i have 2 gorgeous dogs - a retriever (12yrs)and a lab (7yrs). these need feeding and walking daily. the dogs usually have a weekly bath - ie a hose down outside and a quick shampoo. I also have 5 chooks - i let them out times per week and they scratch around the house. they lay the best eggs - usually about 3 per day. I also have a pool which requires a weekly clean out - ie the filter and scooping the leaves out. I have a wood fire which heats the front of the house. The house is on 5 acres, mostly forest, and very peacefull. There is lots of wildlife - like kangaroos, kookaburras, echidnas and wild birds.
