A licensed dog (wearing its tags) is more likely to make its way back to you if it gets lost. It’s also much easier to confirm rabies status if a dog is registered in town, vs. not - not everyone puts their rabies tag on their dog’s collar. Check your town’s dog licensing ordinance — the late charges are typically 1.5 x the regular license fee, plus a penalty for each pet licensed late. Ferrets also have to be licensed as well.

A piece of deer how far from road is it. I own a sizeable piece of land that borders i89 every year i find several deer that have been hit by traffic and mostly eaten by various animals

My kids never had class on town meeting day. We use the school for town meeting so I assume teachers have the day off. It’s usually part of a winter break with school out for a week.

Also, it’s a state holiday.

Yeah Vermonters litter like everywhere, but at least we clean it up once a year. Roadsides will look much nicer in 6 weeks.

Every town does this. Some towns do rabies clinics right around April 1 so you can do them both at the same time.

Definitely deer hair

I don't know the names of any in that area, but I know care up in that region is scarce enough that many patients will travel an hour south to see their provider.

Enforcement varies a lot, GENERALLY, no one is driving around looking for dogs and checking to see if they are licensed. However, it’s cheap and you should do it. Plus, if your dog got loose or anyone complained about it for whatever reason, you’d get fined for not having it done.

Most towns yes if they find out

Hunk o’ deer/moose hide. Fun fact: See how the hairs that are bent are kinked… deer have hollow hair, so they kink like a drinking straw when bent over.

Town meeting is on Monday to discuss the ballot items. Voting is by ballot in Tuesday. Town is too large to do any effective voting at a town meeting.

Just moved here about 2 months ago, is this enforced at all?

Look at a broadband map before you move. Much of that part of the state is served by slow internet and as you are working from home it will be a factor. If your work from home gig ends, you will not be able to find high paying professional work in the area.

Unfortunately, The Highland Lodge no longer accepts dogs, even in their cabins. It's a shame, as it's a great place and is close to hiking, kayaking, dining and so forth.

spiciest, b. water.

You’re right, they should be attending selectboard meetings whenever possible too. Ideally volunteering for positions in town, and serving on the fire department or rescue squad as well.

Then they would actually know what’s going on and actually be able to weigh in appropriately as someone with skin in the game.

They’d also likely be busy enough in their world as it exists locally to not be wholly consumed mentally by the problems of the world outside their town.

20yrs w/a coop. Sometimes the box of Spring Chicks (~40) from Sand Hill Preservation would be 10-15 boys. We'd keep them a couple of few months, save the gentlest and eat the rest. Chewy but good in soup.

One year I loaded 2 or 3 into the SUV nightly (x4) and drove to nearby State forest and let them loose. I figured better to live free for a short spell than the pending axe. Heard stories all summer long about roosters calling out in the deep woods :)

One can get attached to older hens but a great rooster over 5-8 years goes sorely missed.

Definitely need to flush out anything corrosive asap with how small circuit board connectors can be these days compared to even 20 years ago.

Love it ty

I have never had the day off as a teacher.

I'll vouch for this. the state govt in particular ignores the NEK on a regular basis, but heaven help us if we want to go forward with any sort of development
