Luvmypets Journal: A New Season

[luvmypets]

Im really happy because from now on my dad will be coming home on the weekends Along with my dad has come my gmas dog who..well we dont exactly get along. Although he is going to be ours now so.. He loves my dad and my brother but he has bitten me several times. My dad and brother can pick him up and move him but even if I stand in his way he gets fresh. And as someone who gets along with most animals its kinda a bummer ..

The animals have been doing alright, the heat has been a nuisance for them. Only 20 more days until shearing. Im so excited for all the fleeces I am about to get! Im gonna have 10 in total Im probably most excited for Geno's fleece, it's just so gorgeous and soft Everyone is healthy and happy and we seem to be going well. Also something I never mentioned that is a pretty big deal is that we went solar a few weeks ago

And pictures because DUH

Here is my gmas dog Duffy being checked out by the herd. One thing I do have to say is that he is incredible with the animals.

And the lambs of course!

Rosie and her...triplets??

All of my babies together

Little Ras being the cutest

Kevin O' Bacon cooling off

Oh and we FINALLY upgraded our muck wagon. Finally I can finish an entire stall in one trip.

Hope ya'll enjoy

With all that mud??? Kinda like those processing chickens who hate to pluck... that hog needs to be skinned!

Well, one good thing about the dog....ya won't have to tend to it, your brother will. I like the upgrade, I know 1 trip is better than 2...and you'll have fleece for yrs after shearing. Is there a market there for the fleece?....or is it fairly non-existant? I know they used to sell it up that way back in the mid '60s, but even cotton isn't "King" here anymore either.

Lol I was waiting for someone to ask that And I dont know how the shearer would feel about that

See I wish that were true but my dad always makes me watch him even tho he doesnt listen to me for diddly-squat. He just stands at the gate and yaps

Regarding the fleece, there is some market for it but Im not sure if its really worth it

Glad your father will be home more often!

There is some reason your brother CAN'T be in charge of the dog? It needn't be the family's dog, it can be your brother's dog.
