"No, but my dog eats chicken poop. :)"
"Lisa, I live in Mesa and order from Scott Brown's feed co-op. Another woman and I are carpooling to Baker's to pick it up and I'm sure we could work something out with you if you decide to order. Feed is ordered about every 2 months, so order…"
"It's a great idea. I love looking at pics of sedum roofs and I've seen a few on coops.

"Yes, I'd love to take part. Thanks for the invitation."
"Thank you! I'll check it out Monday!"
"Thanks to both of you. It's good to know that she might be fine. I'll watch her as she grows and make sure she doesn't suffer any.
