Pendergrass Ranch - Big changes!

[PendergrassRanch]

Big guy Guido got a haircut. We just trimmed off the mats that were hanging off. The coat underneath them is pretty nice!

Before. He had mat pads over both rib cages, hips and down the back of his legs.

All the mats

Looks pretty happy to have those mats gone

Drew brought him some grain to make up for putting him through the torture.

Tuffy whos coat is just fine but needs to be sheared.

I am totally in love with them...shhhh don't tell anyone that knows me because they were suppose to be dog food but they are really cool guys and will probably stick around for a few more years...hehehe

Those boots were a birthday gift from a good friend. They are one of my favorite pairs

I told Drew about how they will do anything for grain so he tried it LOL

Gunner is afraid of them

Poor Gunner! It's funny though because pit bulls (which I am assuming he is) have the rap for being viscous dogs yet yours is scared of a goat! We have a pitbull/boxer mix ourselves who is an absolute sweetheart. He's never been let loose around the goats though. He did get to see them when they were allowed to roam the backyard a few months back before they were in their new lot. He was quite excited by them.

He is what many would call a pitbull. I call him a bully breed shelter special He is the sweetest dog I have. My chihuahua is more ballsy than Gunner. We don't let the chi out when the goats are out because he wants to bark at them and I am sure one of them would probably try to kill him.

This is what Sprocket does when he sees the goats.

Bit of an update on the dog that killed my 5 chickens...

Today was a strange day. Gunner was barking at the back door and I thought it was the workers that were scheduled to come over so I went to investigate. I saw 2 shady MOFOs standing in my pasture, by my goats. So I walk out there and ask what was going on. They said they were looking for their dog and that they didn't want it to "get my goats". Well I said "thank you very much but I can take care of your dog if it gets my goats so please get off my property". They asked "well can we walk to the front of your property to go on the street". I said "I don't care what you do, just get off my land". So I stand there and wait for them to move, they turn tail and jump the fence between us and the nice neighbor and then use his property to walk to the street.

Now if these people had come to my door to warn me that their dog was loose, I would have probably helped them look for it, but you don't just hop my fence and stand in my pasture. That ticked me off.

So I grab my .45 and set it by the back door and call AC. Report the loose dog.

Workers show up so I have to talk to them for a bit, I warn them of the loose dog, not knowing if its human friendly or not.

So a few minutes go by, I didnt' have to be at work so I kept an eye out for the dog and those 2 guys. I see them walking up and down the road, calling the dogs name. I watched them run up another neighbors field and along side their fence calling the dogs name, it seemed as if they had spotted the dog and were swearing at it. Then I saw them walk back, and then down the road again saying something about how the dog got out and whos fault it is.

So I'm just on my front step watching all of this. I go inside to check my dogs and then I see the AC officer pull up in my driveway and jump out. I of course run to the door because this guy has been here twice already because I call about loose dogs.

He runs up all excited and says "Come see what I have in my truck!". So I follow him out and he opens the door. There is that damn husky dog from down the street! The SAME DOG that got my birds! Apparently it got our neighbors birds from across the street. So now the owner was contacted and he is "out of town". He says he will pay the fines but I'm hoping he doesn't want to show his face and this beautiful dog can go to a rescue and find a home more suitable.

I may not get reimbursed but YAY they got the dog!

Picking up 2 possibly 3 Nigerian does tomorrow morning. The 2 for sure are a year old and have had triplets and twins previously. They are just unwanted right now and they are free. The other one is a registered doe that has blue eyes but we might not be able to get that one if the owners still want her. The woman who is boarding her is going to find out.

Exciting! Now I just need a Boer buck...

Your totally lucking out on your free goat finds. Wish I could find free Nigerian does.

If you got a boer buck you'd have to get some full size does. Nigerian/Boer doesn't mix when the nigerians are the does.
