Talked to my boss today about going into the DM program. HIS boss wants me to promote and move up.

They have a plan for me.... It's a year or better in the making yet, but, I'm excited to know that my future is bright within the company.

Makes the day to say mediocre more bearable.

Decided to grab some girls while we were cleaning and feeding and snap some updates. Didn't get them set up very well, but, you can see how much some of these juniors have grown. Here's one with one of our juniors on the far left and some of our seniors on the right. Briar is 8 months old, the girls next to her are two year olds.

Damsel is having a little trouble still extending that back leg, but she's probably at 95% use. Stitches are out, nothing but a few scabs and some scar tissue we're treating with ointment. She's back to being her regular sassy happy self. She was being a total PITA when I was trying to get pictures of the other goats. She just wanted to lay in my lap and get lovings. Silly girl...

Briar still doesn't like her picture being taken. I swear as soon as I start trying to take one she starts bunching up. Oh well.

Karma is HUGE and I don't think she's going to make it to her due date. We think she's got two BIG kids, but she might have three. Two is more likely, though, as she is a small doe and doesn't have much room to hide them.

Part 2 coming up...

Anabelle had some serious parasite issues and is FINALLY starting to catch up. She's only 8lbs behind Damsel now, and was about 20lbs behind her last month. She's gaining real serious ground. I still wish she was at size... I can't wait on her to catch up to where she's supposed to be so we can get her in an arena and REALLY see her potential. I think she will do outstanding if we can get those last few pounds on her. A month ago we were debating putting her down. As a final 'try this' we gave the herd a cobalt bolus. That seems to be all she needed. I'm really, really excited to see her with this much weight on her. She was a literal walking skeleton.

Ring a ling dingdong , aka Beau, fractured some bones in his ankle. He has officially chewed off his cast and the bandages that followed. He's an energizer bunny. Can't keep him down! He's so pathetic, hopping around on three legs. My little destructo dog.

We have installed a barn cam on Karma.

I can stop going out there so much now.
