Flowers!!!! from Alaska of course!
Oh.... and he asked me out on an official date!
I must be clairvoyant or something. I was thinking earlier that we hadn't heard about Mr. Alaska lately and hoped we hadn't scared him off. He must figure you are pretty special with all these people worrying over your happiness
Sooo, this date:
Skype?
Alaska?
California?
Somewhere neutral in between?

Thanks guys!!! I am super excited to meet him!!! ... but that is still a few weeks out. 
We do have our travel plans sorted out and plans for our date in mind.
So, for those of you worrying about Randall, he survived the surgery just fine!Phew! Soooo relieved of course!
He is back with slightly larger, hopefully stronger springs, to serve us for another ton or 2 of poop scooping duty! Oh, but the hardware store does not stock, googly eyes, so he is still serving blind.... I thought of getting him a seeing eyed pig or alpaca or something... but decided that another animal would just mean more work for poor old Randall (and me!) so that didn't pan out.

Thursday, I had a pretty devastating day. Had to put Bianca down. 
She was my oldest Ragdoll. My favorite cat in the whole world. Bianca was my rock. She was the one that has been there with me for half my life, every heartbreak, every broken promise.... she was there. Every hurt, every victory, every happy time, every regular day.... she was there. I started every day with kisses and snuggles and happy greetings from her and ended every night with her there with me too. I haven't really fallen apart yet. It is so very quiet and empty without my old rags. Skyler has been stuck to me more than ever thankfully, I really need it right now. He is the last of my ragdolls, but he wasn't one of my originals. Hopefully I have 13 or 14 more years with him at the very least, but we will plan on 20 OK?
I also hurt my hip. The same one I broke a few years ago. I slipped out here in the mud, compliments of the rain. I caught myself so I didn't fall, but jarred my hip pretty bad. I thought it would just work itself out over a few hours. Tried to take it a little easy, gentle stretching..... but I couldn't sleep for more than a couple hours at a time due to the pain.... Insanely painful for a few days, but it feels drastically better today.
So, I'm getting really excited to meet Alaska face to face. I'm not nervous, just excited. Oh and I used Skype for the first time tonight on a call with him. We already Marco Polo (thats a video chat, almost like text, type of communication)....I know, right!?!? Me and technology!!! Who would have figured?I think he's gonna regret teaching me all this communicating stuff.... You never know what I will figure out.... or how I can manage to mess things up ... I am pretty talented in that arena. 
I am offering a few of my boer does for sale with their kids... unfortunately bills gotta get paid. I did sell 3 ducks that weren't actually for sale too.... so that is OK.

Sorry to hear the continued bad news there for ya....
I had 9yrs with my "Little Man" so I know the feeling, but ya did get a good number of years with them and tons of memories....ya will never forget them and it will be a bit before ya grow accustomed to a day without them there. I love your boers and if ya was closer and I lived in a better area for them, I'd sure be interested in them. Really hope things work out for ya in the relationship department too. I hope the hip gets better...I twisted my bad knee in the chicken yard the other night....slipping in some icy clay soil....when is your kidding season to start this year?......
