Thanksgiving was a good holiday for us. Spent the morning dropping trees then headed off to have dinner with the family two hours away. Got there just in time, turkey was just being finished on the carving table. My best friend surprised us with all three of her kids, which was nice. We haven't seen each other in about six months. The hardest part about living so far away from your closest friend is missing their company. It was really good to see her. My grandmother ( who has known my best friend her whole life, as have I ) sent her and the kids home loaded down with sweets. It was nice.
Miss Red's ear is finally healing. The scabs sloshed off and all that's left is bald spots underneath it. Looks gross now? You should've seen it when the scabs were on it.
Finally, we have Kalu. Our late blooming buck. At almost a year old you would think he would look more like a buck than he does... His father was a late bloomer, also. Little man is starting to fill out and find his shape. He's a cutie. He and Duli have been in with the does for three months now. If they're not bred by now then we have problems! LOL I will be pulling the bucks in December and putting them in the buck pasture. Until then they can enjoy the company of all their pregnant ladies.
I've had to be patient with him the last few months. He was an ugly little duckling and I had really worried that I made a bad choice for a few weeks. Then he hit his first rut. He's bigger and bulkier than his brother. I like him a LOT. Duli is nice, too, but Kalu is the hidden wonder boy.
Short post: I got promoted! I'm moving stores and taking over. Not the store I wanted, but, the money is right. I'll have lots of time to think about things on my morning drive to work. Takes about an hour now.
I'm officially the store manager of my "local" TSC!
