Hopefully Thursday or Friday I can get out there with the camera and get some updated pictures that aren't cell phone qualilty.

Ladybug is still smaller than her sister, but she's growing at the same rate so I'm OK with that. Katydid has almost 4lbs on her sister.

Karma's twins Integrity and Dharma are 6lbs heavier than Lady and Katy and only a little bit older than them... funny how that happens.

They're growing great though. I'm happy with them. Prudence's wether has been tagged with a Scrapie tag and will be grown out for market. Karma's twins will be tattoo'd and Scrapie tagged for sale. I'm selling their mother (Karma), too. All the Boer have been sold minus the wether. If we keep him much longer I'm going to feed him out for the freezer.

Normally they run down to where they are and run then out. I have Sully up front to guard the sides Connie and Maddie can't from their pasture. He has taken quite well to porch potato and this was his reaction to the coyote tonight.

Currently he's down by the horses barking and running fenceline but I found this behavior odd and decided to video it.

Wish I knew what he was thinking!

Titan went to the vet this morning after he fell off of the porch. Nothing broken but he's really sore. He's down another 4lbs, he's 76.5lbs from the 80.1 he was at 8 days ago... His follow up appointment is February 8th.

Vet said he's ok but at his age I'm right to worry. His hips are really hurting him and that's what we're getting checked next visit.

Vet told me to keep him as active as possible so he doesn't get stiff so he's going with me today to get hay.

Big hugs my friend. :( I am glad he is ok and praying you have more good days ahead with the "old man" You have given him an amazing life and done way more than "most" would have for him. He is happy and loved and he knows it. That won't ease the pain any but there is peace (for me anyway) in knowing that we never held back on the love with them and they knew it.
