Peteyfoozer’s Journey (because journaling’s not enough)

[Baymule]

Here. He can come here. Mister, too.

Just not something you'll be doing anytime soon. Many days & years you will be hanging with us

Send her your name and information.

@peteyfoozer you need to make an animal will and make sure Randy knows where it is. Give Mini Horses yours and his phone numbers, so if you disappear on us, she can call and find out what is going on.

You might consider a list of possible recipients or beneficiaries for Boone and Mister in case circumstances arise where someone on the list couldn’t take them. Transportation and the cost could be a problem for many, especially going from one coast to another.

@Mini Horses and I could take a once in a lifetime "bucket list trip".... actually commercial horse transport would be cheaper, and they have all the insurance and stuff... since that is what they do.....

At Mister's age, I would hesitate shipping him across the country...

I don't know anything about how to go about making those kind of arrangements... I know that @rachels.haven has had goats shipped and @secuono also has sheep shipped . @Mini Horses was into showing her mini's for years and traveled all over... and @Palomino also has show animals and has all sorts of connections with horse shipping.

What about where Boone originally came from? Many LGD breeders will take back their "offspring" to rehome to a place they would work. Boone has not been exposed to sheep and goats though. Not saying he would not be good at it... but his talents have been directed in a different direction so would take a little retraining...

Well, things to think about but don't think it is something that you need to consider imminent... you will still be around "grousing" about Randy and his normal self for a long time....and we will be commiserating and laughing at the antics there...

Mister and Fen will be fine with Randy. Just not Boone. I have to manage Boone so he doesn’t get out of control towards Fen. Randy doesn’t recognize any warning signals and is a master at “untraining”. The breeder might take him though not happy he is my SD. But he has been around and is protective of the leppy calves, poultry and rabbits and spends most of the night outside with them by choice, even though he’s not bonded. He would learn to guard livestock easily, if he was introduced properly so as to bond with them.
I will definitely work on this. Thanks you guys. You’ve given me much to consider. Thank you, @Mini Horses !

Welp, after 2 days of not being able to get up at all, I am back on my feet again.
Mostly I will be cleaning up a mess the 3 bois
made over past 2 days. Luckily I had made lots of shepherds pie and shrimp fried rice before I went down so there are no pots and pans or stove to clean, which is a relief.

Wallpaper came for bathroom, hoping he will remember to make a list of what he needs to tape the drywall and put sash on window, fix wall where mold was etc. Then I can paint, get the wall paper on top half and paint the two cupboards and it will be nice after 17 years to finally have one room finished! It’s kind of depressing to go in there the way it is. Not as relaxing to soak in tub as it could be. So thats what I have my heart set on now, cuz I need a goal. That and finding some way to earn enough for a water heater so I can fill the tub
