Trouble's babies are 4 and 4 1/2 pounds. I knew they were tiny. Hope to get y'all pics tonight but I is going to be a late one.

Wow. Congratulations! She definitely earned her name, but at least she's a good mama.

Last night I was walking the hounds for their final p-stop before bed. I came around the corner of the house and looked up at the barn. I see orange lights in the barn, right where my brooder boxes are. What the heck- THOSE LIGHTS ARE MOVING! I run back in the house, yell BARN! FIRE! and run to the back of the house. I slip on my boots and dash out the door. I am running up the hill, Hubby is halfway there. I didnt know he could run that fast. I am thinking, fire extinguisher by the door, goat water buckets in the stall, see if you can get Trouble and her kids out of the stall Keep in mind, we are on a cistern, have no outdoor water tap and no running water at the barn.

When I get about 10 feet from the barn, the lights diminish. I think Thank goodness for the fire extinguisher! I open the door and hubby is walking towards me. He says Hazard lights on the tractor were turned on Dang cats must have hit the switch.

So all is well, everyone is safe. I was dead tired but after that I couldnt get to sleep for an hour. If I am going to get my heart rate up like that just before going to bed I can think of much more pleasant ways to do it.

I have done the same exact thing!! My DH has this stupid construction sign that has a flashing light on top stored in his shed and it is solar powered. I have my baby chicks in his shed and I always peak out the window of the house to make sure I can see their heat lamp glowing throw the shed window. One night I saw flashing orange flickers and I ran out there with a bucket just knowing it was a fire. Somehow the light on the sign got powered up enough from the heat lamp glow to start flashing!!! I just about had a heart attack and like you, there was no way I could go back to sleep after that adrenaline rush.

Glad to hear your "barn fire" was not a real one.

Well thanks for the near- heart attack, Jodie.....now I gotta get my heart rate down....

 

[autumnprairie]
