Callie Pups!New homes & Teaching Moments

My pups eat hay too. Glad to hear it isn't just them. I was cleaning the thicker stuff out of the hay rack last night, sometime it gets clogged with woody stems. I looked over and saw Peron was happily eating what I had just dumped on the ground. Crazy dog.

I have a big update coming but snapped this yesterday and just loved these pics!
Pups are 12 weeks and average weight is 40 lbs... they are nice and lean. all doing well!

Hate this part because we know what's coming!

The goats standing back... saying "Watch this"
I swear I heard them laughing at the pups!

Now that most have been shocked they all run to the safety of the shelter. LOL That yellow stuff bites!

A few brave souls decide it is not that big of a deal and go back out to the compost heap... cuz that is yummy!

And the recuperating Callie- still pretty underweight but doing great!

Wow on the pups, and the Chunk, and the Badger and especially on Callie. She's lookin' a whole lot better, but way under weight (IMHO). To me it appears she could use another 15-20 pounds added to her frame. Can't even tell she just had pups a few months ago! Look at those legs! They go all the way up Like stilts! She'd give a greyhound a go I'll bet...
All are good looking animals I don't like my dogs "fat", but don't like them all skin and bones either... Gotta be "just right"! Those pups are looking "just right"!

If you find yourself with a few/any "leftovers", (and any one in particular that needs/could use a good home) well, just musing... I'd be looking for a companion primary with watcher tendencies rather than a patroller... No livestock right now, just chickens, but not out of the question in the foreseeable future. Prob goats for milk/meat and poss a sheep or two for food. Next door neighbor (shared fence line) has goats and a couple of alpacas. If I got an LGD, it may prefer my neighbor's place to mine... Ah well....

Just curious Southern... do you use 5 strands of electric on all your pastures or just the one by the road where the pups are? I wouldn't think you'd need but maybe 2 for the goats... But then I don't own goats (yet), so...
