B&B Happy Goats....journal

Checkers, DD1's cat, is our water problem animal. He knocks the bowl before he drinks. I understand that cats can't see things well close up if they aren't moving. The other 2 cats have no problem however. I got a cat "fountain" for the water dish in the laundry room and that solved the problem. But there is just a regular plastic cat water bowl in the bathroom upstairs. It sits on a fairly large plastic plate to catch the slops.

Nothing like dog puke and gallons of water to make your day!

Our beloved Parker drank huge amounts of water. One day he would drink, then throw it all up in the floor. We took him to the vet, short story is that he had swallowed a hickory nut while hoovering up wild persimmons, and it lodged in his intestines. Surgery and $800 later, he had stitches, shaved belly and was fine. I sure miss that goofy boy.

Yeah that's always the biggest sign on an obstruction in the intestines...when they can't keep down water

Much as goat man is annoying, can't like that he has cancer.

You had a busy day. You are tired, but it is a good tired because you got so much done. A well deserved shower and recliner time makes you feel better.

Today we spread rock in the driveway, then I did 3 batches of plum jam, got 15 pint jars. Tomorrow we start on slaughtering Cornish Cross chickens. Went to neighbor's and filled up ice cooler from his ice machine. We'll get an early start in the morning. I'll have BJ sitting under a tree, pickin chicken.

Our plums are getting ripe but I think they all have worms in them.

Get some much needed rest!

Extra protein, what's the problem?
