Love watching your videos Joe. 😄

[@yepperooyepperoo5800]

Those seem like some really nice dogs! Joanie seems a lot happier with Chuck. All in all everyone is happy now.

[@DHarri9977]

Hey Joe, and you still managed to get some things done along with having a couple of nice meals with Melissa. Joanie seems so happy with her new buddy around, that was very kind of you taking them dogs in while locating the owners you guys are the best.

Joe, you have the patience of Job with all of Melissa's pet dogs and cats. That's a lot of work. I mean that in a kind way. I love animals but I couldn't do it. However, I like seeing you take care of them.

[@carolynbotting8658]

Your chickens look a lot more chilled when you go into the coop since you put the roost up, never seen them that mellow before! Good job!!

It’s always some thing on the farm! Those two labs make themselves to home! Glad the owners were found! Great video!

I'am just amazed at your knowledge. You sure are a Jack of all trades for sure! You cook, you do your own clothes! I hope Melissa knows how lucky she is to have a man that can do it all. She's a lucky woman.

[@halfcanadian1]

Seeing Chunk and Joanie playing tug tug really shows how big Chunk is with the two of them side by side. You have the most wonderful way of making even the most mundane activities interesting. I often set my TV to play your videos as I fall asleep at night, listening to your soft pleasant voice. Keep up the great work!

[@lyleloomis3493]

I love the way Joanie and Chunk get along together so fast . I sit here every time watching your video’s and think to my self , man he put some miles on that truck . Maybe you won’t have to long on not feeding the deer . Here in NY we get fined if caught an could be arrested too. That blame it on CWD , I can see it if big herd but just a few no , an most of the people here had built feeders off the ground. That way no poop or anything else is in the feed . Always throw hay out for them to eat , tell them getting rid of old hay

[@thelwell256]

A Squirrel? Man that's bad 🤣🤣🤣

[@suzisaintjames]

Years ago I had a pit/Shar pei mix and my rottie. It's hard to see a brown/white and black dogs in the dark. We found 1-2" reflectors and hung them from their collars. At one time I think they were bicycle red, flashing reflectors that were battery operated, so during the new moon, I could turn on the flashers and know where the dogs were... Full moon, the reflectors were fine. 💜🌞🌵

[@NorthernSeclusion]

That is actually an awesome idea. Thank you Suzi.

[@suzisaintjames]

@@NorthernSeclusion, as a woman, hearing rustling in the leaves... your ears go up even if you are pretty sure it's your dog, but seeing that reflector puts you immediately at ease. 💜🌞🌵

I’ll stop complaining since we only got 2 dusting of snow. YAAY - we were thinking No Ears was gone. Didn’t make it through deer season. I wish there was a way to slip a collar on her. So good to see her. So happy ! Until next time - can’t wait. ✌️

[@joejones2582]

Sounds like a good excuse to get you a good box trailer to me 😉

[@jimd4832]

Joe, when pushing the brake caliper pistons back in you should always open the bleeder screw so the old fluid doesn't get forced backwards into the system possibly damaging the anti-lock brake components.

[@kmurray96]

I did the trailer buy thing. I paid $3400 for a 17x16 duel axle w/brakes. Two years and 2400 total miles later, I sold that trailer for $3100. I also moved another family member and used it to support a hot dog wagon for a year. If you can afford it...always buy the trailer. You use U-Haul and it costs you $3000-4000, when you're done the move, you have bupkis left to show for it. Tip, buy a trailer with a ramp door and brakes. Much better resale value and landscapers are always looking for a good used trailer with a ramp door. ;D

[@waynejanik9668]

Thank you for sharing. Dogs seem to find there way to your house. I am thinking you would use the trailer more than you think. I would buy a new trailer. Would could always use it for duck and deer camp. Your canoe would fit inside. Make sure a 4 wheeler fits inside. You could use it as a workshop and storage on job sites. You will fine a large number of uses for the trailer.

[@dottiehildebrand3123]

Is chunk doing better with the cats? Safe travels. God bless ♥️🇺🇸🌹

[@NorthernSeclusion]

He is getting better but I still would not trust him to be loose by himself with the cats.

I am surprised that you do not use air powered tools. But you do have such strength in your arms and hands it probably just as easy and you save money in the long run.

[@frugaltinkerer9609]

Joe, your channels are the best way to relax and de-stress. Like a mini vacation. Just found Melissa's channel..Excellent recipes and instruction : )

[@stacier1069]

If you buy a trailer, use it, and then if you don't really need it, resell it, you could probably get most of your money back. Payout much less than renting. Thanks for the video Joe :)

Great vid Joe, I would feed them deer anyway, them telling you what you can or cannot do on your property is way overeach, take care buddy.

When the power comes back on, the fence keeps the dogs from going home.

[@donaldmiller8629]

Joe , I was thinking that you were about to acquire two new dogs. They seemed to be quite comfortable with you and in no hurry to return home. Lol , that was how I got my first dog. Tippy was a part German Shepard and part Collie. She was supposed to be a farm / cow dog. One day she showed up at my house and spent the day with me until the farmer that owed her spotted her with me as he was out looking for her. A few days passed before she showed up again. I think the farmer had kept her tied up. And back home she went. After the fourth or fifth time the farmer had come to my house to collect her , the farmer told us that we may as well keep her since she was where she preferred to be. I was never out of her sight after that. Not even when I went to school. She would walk to school with me and wait outside until the end of the school day. And then we would walk home together.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

That is a very cool story. Melissa and I both enjoyed that. Thank You.

[@donaldmiller8629]

@@@NorthernSeclusion, Unfortunately the story of Tippy did not have a happy ending. When I was about 13 or 14 we lived in the city , a couple of years previously we had moved from the small country village, and my parents had divorced. My mother , brother and I had to move into public housing. No dogs allowed. So we gave Tippy to the uncle of a good friend of mine. Where we knew that she would have a good home. On the corner opposite to where we had lived was a small neighborhood grocery store. Bishop's Grocery. It was a few years later when Mr. Bishop related to me that after we had moved, Tippy would come to that house in the morning and lay in the yard all day until returning to her new home in the late afternoon. Mr. Bishop said that she did it every day for over a month. And then she stopped coming.

[@private15]

Alternate cat and dog adjustment. Put a quiet and confidant cat in the dog kennel when the dog is outside. Let dog in to see and smell but can’t chase. You must supervise and praise when the dog settles and lays down and ignores cat. This will also put cats scent in the kennel for Chunk to smell later and know the cats belong. It is slow process and must protect cats.

[@michelleellsworth3886]

Joe and Melissa your both always so busy. I feel so lazy when I watch your vlogs. Honestly, it gets me motivated to get off my arse and accomplish something. It's hard in the winter when all you want to do is hibernate until Spring. Well, Spring is around the corner this weekend is Daylight savings Spring Forward. Another thing to screw up my internal clock. Lol lol lol. Joe what are you going to do now with that extra hour. Lol lol lol. Well hope you are both doing great and the kids Joanie, Chunk and Kitties. Thanks for sharing both of you. Til next time be safe. Sincerely Michelle Pup Harley and Kitty Liam Arlington Massachusetts.

Thank you Michelle. The winter hibernation is almost over. I prefer the daylights saving time. Melissa prefers it the other way. Either way, I wish they would always just leave it and not do the switch.

I hope chunk will get used to your cats soon. 15 years ago I had 2 cats and had to babysit a rottweiler for a friend of mine for two weeks. I never laughed so much since then. My oldest cat came down to the living room, saw the rottweiler and chased it out of the living room. It took my cat a full day to get used to the dog and allow it to be in the living room with us. After that, they were the best of friends.
