I would go ahead and get the 36”. That way when you need the space to feed more people you have it rather than doing two rounds or cooking some stuff in another appliance. Blackstone is of course the most popular. I have the members mark one, which is currently $230 for the 36”. Difference is the drain is in the front of mine, whereas it’s in the back of the Blackstone. If you don’t see the griddle being in the rain a soft cover would be just fine to keep dust and bugs off. If it’ll get wet at all I’d get a hard one. I have both a hard and soft on mine. Seasoning is just like any other cast iron. Make sure you get a good coating the first time around. Then clean it well right after each use. I give mine a coat of oil after each use as well while it’s still warm. Think I covered everything. Of course all just my opinion. Enjoy experimenting with it once you have one. Thanks for the info. Does it make much of a difference where the drain is located?

A few months late but I bought a mossberg youth 20g. with the slug barrel from a Walmart in KY. It's drilled and tapped for a scope. It's exactly like the one she used to have. It will be a great deer gun for her. I need to quiet down the mossberg rattle though.

We are on day 9 of staying in hotels in New Albany while a family member is in the hospital. I'm trying to find a good place to take the kids fishing. We hit a spot on a creek today and it was a muddy mess. Any help with a better place would be appreciated.

On the way home from work tonight I saw a car in front of me drift off the road and head towards the river. It hit a dock that was pulled up on the bank. The car stopped about 20' from the water. I called 911 and stayed with the woman until the police and EMT's got there. I thought she was going into the water. It's a good thing the dock was there.

I've been fighting them since fall. I cleaned out the camper last week and found a bunch. They didn't used to be this bad up until a few years ago. The ladybugs are annoying too.

I was out on the cycle yesterday and had to dump the throttle, grab the brake, and duck because a jake launched out of the ditch fence line right in front of me. Cool to see, not cool to see that up close and personal. Glad you kept it the wheels on the ground.

Always try to minimize jumping on or off of things as it is bad for their backs. I'd also recommend dental cleanings as needed and even brushing the dog's teeth yourself. Small dogs have very little space between teeth which can lead to excessive plaque and tooth decay. They can be a bit stubborn to potty train. Long story short, I switched to all hardwood and laminate floors. No more carpet or rugs. To housebreak your pup, this book is the best thing that I've found. www.amazon.com/How-Housebreak-Your-Days-Revised/dp/0553382896/ref=asc_df_0553382896/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312021420189&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6431668466368511648&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9016200&hvtargid=pla-453845368050&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=60223808857&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=312021420189&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6431668466368511648&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9016200&hvtargid=pla-453845368050As for the teeth, get a finger brush and start doing it every few days when they are a pup. www.chewy.com/vets-best-fingerbrush-dog-toothbrush/dp/192973?utm_source=google-product&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=12798209681&utm_content=Vet%27s%20Best&utm_term=&gclid=CjwKCAiAsYyRBhACEiwAkJFKohT_NKoMb9GtxielGO7fOiPFRe9JsmDp43pLdOzWxsLodmRkHlOzPhoCHwMQAvD_BwE The routine that the pup does the first few weeks/months that it's in your home will be what it does the rest of it's life. If you don't want the pup up on the furniture, don't let it get up there when it's a pup. My neighbor girls would sit outside the small area I had for the pups when I had a litter and wanted them outside with Mom, but the fence I made was only about 24" tall. Mom could jump out (fenced yard) but the pups couldn't. The girls would play with the pups, and when the pups would get tired, the girls would sit on the ground with their back against the fence, legs straight out with a pup sleeping on it's back between their legs. I kept 2 from that litter and those 2 would sleep on their backs as adults. None of the other Springers would. The one I have now, I'd let up on the bed after she was about 16 weeks old, but when she laid down I'd have her lay between my legs (I'd sleep on my stomach). Now if I allow her up on the bed, that's where she sleeps, between my feet/calves.
The more you teach a dog when it's <6 months old, the more things it will know. Be careful around the 10 week time frame, be careful not to scare the dog with anything between 9-11 weeks old. If you do, it'll stay scared of whatever it was for the rest of it's life.
The more you get the pup out and exposed to new things (socialization) the better the dog will be when it's older. Take it out to the store on a leash as a pup, expose it to a myriad of things, and it will be a MUCH better adult dog. Teach it not to bark when it's a pup and it won't be a yapper later on in life.
Let me look in my library, there is a great book out there on dog psychology that you should get and read. It explains a lot about how the dogs learn and how they WANT to fit into the pack that is called your family. Dogs do VERY well with structure and training. When training, 15 minute sessions is the max. Repetition and simple commands is best.
For instance, when you are teaching a dog to sit, that means put their butt on the ground. It doesn't tell the dog how long it's but should stay on the ground. So, "sit", "Stay" means put your butt on the ground until I tell you "OK" or some other command that is is OK to get up and walk/run.
You can train a dog for voice commands, hand commands and many hunting dogs are also trained for whistle commands. Voice and hand signals are great because if a dog gets deaf when it's old, as long as it can still see, it still knows what you are telling it to do.
Budd can tell you, it's a whole lot easier to train a pup if you have an adult dog there that knows the commands, the pup will see what the adult dog does when you make that "noise" and it realizes that the certain "noise" means a certain thing.
Our command in the Spaniel world to "sit" is "hup". A buddy had a teacup chihuahua pup and brought it with him when he came here to hunt for a weekend. After the first day, the little pup was sitting when I told the Springers to "Hup". That sucker picked up the commands FAST!!
Thank you for the information

scrub-buster where'd you find them? Our mini dachshund is 13.5 years old and about to give up the ghost. I'd love to have another, but the breeder we used doesn't breed them anymore. A breeder in Switzerland County. I can pm you their website if you want.

Short hair. I'm not sure on the back problems. I think that is caused be being over weight. Yeah… the over weight and jumping off things will hurt their back. We have 2 one short hair one long hair. I would get a cage and make it learn to stay in it when left alone… they are chewers and hard headed! Thanks

I lost my two dogs in the divorce. That was the worst part of it. I wasn't planning on getting any more but my fiancé talked me into looking at some mini-dachshunds. Dang those were some cute little pups. We put a deposit down on a blue and tan female. She has wanted one of those her entire life. I've never had that breed before. We went with a smaller sized pup. The owner said it would end up being around 8-10 lbs fully grown. We get her in early April.
