I need a hobbie, any ideas?

[Chickie2378]

yea I am that old fashioned type of situation also.

one thing hubby has 0 and I mean 0 control over is my love of horses. When we met and later married he raised Spotted Saddle Horses and rode alot. I had my horses. Slowly he gave it up and we stopped selling. Got out of it. I never lost my love of horses and one day after my last horse passed I said, one day I will go out and buy a new horse. He said, no. We, as in 'we' are out of horses now. I looked him dead in the eye and said you will never ever tell me I can't and won't own a horse. One sentence and he got the exact meaning of what I said.

but this is us lol
I can't have someone ever say no to my one true love in life. it wouldn't work for me

It looks like you don't have any goats yet. Goats are a good hobby

Chickie-sorry to hear about your horse. we also lost our beautiful mare to some sort of neurological problem this past year. she was such a sweet horse.

Actually we used to have two. We were new to the whole thing of goats, and I bought them from someone that didn't take good care of his goats. They ended up with CL, so we had to find them a new home. Our neighbor was letting us use her property, so we didn't want that on her land. I never thought that we could get so attached to goats, but we did. I cried until we could no longer see them, as they were going down the road with their new owner. I would love to get more, but my hubby said not now.

Well if your husband ever says yes .. I would suggest Nigerians as a great breed ... They are small, sweet , loving , cute , and don't eat alot . And I will have kids in the spring for you

They sound great! Are you close to Aurora Oregon?

That's like my love of dogs. I have to have a dog in my life. So we have two. lol He told me that when the one goes, he would like to be down to one. I let him know that's something I won't agree to. My baby boy can't be by himself, he's not used to that. He has had a buddy ever since 10 weeks old. So I do pick my battles, and that is why if he says no to the goats, I will hope that one day he will say yes. Hopefully that will be tonight.

They think I need one because I put all my time into everyone else, and nothing for myself. I do want one and yet I don't. I love to help others, and I have to have thing's clean and neat. So I am not sure if I will have time for one. I love animals, they make me so happy. I love helping people as well

That is your hobby. I like helping others also. IF that fulfills you, why look for something else? Maybe take a volunteer position to get you out of the house every once in a while, if you really must?

The problem is I have a 4 year old at home with me, and then I get my older child, and babysit at 2:40 to 6. On weekends my husband works, so I have them with me.

Bummer, well if he says yes, I am sure I can find someone around here that sells healthy ones.

You could get into knitting? Or you could do dog carting with your dog(s). That way your dogs will help you do yard work/farm work?

I tried knitting with my great g'ma, and she told me that it might not be my thing, and I agreed. I would love to, but my boys are older. Or does that matter?

As long as they are healthy and don't have any problems (hip problems, heart problems ect.) then I would think they would be fine with pulling a cart. How old are your boys and what breed(s)?

My oldest is 10 going on 11 and he is a golden retriever/aussie, and my other is a rottweiler (they told me pure, but I don't think he is) lol he is a good boy though, and he is 6 going on 7. They are my babies.

Ok so I talked to my hubby and he said that we can't get them now, but for me to see if there is anyone close to us that has goats, what kind, and how much? So is there anyone close to Aurora Oregon? I am so excited! Please do know, this isn't going to be happening now, and I am not sure when. He just wants me to do my research. Thank you.
