Sure hope all the health issues work themselves out and that you are able to keep things on an even keel.

TY everybody! Brother-in-law went to docs today, all is good. Mother-in-law not feeling so well, has a cold and over all feels blah, hope she feels better soon.
So we still don't have any babies yet. More goop and other signs.
I don't think Miss Poppit is expecting either. My wether and ram were after her the other day.
Take dogs for daily walks and they love that. usually my daughter goes with. Yesterday I took them by myself, short walk. They did really awesome. Didn't know if I was going to have trouble or not by myself. Since they did so well yesterday, I took them for a longer walk today. Still am amazed at the gift I got when I got these two.
Tahoe, has become more assertive with the chickens if they get to close to the barn the dogs sleep in. The goats are not comfortable sleeping with the dogs yet, so they use one barn and the dogs use the other. Poppit & Pippy are the most comfortable with the dogs. They have no problem being right up next to them or underneath them(walk right under the dogs lol), but still do not sleep any where near them.
The older goats and Diva(Hazel's baby from spring) are progressing. They don't choose to go near the dogs, but if the dogs happen to approach me when I am beside any of these goats; they don't shoot off like rockets any more.
Hoof trimming tomorrow. The sheep should be great fun...lol.
Coyote scat at top of knoll behind the barn. So glad Yukon and Tahoe were available when they were. Definitely feel better with the two dogs out there.
Have one more project I am hoping to finish before the next big snow fall. Then after kidding I can just hang out with all my animals after feeding. I just love to hang around the pasture and give them all some attention as well as watching the kids play.

Hoof trimming all done and without to much fuss from my goats, sheep are good for now.
Glad the weather is holding off, it's cold, but at least we aren't getting much in the way of snow right now. I can work with this.
Supply trip most likely tomorrow.
I have two very pregnant does that are throwing me for a loop
. Both ladies passing a large amount of goop, especially yesterday for Annabelle and this morning for Haze. A lot of stretching, yawning and very puffy lady parts. Nothing else beside just grump pots! With as much goop that was flowing out of Annabelle yesterday afternoon I figured some good labor by this morning. 
Joke is on me again. Then Haze surprised me this morning at 6am with even more goop than Annabelle.
This is my first pregnancy & delivery with these two so I don't know what their previous signs have been. I do know that the three I had deliver last year had their babies within hours of this goopy stuff and one within 20 minutes. previous owner was sent a picture of Annabelle last week with goop on lady parts and she said she should deliver in 24 hours, fooling me just because she can I think. The goat not previous owner.
These two are definitely keeping me guessing as to what is going on and when the babies will be here
.
Discovered today that Yukon will eat the chicken eggs if the hens lay them within the pasture and he finds them before we do. At his age and not being able to catch him in the act every time I don't know how to attempt to fix this.
So if all goes well(and we all know how that works
) I will be running more hot wire to extend the pasture tomorrow as well as setting up my kid barn. So far those two projects got put on hold for something or another. With those complete I will feel like I accomplished what I wanted for fall/early winter and will be ready for the harsh winter weather(YUCK!
).
Mother-in-law is feeling much better, brother-in-law doing good and waiting on another doctor visit for significant other.
So I & daughter continue with the
and are the babies here yet? from family and friends.
