remember to check his rear dews to see if they need trimmed, they grow faster than the other nails.

Oh thanks for the reminder. Will do when we do his shots later.Southern by choice said:I was thinking the same thing!goodolboy said:

Funny you said get another though...mom and I were just talking yesterday and I am SO ready to butcher DinDin and throw him in the oven (he is a butt!!). At that point, we will make our decision on whether or not we want to start doing goats for meat on her property and if so, we will be looking at getting at least one more LGD. In addition to having our nasty coyotes, we are now having bobcat sightings, which have been known to take down small deer from time to time so I am a little concerned about goat kids.

Whew, I am feeling a laaazzyy Sunday coming on. Got the barn straightened up, did some repairs, played with the kids until the wind was burning our cheeks. Good day.
The does all have a roomie now (happy, pee covered bucks). We had to do a little revamp of the kidding pens though because we are using them for breeding and found that our dear little does can repel off the walls and jump out! Some wire, screws, and wood now has them sitting cozy with their designated stud muffins until they come into back into heat in the next few days to a week and are bred. Charlie didn't know what to do today. He is getting very attached to his does and seeing them anxious today seemed to upset him. We let him go out in the back acre with our other dog and they had a blast, instead of having him sit and worry himself over the goats.

Hurt my hand already this morning. I went out to feed and water, dishing up each goat couple a portion of hay and fresh water for their love pens. I managed to get in and out of all three without much event (no pee sprayed on me or escapees). Then I decided to give each doe a does of Nutridrench, thinking they may not be eating as well as normal with these sex-crazed bucks rooming with them. First doe, no problem. Second doe...I slide the lock to the door open ans she jumped the door, popping it open into me and bolted. Then the buck I have her paired with sprints out and takes after a different doe who I do not want bred by him! I am trying to grab him or one of the does, as the all sprint around me, picked up one doe and tried to put her back into the pen bbut she got out before I could close the door. I then scooped up my buck (OOF!) and tossed him outside, slammed the door, and gave my does my best death glare while I caught my breathe.
I am not sure at what point I did something to my hand but it is throbbing along the crease of my palm like I slammed it inside something. These goats better make me some pretty doeling.

So much for the lazy Sunday morning.
Don't ya hate it when you get hurt and don't even know how it happened! Hope it heals up quick.
Charlie sure is growing up. Smart move getting Charlie some other dog playtime. Being a pup and in with breeding animals he really can get hurt being small still. Now when we bring a female to the bucks the dogs do not like it. They live with the bucks and really don't like the does coming in. No mis-haps but we do watch closely. Badger is so bonded with his boys he doesn't want anything near them, and cries for them if he is separated. I bet Charlie had a blast with the other dog!
Gee Pearce, you could get an Anatolian Bitch and have pyrolians! Wouldn't that be great!

Kid friendly forum here? ha
Yes Anatolians are the best as we all know and it would be cool if you had one. Something about them.
btw real fast...Callie is HUGE! She is now the second largest dogs here and weighs only 5 pounds less than Badger. She younger and female but bigger than D and nearly the same size as Badger. She's huge!
Also I hope you feel better. I HATE getting hurt and not knowing what happened. It's weird.
