BrownSheep- It's been a while

Not much to report. College is pretty boring when youre not a naughty child.
My wonderful father did send me this.

I've been applying for summer jobs. not my favorite thing in the world to do.


Have I ever mentioned there's a zoo less than a ten minute walk from my dorm? I think I need to go to the zoo. I really do. Unfortunately, not this weekend. Well be moving my grandma from her current assisted living to another branch closer to my aunt. I am glad the care in her current one has gone way down. The nurses tend to get annoyed with caring for her and drug her up to keep her quiet . Today, they gave her some anti- anxiety meds and then through some morphine in for good measure. She kept falling asleep every three minutes. The woman is 89 for goodness sakes and pays more than any other person there to ensure she get quality care. They also did this to her during Christmas so she was out of it during Christmas as well. This is a big part of her move.

CUTE lambs!
Sorry the care your grandma is getting sucks right now. I'm glad you're getting her to a better place! 89 years old isn't anything to snuff at....
Aaaah....college.....you don't have to be a 'naughty' child to have fun there! Besides...you'll remember more...
But you can still have fun!

Oh I do have fun! It's just slightly less entertaining to describe.

You know...I worked at the local zoo my first year of college. Volunteered for their outreach program...where they'd have animals the kids could pet and we'd educate the kids on them. We had mongoose (my critter..>Rikki), a lemur (ET), some rabbits, chickens, etc. We'd work with socializing them, getting them used to being handled and petted. It was pretty fun. (Except when ET would poop on you...them lemurs STINK!) We actually got to go behind the scenes in a couple enclosures at the zoo (since we got to interact with all the keepers)...got to get up close to their male sumatran tiger...that was COOL! The whole thing was pretty fun. There's nothing like spending your Saturdays, in a cage with a mongoose scentmarking your sneakers...while vultures in the next enclosure are WATCHING you...licking their chops!

That sounds amazing! Unfortunately, our zoo won take anyone younger than a junior....but I plan on cheating the system since I'll have enough credits to be count as a junior by this time next year. Untill then I walk across the bridge and talk to the giraffes over the fence.

 

[CocoNUT]

That sucks! But I guess we were lucky cause this zoo was a small one...
Giraffes HAVE to be the coolest critters to talk to...if you can get high enough that is!

Well lambing season started with Big Bertha and her two ewe lambs. We may or may not end up selling them two kids for 4-H. They aren't typical show lambs but the fair they go to only show about 20 lambs.

My classes are going well. Wanna know my parent bet with me?...alright maybe its a bribe....

If I get an A in my Calculus class I get.....TWO PIGS!...I have a good feeling about this. My professor is really good and so far I have a 98. These wont be pets and will become dinner come fall. Yummmm

I wish I could bribe my kid with pigs to get good grades. Right now nothing seems to be working.........

Enjoy the giraffes!!!!!

I drove my mom home Friday after she moved my grandma to her new place. Met Rosie the new bottle baby and the new black babies.
My aunts neighbors dog had puppy's in her garage so I went and checked them out. Saw hansel and gretel witch hunters.

We will be getting our new bull sometime soon. My dad mentioned something about getting another herding dog . We have 6 dogs. I am pretty certain my mom will either kill him or divorce him if he does get one.

My uncle drove me back up today. He pointed out how my flock could be upto 60 by the end of the spring . He then picked up a bike he had brought up earlier in the year for me. So, I now have a bike to ride a round!

I am sleepy see you in maana.
