 Carol,

 My 12 acres is in the town of Lemonweir, 15 minutes NW of the Dells and 15 
 minutes SW of Castle Rock Lack, 5 minutes out of Mauston.  We really like it 
 there.  I have to laugh about people leaving their lights on.  I lock my 
 doors no matter what!  I do find people to be a little different up there.  I 
 guess they can tell I'm from the city.

 Lesa

Hi,
Well, if and when I ever travel past that way again I'll try to remember to 
look over towards your land. LOL  I can't count how many times we have gone 
past the Dells in the 20 some years we went UP NORTH before we finally moved 
here.  Yes locking the doors is kind of senseless where we are since we are set 
so far back in the woods that
anything could happen here and no one would know.  But our burglar alarm is our 
four dogs.  They create such a racket when someone drives up that you would be 
a fool to try to get in.

Can't really offer any help on the process, other than it took quite a bit of 
time and trouble 8 years ago when I had this done by a dealer, but I guess 
its faster now. I dumped the mare who was brought over, as they seem to 
consider a dirty white horse a palominc, and never sent a Polaroid before she 
got here. I did keep her baby, as she was bred before leaving Iceland, and he 
has worke dout reasonably well, for a horse. Merek

 Carol,

 I have 12 acres in WI and plan on moving there in about two years so I will 
 be known as a cheesehead sometime soon too!

 Lesa

Hi Lesa,
Where in WI is the 12 acres?  Trust me you will not miss the whole northern IL 
area.  We moved north gradually.  We also
spent 23 years in Waukesha.  And it is not so nice there either, now.  Too many 
people and subdivisions and all that goes
with it.  City people moving to the country and then expecting all the services 
of the city.  We always laughed at the new
subdivisions were everyone left their outdoor lights on all night.  I always 
said they were afraid of the dark.

Welcome Lurker Lesa.  I was raised in Northern Il and lived in the Chicago area 
for a number of years so know all about flat Illinois.  BTW you are known as 
Flatlanders.  As we in WI are called Cheeseheads.

Glad to see all the newcomers!

I noticed that in spite of all the hair that looks like massive
shedding, if I use the shedder blade, only a little pile comes off.
The main coat is still thick and heavy. I don't think they will be
done shedding for a long time.

Hi and Welcome to all,

We seem to have a whole bunch of lurkers coming out of the wood work.
But a great big WELCOME to all of you.  As far as shedding goes, I am in
no hurry to help Heidi shed out.  It can still get way too cold here and
I don't want to start the blanket syndrome.
