Oh that is mean. I read your subject and thought "how many animals did she lose, was the barn destroyed, etc". Glad everything is OK.

You are too early for an April fool's joke - that was not nice.

OH MY GOODNESS. I was so worried. I thought, "What a nightmare! THIS IS TERRIBLE." YOU PILL! You scared the daylights out of all of us. Now, that we are all calmed down. How is your heart?

Like everyone else, I was terrified of what I would read opening this up...then the tears started rolling...tears of laughter
I'm glad it turned out to be a false alarm!

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.

Oh my gosh what a scare. I am so sorry for thinking it was funny when you said, I didn't know he could run so fast. I could just picture your face. So happy to hear the it was lights on the tractor. At least it was practice for you guys, right?

Last night was uneventful. I had to move the electronet because we are expecting severe storms and it was too close to the creek.

We are all calmed down from the "emergency" and can laugh about it now. Hubby said yesterday he ran right between two fence posts without the fact they had barbed wire strung between them. Good thing I had taken the barbed wire down the day before.

Trouble's kids are adorable! I will get pics this weekend, I promise.

TS called so I think we can come to an agreement. I am still ticked about it.

"real" job sucks right now. I want to go home.

I got about 150 chicks last night for $0.50 each. I had to hurry and put together a bunch of brooders since I didn't expect so many. And it was cold last night so I had to get a bunch of lamps.

Then a neighbor called and asked if I could come over and look at his goat. He thought she should have kidded by ow and she hasn't. The poor thing is a tiny boer, about 50 lbs and she was bred accidentally. She is this guy's pet and he is worried about his little girl. Her ligs were gone and she had a little discharge but her udder wasn't completely in yet. Her condition was pretty bad, her said he has been giving her about 3 lbs of grain a day and she just isn't gaining. I told him she was putting everything into the kids and she should kid within a few days. I told him to call me if she had trouble. I am really concerned those kids are huge. He called today and said she still hasn't kidded but her udder has gotten much bigger.

I got the electronet moved again, now it is on the side yard.

And here are Trouble's kids! They are adorable.
