Yikes! I am at a loss as to the best route. If I keep her here both Samson and Winnie will be going crazy and I am pretty sure will find some way to get together. I would consider bringing her in the house but I am about to have a baby (literally due any day now with lots of Baxton Hicks and...
I am in quite a pickle. Winnie had her litter of pups at the very end of August and feeding 9 puppies really took a toll on her. She did end up losing a lot of weight and even lost a lot of her coat. Once the puppies had gone to their new homes (12-14 weeks) she started improving and looks...
Gorgeous pic you guys! So can't wait for spring either….green grass and blue skies!!! :love
Sweetened you have the best names for your animals…if I get stumped I am definitely coming to you for suggestions. lol! I thought it was only my husband that named animals "numb nuts" :lol:
hmmm, I wonder if different breeds are more of less playful. Mine certainly have a 6th sense and know if I am up to anything out of the ordinary. And I definitely have a couple that love affection, but I would never describe them as playful or wanting to "play", except for the lambs. I have big...
my male is such a sucker for attention too…he will continuously lay at your feet and roll over and give those eyes…another belly scratch PLEEEEESE! My female is much easier to pet as she stays leaning against me and is not as demanding. But when it comes to playing in the pasture (we sometimes...
In my observations they prefer to be "bored" than over stimulated. As they are a prey animal, most "excitement" is seen as threats. They don't really do "playing" (well lambs definitely do but not past a few months), they do "ahhhh, run for your lives!!!". I have a couple friendly sheep that...
I wouldn't be overly concerned with having too much milk if you like the lamanchas and have the room for them. Remember that the goat will have to be dried off between freshenings so you could just milk one for 6 months, the other for 6 months. You will probably find all sorts of uses for the...
that's crazy! I can't imagine someone driving in a stealing a dog right out a field but it obviously does happen…that's awful, sorry you lost him.
I wouldn't want to see someone try to do that with my dogs, I had a hard enough time getting my dogs loaded up to go to the vet.
what super cute kids you all have. I always say it is pretty hard to have a bad day with those adorable kids bouncing around….puts a smile on your face. Your daughter look so tickled with those cuties on her lap!
Oh I am so sorry things did not turn out well for your cute Peanutbutter. Very strange findings.... I have no idea what that would mean - maybe someone else will have something helpful to add.
I have milked a ND doe weeks after she had weaned her kid and the milk seemed fine until we tasted it...
