How sweet! Thats one for the memory box!

 

[Roll farms]

Yeah, every now and then she makes me glad I had her....

I *was* having a wonderful afternoon....we brought in ALL the does, checked eyelids (NONE needed dewormer - yay!) and trimmed hooves.

It was going swimmingly until we got Blue, a dry yearling Nub, up on the stand. She has a little hard ball of an udder. Apparently she went precocious at some point, then got mastitis. She's super hairy and nobody had noticed she even HAD a little udder. I admit, I'm not big on checking udders on does who aren't bred (why would you?) so this one slipped by.

Gonna discuss it w/ the vet when I see him Tues. Thinking at this point I'll have to wait until she freshens and see what happens.

The up side is, ALL my goats (except the kids) have been checked over / hooves trimmed, etc. (we did the bucks 2 wks ago) and except for her udder, everyone passed w/ flying colors.

One other thing worth mentioning today....this morning Ellie (Nub) got her head stuck in the feeder. This afternoon, Valentine got hers stuck in a different feeder / different pen.

Apparently it was "stick your head in the feeder and yell until someone gets you out." day and nobody sent me the memo.

Happy Mother's Day to all my fellow mamas.

3am wake ups stink.

Hopefully this will be my last one, I talked to the boss last weekend and he agreed it's sorta silly for me to get up at 3 to work only 3 hrs. (He came back to our store recently and we hadn't really discussed how 'long term' me helping out on truck day was going to be).

Spent yesterday getting ready for the dogs' vet appt. today. Taking the 2 poodles in for teeth cleaning. They have to be knocked out for it and I'm scared b/c Fiddles had a bad reaction to anesthesia when he was fixed at 6 mos. He's 4.5 yrs old now. They both have such tiny mouths I can't get in there to work / brush them and their teeth look BAD. Fiddles has always had breath that smells terrible. Don't want bacteria to weaken his precious wee heart.

They got shaved / bathed / ears cleaned and their crates and blankies were washed. Since I had the clippers out I went ahead and shaved the newfie's feet while I was at it.

Taking my MIL's poodle in, too....he's Fiddle's lil brother.

Then I sold some chickens, took a bath, and went to bed early.

Have a good day, folks....I'll be a nervous nellie til I get the "He's awake and he's fine." phone call. Buttons (other poodle) is a tougher, and bigger, dog, she doesn't worry me.

Those pics were great! Lovely house and flowers. I love the peony. The beds are looking great! And I love how neat your barn area is. Geesh, ours looks like a wreck compared to yours. Those kids are getting big! And that was a great card!

I hope the dogs did well at the vet today

Yup, everybody's home and fine.

Fiddles is very..... vocal? now. Not really whiny, but more talkative than usual. And I think he's sore. Booger (Newfie) stepped on him and he yelped. Normally he just attacks him and goes on.

Amazing how these critters can worry us....

Thanks for asking about my furbabies.
