Got up while still asleep to make TheMan sourdough waffles for breakfast. I’m truly bummed because I absolutely have to get the strawberries and potatoes in, and he had promised to get his pig out of my garden today but it turns out that Fire School is this weekend and all ranch employees have...

Fen wanted to lay on the couch but Boone pestered him. The biggest challenge is teaching Boone that he doesn’t get to resource guard me or the couch and to show Fen due respect. So we bought a chain and I crawled under and wrapped it around the bar to the sectional. Boone was pretty unhappy...

Fen is driving me to distraction. There is a bitch in heat on the ranch and he has been yipping and howling, which is causing Boone to howl, though he has no idea WHY they are howling. The vet wants $365 to neuter Fen. There’s no clinics or other place to neuter him. He needs it done as he...

I want to sit and drink coffee with you! It’s time for me ro get stronger and start walking Boone past dogs on the ranch. He stared at himself in a mirror I didn’t see for quite a long time yesterday then woofed at himself. Barking is NOT allowed so we have to work with dogs approaching, both...

Definitely do not expect to use any LGD breed for public work. We are so far from town, we go to all the same places and more or less see all the same faces. When we walk in, people immediately say “Boone”. He remembers them. But there is no guarantee he will continue to remain friendly or...

So vet thinks it’s a skin infection. Not a hot spot and not an allergy so we have topical antibiotic for it. He also has a large swelling on his hind foot that no one noticed because you have to see it at just the right angle, which I did on the wY out of town so back to the vet we went...

I know ! Hard to believe he could go from this… to this in just 90 days!

Today we take Boone to town and leave Fen to howl because there is a bitch in heat on the ranch 😖 My L shoulder is all torn up. It’s the one that has sustained the most damage over my lifetime and has had more surgeries to repair. I just hope it’s strain and not another tear, but it’s been...

I had a really good, productive day. Fed all the critters, got Mister’s sheath cleaned as it was bothering him last night so I removed a couple of beans and softened everything up with Excaliber. Washed out all the rabbits’ water bowls, baked and sliced 2 boules of sourdough, cut out all the...

I have 2 old horses still but I suspect Boone could pull a cart pretty easy 🤔

It makes me so sad that none of my grandchildren can afford horses. They saved my life and have been my passion for almost 70 years (…holy sh#t! I am OLD!! ) I don’t like where the world is headed. I want to go back.

I’m so proud of Boone! He’s starting to pick my phone up by the strap and hand it to me, he picked up my glasses and gave them to me, and he voluntarily brought me a shoe! He’s starting to “get” it!! And he lets me hug him and kiss him whenever I want (Fen doesn’t like being petted except on his...

I’m not sure its a hot spot and it has spread to his other leg

This if it’s mites. https://tennesseemeatgoats.com/articles2/mites.html Ivermectin if its lice

Does it sting? He screamed when I touched it

Boone is slowly learning to pick up snd hand me things. He does it with a small tug, like I use on the door, and now he picks up and hands me my phone by the cord. He doesn’t quite have the knack of opening the back door to let himself out yet, but he’s closer and has figured out to stick his...

Boone met his first cow. He started alert barking because she was looking into Mister’s pasture. I let him know she is ok as she is Millie the nurse cow. I went and pet her on the nose and he came up and quietly introduced himself. I’m really happy so far with his disposition and his...

Got two boules of sourdough in the fridge. Will bake ‘em on Wednesday. Boone sees vet on Thurs in Burns. It will be good to get him out in public again as it has been too long. I will have to put a pinch collar on him, just in case, but it’s more likely he won’t pull me, as long as Fen stays...

Fen wanted out at 5 this morning. He loves to stand on the back deck and survey his kingdom in peace before he wakes up Boone. Boonie must be in a growth spurt today as he’s super hungry even after eating his breakfast. He is also doing some soft little woofs. He’s almost 6 mo old and as I...

Slept most of the day yesterday, but still feel pretty drained and emotionally unstable. Fen is much more affectionate with me than before. I hope that lasts. Boone has had rash on inside thighs. Been there awhile. Now there’s a spot on other side. Don’t know if it’s from running through...
