Oh believe they are being watched closely!

B's evaluation today came back that he is not on the autism spectrum. That's good. We learned some interesting things about him though and will be doing a full genome testing to confirm some suspicions that the doctors have.

Marilyn, one of our rabbits, dropped 5 kits today on the wire. She shouldn't have been pregnant...she shouldn't still be with a male....but alas they are not my rabbits. I'm gonna get them separated though as inevitably I'm the one who finds these things.

Jeez louise Em - that is absolutely horrible. I am glad you are keeping a close eye. I can't even phantom why - only that that person is really disturbed and if they keep doing it, it would be just a matter of time before animals aren't enough. I will say a prayer for y'all right now. I pray for you and your babies (nonhuman and human) and I pray that this person can find help.

I'm glad B's tests came back good - or at least not autisim. Hopefully the drs can find something and can find something that will help. I hope you have a pleasant weekend. And I got your PM, just keep forgetting to respond - i'm sneaking now checking up on the forum and have to get off quickly before the boss comes out

Marilyn dropped 2 more babies this morning on the wire - dead. Rabbits confuse the heck outta me. Wish my mom would get rid of them or learn something about them and apply it so I don't have to deal with their craziness.

I hope you can have that person prosecuted for animal cruelty or something. People are getting very angry and acting out on it nowadays. Don't know if the bad economy and everything is playing a role to encourage people to act out or what. I have never seen so much anger in people as I see in recent times.

Glad you are getting answers on B.

The person is mentally disturbed, confirmed mental illness. Help is what they need, not jail as it would have no effect on them. I'm pushing to see that they get the help that they need.


In other news...I walked into Harvest (store) today to deliver a special request for a customer - goat roast - to find that today goat meat and my jellies have been flying off the shelves. Yay! Looks like I'll be working to make more jellies this weekend and might have to look into buying more goats.

 

[ksalvagno]

Wow, that is great! Looks like you got a good business going!

If all goes as planned, our house finally sold and I will be down in Cardington the end of May.

 

[elevan]

Congratulations! I love the Cardington area. My aunt lives over there and a few friends (horse and cattle folks)

I am very sorry to hear about all you issues. I am in awe that you keep going on strong. You do more than go on, you just keep getting better. You never let these bumps take you down with them but use them to climb higher. Congratulations on the store sales.

 

[elevan]

Y'all humble me. I just do what I feel anyone else would do in my shoes (or hope that they would). My inspirations are those who do as I do, live life and don't let it bring you down.

We got the ok to bring in additional goat meat products to the store. Previously it was only ground goat. We'll be adding goat loin chops this week.

I made a batch of Spicy Apple Jelly yesterday to take into the store.

I gotta get my rear in gear...the third store to sell my stuff will begin doing so on May 3rd! Yikes, that's just around the corner.

 

[Queen Mum]

Sounds like business is booming! Your son's issues are starting to get straightened out... and you are on track to solving the animal mystery. Things ARE looking up. Maybe the hill isn't so high as it seems...

Hang in there. We are all rooting for you.
