B&B Happy Goats....journal

congrats on the new bunnies B&B.
poor puppy girl. you know she has to be miserable with all the skin stuff going on. could she have a fungal infection of her skin? people who live down the road had a bassett cross that had a gross fungal infection that caused him and his owners all kinds of grief until they found something that cured it. i'm not any help because I don't have a clue what it was, just know that now when I drive by he looks like a dog not a itchy, oozy mess. I always felt so bad for him because they tried all sorts of stuff that didn't work before he got better.

I wonder if she needs a dose of probiotics? Just a thought.

Also, maybe wipe her down with a damp cloth or hose her off every time she comes in from outside to get the allergens off her skin??

Just random thoughts.

Sleep well!

Why these people don't seperate their males from young doe's is beyond me.

Ignorance?

We had a busy morning, slept till 9am could feel quilty, but I don't.

Given your current medical conditions I don't think you have any reason to feel guilty about getting some much needed rest!

They figure about a foot for us so not bad. Bad part is it is supposed to be -9°F Monday morning. Barely above 0°F Sunday. That will make light snow but darn cold snow removal. Supposed to be really windy Sunday afternoon through Monday as well. Looks like I'll be using the tractor to move the snow and not the blower on the garden tractor. Nothing more fun than blowing snow in 25 MPH wind. Supposed to be a south wind. At least that should make for less snow blowing from the field into the area I clear and clear again and clear again when the wind "helps". It will fill in between the barns. Doesn't matter if the wind is north, south or west, it funnels between the barns pulling snow with it.

Nope no cab. That was intentional as I intend to take it into the woods to cut firewood. Cabs aren't real helpful there. Plus they add THOUSANDS of $$ to the cost. But yep, sure would be more comfortable moving snow. While the bucket on the tractor is only 10" wider than the blower on the garden tractor, the real tractor moves faster and doesn't get stuck trying to back up hills so I shouldn't have to be out in the cold TOO long. I'll start Sunday AM moving just enough for DD to get out for work then do the whole area before she gets home. Will have to repeat Monday since the snow is supposed to continue until about 3 PM.

Not sure with current diesels, but do you need a heater stick for the oil to keep the engine warm to start in that cold weather?

...just have to lay the drawing out on paper for DH to understand, explain several times , and then he will get it, lol...have a great friday night !

I think you and my Teresa must be related based on your briefing method.

 

[Mike CHS]

The laugh is probably as important as anything else. I am the builder here but what I meant was Teresa will tell me what she has in mind and how she thinks it will go. She sees the start of a project and the end but no idea how to get there. We sometimes have to have several versions of a drawing for me to REALLY see what she has in mind.

That laughter really is important. My husband hitched a ride on the crazy train, he had no idea what he was in for! Our son in law told him one time that he (DH) caught a tornado (me).

Congrats on the great deal on the Flemish buck.
