Loving the herd life
I went back to school for an Associates in Science Medical billing and coding. I needed something I could do from home. I have 5 courses left, only two of which are any part of difficult (actual coding courses, I've done 2 already and all the ethics, law, anatomy, etc ones). I'll be glad to be finished. Once I'm done I'm going to work on my certifications, but I'm definitely taking a nice break from learning before I do.
Lena started walking in the beginning of September, she's just now going to be 9 months on Halloween. She's quite the character. It just reminds you once they start walking of how much crap is a hazard to them that you'd never think of otherwise.

Our house isn't so baby proof, so I have to watch the babies. We don't have child locks on the cabinets and the little one loves to open them up. Mamaw says no and little one shakes her head no, and does it anyway. Mamaw smacks the little hand, NO! and picks her up and sets her down somewhere else while she howls like a banshee. Mamaw has to hide a smile.......
Great field to be in. The hospital I work at is always looking for coders (but they have to work on site
)!Great pic of your daughter. Glad to have you back!!

Sounds like Sadie, whatever breed(s) she is, is a natural born LGD Congratulations!
And your son did REAL well getting rid of most of those meat chickens, I can't imagine finding enough people to take 55!
And Lena started walking at 7 months! Wow, I thought DD1 was pretty early at 9 months. She crawled ... once, decided it wasn't for her. DD2 crawled for quite a time, I don't think she started walking until about 15 months. And she didn't talk for a really long time, DD1 decided on her own that she should tell us what DD2 was thinking. Still does it and they are 22 & 24 now. I don't think we always get a good "translation" though and probably didn't 21 years ago either
Oh yeah, and
(back), I do like hearing about all the goings on at your place.

Good to see you back. Animals look great/sound great except for your one dog and I hope that all works out. Your daughter is beautiful.

Adorable goats, beautiful baby! You certainly have your hands full. Med transcription seems to be a rapidly growing field. One of my sisters did it for several years; but I don't think she does anymore. It's definitely great for working from home.
All 3 of my kids walked around 9 or 10 months. Once they're mobile, you have to be constantly on your guard. We never did "child-proof" our house. My dear Mama said that child-proofing was just lazy parenting, but I'm not convinced you can really child-proof anyway. Kids, especially toddlers, will find something to get into regardless of what you lock away. The big thing is just to make sure you put the "dangerous stuff" (ie- chemicals, etc) up high, not under the sink, and stay alert. The earlier they learn "NO!", the better, imho, and if that needs a little pop to reinforce it, so be it. I'd love to hear tips on that from @Southern by choice, given all the experience with little ones AND training(LGDs).

I don't child proof my house either. I will lock cabinets and stuff (like under the sink where I store chemicals etc) just in the event that I'm not paying enough attention, but other than that, no.
We had a tornado on Saturday, and then it rained all night, we must have gotten 4-5 inches of rain since the wheel barrow was full and all the horse feeders had overflowed. The tornado was west of me, I got some pictures but it had already dissipated by then, I took that picture from my front door. I also snagged a picture of Athena (new goat) but it isn't very good. She's in poor body condition, which isn't my friends fault as she only had her at most 2 weeks. You can feel all her bones (spine, hips, ribs) and she has clumps of hair. I already dewormed her though so she'll be on her way to being fat in no time. I hate to see her going in to winter lean.
And a pic of Sadie. She recovered great from being spayed, even though I can't seem to get her to have quiet time.

That storm front weakened greatly before it got to us, we only got a quarter of an inch and it took all day to get it. The temps have dropped behind the front's passing and suppose to have a cooler week here. I'm sure Athena will bulk up some in your care...your animals always look good. Just remember the horses and how they looked when ya got them. Sadie is sure growing, too....

She has a job to do! No slacking for her. Hopefully she won't overdo, she does need a bit of recuperation time.
