Maybe?<br /><br />We have a well, and a few months ago our pump abruptly broke. Completely. Now, my father is extremely handy, so he was able to determine what was wrong and find a new pump, but it still involved (even in my suburban/rural area) a several hour-long drive to get the replacement pump and several more hours to install it. All of this meant a day without any water, without any plan-ahead time to fill some buckets. Anyway, I was wondering how much worse a similar situation would be if we were as remote as Kristin's family. I'm guessing that's where depending on your neighbors comes into play, as I'd probably be making many bucket-laden trips to their nearest hose.Laurennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506305897742962637.post-46217646447407401832021-07-22T06:28:54.028-06:002021-07-22T06:28:54.028-06:00Do the kids like living out in the middle of nowhe...Do the kids like living out in the middle of nowhere, or just take it in stride?Gemma's personhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02740156670047388540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506305897742962637.post-75995774501321895832021-07-21T20:07:22.593-06:002021-07-21T20:07:22.593-06:00Water...do you have a well?

These dogs are only part border collie, though. They also have cur in their mix, which is a short-haired hunting dog. So Jasper got the border collie fur, and Odin got the cur fur.Kristin @ Going Countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00221544641416039741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506305897742962637.post-9450704534648286802021-07-21T04:35:43.076-06:002021-07-21T04:35:43.076-06:00I think its funny that your dogs are brothers &...I think its funny that your dogs are brothers & one has short hair & one long hair.
