We finally got our barn walls and temporary stalls up!

As of today i have tramsfered my girls into the stalls, have seperated romeo and phantom and joker out since june kicked them off and was weaning them.

I am happy with their growth so far and for the most part phantoms horns are turning out phenomally! Meanwhile jokers horns have this cool white strip running up the back but seem to be a bit smaller
Apparently the rule of thumb is an inch ever month and phantom seems to fit that catagory.

Eve is round. Oh so very round. Her stomach is about the size and shape of a wine barrel

she is still terrified of me and runs at the mere sight of me *sigh* i dont know what im going to do with her. Im hoping she will chill out once she lambs which with her size im betting the family genetics of triplets is kicking in. Rosie is due soon too

She deffinitly is due soon. And so is lily!

my round little stubborn baby is now on her second lambing and i couldnt be more proud!! She got out of their new pen today and decided to meander around the barn and meet the flock of meat sheep my dad bought and is raising for christmas. It took forever to get her stubborn ass back into the pen. pregnancy really brings out the pig headedness in her though shes gone from the most stubborn and shy sheep i have ever met to the most social and still stubborn ewe i have ever met! Haha.
I also learned today that romeo with his big jelly belly can fit through teeny tiny spaces in gates so i got to be creative and found a use for some baling twine!

i dont know about you but im pretty proud of how it turned out!
Btw little unknown fact cora turned 7 this year and is still the best little farm dog i could ever ask for! (Ignore the rams butting in the back ground lol)

Btw i thought you guys would appreciate this. Since ive beaten this little depression i was in for the past little bit ive been trying to get back into photography

Its not the best but its a start and im aiming at getting better again.

Very nice to hear from you girl! Glad you're past the depression... Being depressed is depressing and it's a vicious circle. What a great looking barn! How are things on the job/employment, living arrangements, family relationships, schooling fronts going? In other words, How are ya kid?

Im remembering why i stopped living with my aunt.... my cousin is a little abusive **** who goes out of his way to ruin my day... i have a job back at my old highschool coop place. They have me in for half day shifts which is amazing. And currently im dealing with a bit of emotional instability which im finding hard to get past and im going to an open house for a patiseri course i hope to go to next year, so lets cross our fingers

So in other words im not quite thriving but im surviving

I'm sorry your cousin is such a ****, I guess your aunt can't control that. Barn and sheep look great and nice macrame job on the gate

What are you doing at the co-op job?

 

[Latestarter]

Well young lady, there's a lot of ground covered between thriving and surviving... Let's all hope you can stick toward that thriving side as much as possible. Emotions can be tricky things to deal with... Hold your head up and just keep pushing forward. You know you've got a fan club here rooting for you! Feel free to come here for a boost when you need.

Good to see you here, been missing you. Eve may calm down with lambing. I had one so wild she bounced off the walls. Three weeks before she lambed, all of a sudden she was my friend. She ate out of my hand and loved belly rubs on her big belly. She is still my sweet girl, so there is hope for Eve!

I missed you guys as well. I enjoy being able to come here and have the support i dont have offline. And im hoping that she will she litterally climbed the walls to get away fron me when i tried to check her stomach. Lol she is such a goof and works herself into such a frenzy if i even so much as look in her direction.

Here's hoping a couple of babies calms her down!
