Titan looking adorable!!

Freddy

I have NO idea what hole you're talking about...

Oh! This one?? I didn't do it.

 

[HankTheTank]

I like that pig!!

Good for you. However, if she were suddenly to be sent to, say, Sweden, there would be no complaint from me.

Lol, siblings. Thought you two had gotten lost.

Lol, siblings. Thought you two had gotten lost.

Nope.


I just dewormed the alpacas and trimmed their nails....ALL BY MYSELF and SURVIVED!! Ok, I only got their front feet, but it's still exciting. Usually I have to get my dad to hold them and it turns into an alpaca rodeo. I didn't want to wait for him to be able to come over here (stupid story that won't be told but HankTheTank knows why) so I went ahead and caught them in their catch pen and just did it. It's a good thing Luke can't speak cause I don't want him repeating anything I said to him, but overall they behaved better than I expected (I don't have any broken bones or cuts or pricks from the needle or ANYTHING.)


People drive WAY to fast past our house sometimes and end up running over the geese or ducks. They hit them and don't even slow down or seem to care that they hit something at all. I just had to go pick up a dead goose and bring her up to the house to bury later.

Got to love the wholes. Of course, I find there after the dogs have come in the house with muddy feet and yea, get out the carpet cleaner.

Yay for not dying! Doing Luke's nails by yourself is really quite impressive. I had an interesting experience at work today...So I was just getting started doing the water buckets, when a lady walks in. I had no idea who she was, but she had a tiny little dog on a leash, and she looked really out of place in a barn. She came over and introduced herself; her name was Molly Dyson (I guess she's my bosses daughter or something? I'm not sure. But Rob Dyson is like the richest guy in the state) Apparently she was "going to stay with a friend on a farm for a while, and wanted to get her dog used to farm animals". Her dog Ruby, a King Charles Cavalier, was a tiny little thing, couldn't be more than a year old. Very cute, and didn't seem too phased by all the goats staring at her. Molly on the other hand thought Ruby was freaking out. The whole time she was telling Ruby to not be scared, trying to calm her down, while all the while Ruby was cheerfully sniffing noses with a 350 pound pig. After a while, she started asking me questions about the farm and things. Everything about this lady, from what she was saying to the way she looked literally screamed "CITY!" According to her, goats sound like dogs. I'm still not entirely sure how she decided this. She wanted me to explain EVERYTHING to her, like why I had to scrub out the buckets, why I had to sweep out the barn, etc. She asked me if I had any dogs, I said yes, 3. We talked about dogs for a while, and then I realized- She thought I had purebred show dogs or something. THAT took quite a bit of explaining. She's had purebred dogs her whole life, and I guess she really couldn't grasp the concept of a mutt! She was actually a very nice lady, but she lives sooo differently from me that it's almost unbelievable. The whole time she was looking at me like she was thinking "poor kid", but honestly I really wouldn't want to be that rich. I think once you pass the million dollar mark, all common sense just evaporates, and then all that's in your head is how to redecorate your home, or what color of Mercedes to buy. Heck, I couldn't be rich anyway! I'd spend it all on goats

Yeah the Goats wouldn't like the dresses you'd put them in with all that extra money, lol.

 

[HankTheTank]

I think they'd like dresses just fine...to eat, that is!
I found this online somewhere, and thought it was pretty cool, never seen a goat do this before- http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2094037/Meet-Goatee-surfing-goat--kidding.html

 

[HankTheTank]

This actually started out as a nice picture...I think we all moved at the last second

They'd been running around all day and were finally tired out, Hank was here and Elf was napping in front of the garage. Both found sunbeams to sleep in

 

[Ownedby3alpacas]

I just took pictures of your goats...and they look identical to the ones you took yesterday. Boring creatures.
