Congrats on the tractor!

Those photos of your little goaties are terribly stinking CUTE!!!!

Nice when your buyer lives down the street...we sold lambs to our neighbour acroos the road from us and were called when they were close to delivering their own lambs this spring...pretty awesome...we don't own them anymore, but so great to get to see them still and their babies

It is pretty nice to know that they will be just down the road

Took this photo of my sweet Gunner. We call him Ferdinand the bull because he just wants to be friends with everyone and smell the flowers. He is truly the sweetest dog. He adores the goats, and when he saw the first kids, he just wanted to play and lick and cuddle. This is about as close as the does would allow him. He was so content to just watch them.

I'm not sure what we are going to do with the tractor other than disk up the field. Maybe drive it to town It runs fantastic though. Drew rolled it off the trailer and immediately went down the street and back. I'm going to drive it sometime this weekend.

Gunner truly is a dog with a heart of gold. I am constantly impressed by him. He loves kids, totally baby sits them. Its the sweetest thing to watch. He is my heart dog, a dog I wanted for my entire life and he turned out to be everything I've ever wanted.

WELL!

We had quite a fantastic productive day yesterday. We got home from a BBQ at about 10 pm saturday night. We live an hour away from most of our friends and had both vehicles down there so we both drove home at that late hour. Rolled out of bed bright eyed and bushy tailed on sunday. I went out to release and feed critters. Watered the garden and to my surprise, the man was up and about when I got back inside. He normally plays possum and sleeps in as long as possible. I usually make the dogs jump on him when I get tired of it

Anyway, we managed to plant a tree, plant in the garden, and cleaned up the garage. Then we hopped in the truck and drove an hour to the more populated areas of the world. Headed to Bear the Butcher to pick up dog food. Got 2 big cans of beef and pig and a whole cull ewe. Then went to home depot, walmart and Tractor supply AND we managed to get lunch and got back to the house in 4 hours! That is great time. We were home by 3 pm so we could put away the meat and we even had time to head over to a friends house in town and have dinner.

I finally got my fishing license so I can fish when we go camping this weekend (YAY)

Bought 2 rolls of fencing and t posts. Putting that up today so that when we are camping, I won't be stressing about whether or not my goats are going to be alive when I get back. The most critical area is by our one crappy neighbors behind us. Fairly sure they have a meth lab or at least a large pot grow. I dont' really care what they do as long as their damn dogs stay off my land and out of my hair. Their goat needs to stay out too!

They did indeed pay 500$ to bail their goat out. The guy came over last week yelling at us about it. Apparently his girlfriend told him that Drew called her the "N" word. Which he would NEVER do and she is white as snow anyway, so W T H?!

ANYWAY. I'm glad I got fencing. What a relief.


Babies are all good. Weather is incredible. I'm going camping and my parents are house sitting (THANKFULLY). Its more like a vacation for them. They live up on the foggy north coast so they jump at any chance to get down here in the sunshine.

I processed the ewe myself this morning. Just gotta say that a good block and tackle are life savers. I am still not up to my full strength yet so having that to help me was just great.

I'll post photos of our peace of mind AKA new fence later!

Sounds like a wonderfully productive day! Such a shame to be saddled with neighbours like that... takes your peace of mind away doesn't it? *sigh*

It does but fortunately the rest of our neighbors are amazing and we all feel the same way about these particular people. Hopefully they will get busted again this summer. They were busted last year as well.
