Tomorrow brings a trip to the local TS and then the feed store before going over to the farm. Bambi will be moved back over with the herd and Venus will move over to keep Mavis company.
My brother has been busy this past weekend while I was at work. There is a roof on my hay barn
! Shingling it will most likely take place this weekend coming up. He is getting a great big hug
from this happy lady.
Now for some sleep as I have two grandchildren coming at 6:20 am. Been a few years since I saw the dawn break with young ones in the house. Will need a whole lot of
(that's the cup not the computer) to be ready for them.

Tuesday was a very sad day
. I lost our big beautiful wonderful Yukon
. It took until the next morning to figure out exactly what happened. I can say that nature is not always beautiful or funny. The wind was pretty strong Monday night. It blew over two sections of my Pallet fencing and this snapped the hot wire. One section 24 foot on the sheep side and one 16 foot section on the goat side. The two older dogs got out and early Tuesday morning Yukon got hit by a car.
I spent Tuesday repairing said fence by myself. Took me all day and some very not nice words came out off my tongue
. Feeling like a terrible doggie mom the whole time. Tahoe looks lost without her brother. Watching for signs of depression. She ate good this morning.
Wednesday morning I get another phone call saying the section in the goat pasture is down again
. No animals escaped. Sister in law got dogs tied and goats locked in barn. I call work tell them I have to repair a fence before I can come in. So I put wire fencing up in that section and got to work at 12:41 pm. Two hours and ten minutes late. Thankfully my middle DD helped me out. Tahoe ate good this morning as well. Not yet herself, but it's only been one day. She lays around in the pasture more. Doesn't come to see what I am doing, just watching from her spot in the middle of the pasture at the top of the hill.
Darn grub stole my brand new work glove yesterday
. Took my DD about 20 minutes to get it back. I haven't even taken the time to look that over to see if it's still usable. I had to take it off to work with some wire, laid it on the ground and just like that Grub scoops it up! Puppy behavior
!
Plus this last week and a half my car has been at the shop. First they had to figure out what was wrong and now they are repairing it. It's been hell not having my own wheels. Thankfully oldest DD has let me use their van. Got the figures for that on Tuesday. $749. and some change.
So far this years start has not been any better than last years finish. It's got to get better right?
Chickens are giving me between 7-9 eggs a day. Don't expect that many this morning as it's back to cold outside. Bambi is still in the nursery as she is still having some bloody discharge and I don't trust the two pups with that going on. Mavis was showing a minimal about of discharge yesterday 7 the day before. Will will continue to wait on her. I put Venus in with those two that way when I do move Bambi back over Mavis won't be by herself. Plus Venus's lady parts are starting to take shape for upcoming delivery.
Pictures of Yukon....This boy stole my heart from day one.

It hurts to see something like that happen. I'm sorry for your loss. Poor Tahoe...
She's understandably lost without him.

X2 what Norse said. You seem a bit overloaded at the moment.
I have no idea why this is happening, but between my post above and now, all these other posts showed up that were NOT there when I originally posted. When I posted, the post directly above mine was Norse's.
I'm so terribly sorry you lost Yukon!That has GOT to be tearing you up! I'm tearing just sitting here typing this imagining how I'd feel if I lost Mel or any of my animals that way. That just royally sucks! Maybe you can get in touch with the rescue and find a replacement or another male pup that you can put with Tahoe. I'm sure she's feeling quite lonely now as well.

Hugs. I am so, so sorry words can not describe it. We lost our first Pyrenees at 1 year old to the same horrible fate. The pain is unreal and something that no one should ever go through. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Many, many hugs.

I am so sorry to hear about Yukon Just remember it wasn't your fault, accidents happen and at least none of the livestock got out and hurt, too. Doesn't make it much easier, though
Ouch on the car repairs, been there, done that... you are right, it has *got* to get better - spring is coming and better weather, more daylight, hang in there!
