Bones for dogs?

Or perhaps bone broth!

My sister is a professional shopper. You can’t drag me in a mall with a bulldozer. Her house is perfect, decorated to the hilt with all kinds of what I consider to be cutesy crap. If I have to dust it, I don’t want it, except for essential items. She is pure city, shopping is her entertainment. I live down a dead end dirt road in the middle of nowhere and I’m perfectly happy.

Green Acres...

No, I've found giving bones to the LGD's causes very hot battles and sometimes they bite through the bones and eat them like candy but it shreds their gums and they bleed all over. So no, no bones this time. My dogs might be broken. Or it may just have been Bailey. She was a little odd about food.

Merry Christmas. May your holiday be warm, peaceful, and content as we contemplate the birth of our Savior.

Today we rolled out all the round bales and Mark drove the trailer into the barn to be under cover and out of sight. Then we rolled the rounds back in (11 left). Mark learns very fast with the trailer and he becomes very precise very quickli but it was difficult for him because he's allergic to the hay dust! ...and then there was the four year old jumping around inside the truck while he was learning...It's never simple.

I also got a blue seal dairy goat delivery from "The Mill". They put it right in the barn. I'm amazed. Maybe we'll be okay feed wise.

I also found a holstein dairy that's selling extra alfalfa and I'm seeing if I can arrange a delivery so i can continue feeding alfalfa with the orchard rounds. The bales are more like 40 lbs, but it's still cheaper than feeding pellets and good protein is a magic bullet against parasites and for good growth and milk production.

Here I am attempting to follow the "pics or it didn't happen" rule.

I went to test drive a very well maintained 2014 F150 Lariat today. I think I like it. Our van is also a 2014 luxury vehicle (that has had children and goats in it regularly since we got it). I'm starting to think cars peaked in niceness 10 years ago.
