leaders on the trail. Everyday!!! :lol: NOT!!!! :lol: |

My girlfriend in Colorado saw "her" eagle again this morning. It was on a different blind today. She lives in Brighton, Co. She shared another pic with me that she took this morning. 


This is all if my memory serves me right!
