Hi, I think there is Boy Scouts in the ranches, some of the ladies on here might be able to give you a bit more information. I think it's in JESS school. There is also a summer camp at the kart drome in motor city ( July/august) ,karting , play station gaming , and laser games. I'm also on the look out for our 12 year old :)

have you rhought of contacting Laura at ........ some pet charity - see if he can volunteer there., Am sure some ladies on here will fill in the blanks. I think it's Posh Paws yes, that's exactly what he is looking for ! Posh Paws is the petting farm, with all kinds of animals right? We have never been there, but I did come across it on my search. Do you think its worth a try?

We've "hired" a dog from K9 Friends - presumably you've thought of them? His idea sounds lovely btw, but not being a dog owner I can't really comment (I would let him look after my cats though!) Thank you :) He loves all animals , before moving here , we had our ' little farm' , 2 dogs (mom and daughter, mom in doggie heaven) , 2 cats,( one died aged 17 before moving here), 2 chickens, gone to live on a farm with 12 more), 2 rabbits ( moved in with a friends 2 males) , 2 ponies( retired to a petting farm for children with special needs ) and 17 fish( still in the pond , sold with our old house ) ! our little farm is now down to 1 dog and 1 cat. He has 'the love' :)

My son is almost 12, adores animals and always wants to help animals in any way he can. I thought both me and him could do some charity dog walking, cuddles etc at one of the many animal shelters here but it seems its not possible for him due to insurance reasons, which I understand. So, ( The mom , me ) had an idea this morning, but I'm not sure if it would work. We live in AR and walk our own cavalier every evening. what if my son offered to walk small dogs (with me and our dog) in the evenings, during the week , for a small fee (donation, he will not ask for money ), then at the end of every month he donates his collected fees to a different animal charity? What do you ladies think? Would this work ? thoughts please welcome . <em>edited by dollybird on 03/04/2014</em>

I use ' Tisserand ' ( brand ) organic,aromatherapy pure essential oil, ' citronella ' . I put 3 cotton balls in a small dish with a couple of drops of the citronella oil and leave that in the bedrooms. It seems to work for us. I found it in the small local pharmacy, boots etc had no idea what I was talking about.

Was exhausted doing the ironing last night so I only ironed the fronts of my husband's trousers. I figure he'll never know and it cut the ironing time in half. Is this efficient time management or slovenly housewifery? Fantastic !!

I have ended up inside the blimmin thing before now! Thank you :) I feel better now :)
