Typically on a Wednesday I tell you all about my latest recipe and do a biggest loser recap. Well there will be no biggest loser recap today because I haven't watched it yet.
But I have a
yummy beef stew to share! It makes six servings and the calories are for 6 servings however you can do what I did and have half a serving over a cup of steamed green beans...oh SO yummalicious!
This morning the guppers and I went on a three mile walk. Every morning we come across this yard with a happy looking dog about the same size as Sadie. She barks at us but never leaves her yard. This morning I realized why. They have the invisible fence and her collar won't let her leave the yard. I won't have one for our dogs and this is why.
It reminded me of a story my friend Laura told me about a year ago. Laura is a highly educated, intelligent woman. She lives in a log cabin on a few acres in Tennessee with her dogs. She has the invisible fence system for her two dogs because putting up a real fence just isn't practical on her size of a lot. If you aren't familiar with the invisible fence, you mark off the perimeter of your property and the dogs wear special collars and should they get to close to the perimeter, they get a warning tone, should they attempt to cross the perimeter they get an electrical ZAP! Yikes!
One day Laura realized her dogs were in the yard and they didn't have their collars on. She picked up their collars and went to the yard to put them on and just about then they saw a squirrel and gave chase. She ran after them with their collars in her hand, yelling their names and a stern "You come back here"
Just about then she crossed the perimeter and ZAP!!! Right in her hand. It stung but she caught up with the dogs and after a stern warning they went running back to the house and she stopped to talk to a neighbor and then headed back up to the house and as she entered her yard ZAPPED AGAIN!!
And this is why we never got the invisible fence system for the guppers.
