Well I was a little shocked but the British Alpine took the Foster buckling. The British Alpine though beautiful is a little snobby but a good mom. She sniffed the Saanen buckling, then I put him by her udder and he cautiously went to drink and she let him. I watched him with her and her doeling and they seem to have accepted him. I wouldn't say she's a douting mother but she doesn't just let her kid just wonder off.
We'll see how it works.

Nature does shock you at time doing things you think would never happen. Hoping all turns out for the best for the doeling.

Ladies will be shopping today, lol. They go shopping everytime Nana comes, all day the first day. Oh and my mother goes nuts cleaning her house, its got to be perfect for Nana, which mean my wife goes crazy as well and any other connecting female relative, lmao. Nana isn't even coming to our house but God forbid if she just happens to come and its not clean. It cracks me up every year.

Well lets see besides the crazy but wonderful women in my family, what else is going on...hmm. Oh, um Marshmellow, Jake and Rolly are living full time with the lambs and are getting bigger.
Dorothy seems a bit more peppy with more feed available.

Clove and Brat have alot of work lately with those effective Coyotes. Even with the Sheep closer to the house that doesn't stop them. They even come out in broad day light sometimes now.

I would buy this place.

Ah the enjoyable days when your rarely seen father shows up and after a nice hello proceeds to knock you down a few pegs. Tells me how I'm wasting my money and blah, blah, blah. How I should just stick with one kind of cattle and not have so many breeds. How I shouldn't have so many things going on at once. Too many different kinds of livestock going.
Who am I kidding I'm not done ranting. Then he goes on about me buying the family farm and having Goats of all things on it. There's no money in Goats, not enough people want goats. Oh, and you can't argue with this man he just blows me off as if I'm still a kid.

Family can be a pain.

I have one just like that (dad). He is still mad at me for not going to college (20+ years ago). Uses the word "disappointed" alot, and generally makes me feel like crap. that would be why he's been through 6 wives, and only 1 of his 6 children speak to him.

While others are missing parents that have passed or that are not here for Thanksgiving, I am grateful that I had the sense to walk away from a toxic family member.

Tough it out 77 - someday you'll get to choose his nursing home.

I bet he already gave power of attorney to my brother. My mother is more than welcome to live with me if she needs it.
