HankTheTank and Ownedby3alpacas Journal

and with you also. Oh and BTW, those baby goats.........beautiful, they are.

 

[HankTheTank]

Speaking for both myself and Ownedby3alpacas, We need to get out of here!! There has to be somewhere we can go today
Anyone wanna come pick us up? Field trip? 3alpacas might be taking Fred to the dog park, I think that's my only chance to get out for a while...I never thought I'd ever say this, but sometimes I really don't enjoy weekends.

I sent a couple emails to people advertising ND kids, only one has gotten back to me so far and it turns out that it was a buck, so no good.

^^thats pretty much my day today.

I emailed at least 5 people about goats earlier, now I'm settling in for a day of obsessively checking my email every 10 minutes..

Everybody got their collars washed yesterday, I was completely shocked at the amount of gunk built up in them...Elf's supposedly pink collar had turned an icky shade of tan. (it's nice and pink now, and you can see the John Deere signs again) Bonnie got a brand new one from Tractor Supply, her old one was dark purple and the new one is a sort of magenta, which really suits her. The little bugers seem to have knocked a piece off their barn last night, I have NO idea how they did it, but I'll have to nail it back on at some point. Sometimes I think they just like to mess with my head....


The enormous swarm of bees has moved on!! I really didn't care for them being there, so I'm pretty pleased about that
And it's Sunday, so back to school tommorow (sort of a mixed blessing there, I don't want to go back, but at least I'm out of the house)

Happy Tourist Appreciation Day!

These are from a while ago, but I just felt like putting them up

Hank decided he wanted to come inside

And then he inspected the back of my brothers truck!

He didn't like it though, he jumped off shortly after

I am finding Bonnie a new home, most likely with one of my friends who lives on a farm. I thought she and Elf were getting along ok, though it seems they really aren't, and poor Bonnie is miserable. I figured out how they knocked that piece off the barn too- Elf slamming Bonnie into it at 150 mph. I guess I knew this was coming for a while, I just hoped they would tolerate each other a little better eventually...thought those two are a MAJOR personality clash, and I don't think they could ever have gotten along well. I suppose I could just as easily sell Elf, who is the real problem, except that I couldn't give her to my friend, because she's really NOT the type of goat to do well mingling in a farm market...she'd take off fingers and eat small children. And as much as she irks me, I like my little Elf, and she was here before Bonnie, and Hank thinks she's the greatest thing since sliced bread. This way I know BonBon is going somewhere where she'll be happier, and fawned over by people, and I can still visit her. At least there won't be a psychotic demon animal out to get her like there is here. And she won't be turned completely pulverised. Darn Elf. :/

i put boxes out for the bees and i gave them strict orders that i wanted them to move into the boxes and they left. oh, well. i guess i don't want bees that don't follow directions anyway...

and i'm going to miss that Bonnie, but i guess she'll be happier somewhere else :/

You're an odd duck....

Ok people, for hopefully the last time, here we go- http://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/grd/2972693217.html
Elf won't be able to pulverise a full sized doe, and I'm going to get one who is currently in milk, because I got Bonnie because I thought she was bred, but obviously THAT didn't work out...So. Full sized doe. Goat milk. No Bonnie beating.

And if Elf causes problems with a new goat, she is OUTTA HERE. Sorry Hank, but if she's still nasty to a milking doe who will actually have a purpose, my Wild Child is gonna be rehomed. I'm hoping for the best, I don't really want to get rid of her

I just have to give the people a call today after work and arrange a time to go visit those silly-eared things (I have ND's and I work with Nubians, so this will be quite strange, ear wise)

And after talking with my friend, she just has to check with some people at her farm and then Bonnie Bee can go....

I swear I am taking a strong liking to the Lamanchas. They have such a unique look about them. I just think I am drawn to animals that look different! I got a turken because they are unique looking! Maybe one day I will own a lamancha, or a mini lamancha at the least since I don't forsee me getting into full size goats.

I'm glad you have a new home set up for Bonnie. Hopefully Elf can get along with a full size goat.

 

[HankTheTank]

Hopefully Elf can get along with a full size goat.

If she can't, she is out. This is her only second chance, and she had better not mess up. She's already in pretty big trouble, and if she keeps on headbutting me and other goats, biting, or anything else, she will be on Craigslist pretty darn quick. I feel bad saying it, but there's only so much I can tolerate from her, and since she's just a pet it doesn't make sense to keep her anyway with a personality like that. I was planning on breeding her next year but at this rate it's not gonna happen....I really do feel bad, but there's not much I can do with her.
