I like your thinking! You could check the schools and see if there's a kid interested in animals/agriculture to help you out. My vet used high school kids in her office, checking patients, weighing, etc.

Well I actually have an Amish neighbor who has 9 kids and they're often looking for odd jobs to make some extra cash. They're not opposed to working around animals and getting their hands dirty. I would be very clear about how the animals are to be treated because often their vision of them and ours are quite different, but I think I might be able to work out something with them.

I've lived next to this family for 3+ yrs and have never seen them be cruel or harsh with their animals or children. So I think we'd do ok.

What a wonderful idea Tink! You'll both be together, doing something you both love, and providing people with quality pets.

I love the idea!

I bet that they'd be good help. I think that asking them would be a wonderful idea and they live close by.

Precious babies. Not to change the subject, have the leaves already peeked? I miss them so much. My favorite time of year when we lived in MN.
