Hahaha thanks queen mum but what good are nieces if they don't give you a hard time every once and a while. I think they get that from me. I just remind them that this dork was in a movie (though it was not the best) and a model LOL.

Yeah, me too.

It is a low budget film called homeless for the holidays. It was about this rich family that looses everything and then threw acts of kindness become rich in love. Hahaha. Its a kids christmas movie and it was 2-3 years ago. I was just a bartender in the background. But it was still cool to say I was in it. I know you can see clips on youtube.

Here is the address to the trailer on youtube. To bad it doesn't show me, I am literally in the movie for like 15 seconds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIf-D67J3Mk

Well today everyone seems to be doing well. I got chores done and then tilled 1/2 of the garden. I am pooped, I really have nothing interesting to say today sorry.

You could say, "Kim, I'm going to bring you some chicken salad."

I'd find that terribly interesting.

HAHAHA Kim you will get your chicken salad one day here soon.

Well I had to work today like every other Thursday then after work I had to interview 3 people. As you may remember from earlier post I was asked to be on the hiring committee for a new youth 4-H extension educator. well 3 people and 4 1/2 hours later no one is hired yet. 1 person is a no and 2 are possibilities. Me and another person like 1 candidate and the other 3 like another. I can not really talk about it but we are doing 2nd interviews to pick them apart a little more.

Well Storm is still not doing well like I had thought, so today my wonderful neighbor and fellow goat lover gave me some banamine for him so we will see if that helps any. I am hoping he is just a little swollen. I really thought goats would be easy but every year except the first year I have had some sort of problem. Maybe cattle are cheaper in the long run. I just hope he feels better or else I may have to sell him as an Easter kid and get Kerigan a new market wether.

Its thursday so here is my bottle baby weigh-in. Not as impressed as I would have liked but I think they are growing. These weights are before they have eaten. I hope thats how I did it last time. I know that is how I will do it from now on.

Jager-15 pounds 3 oz.
Porsche- 13 pounds 1 oz.

ADG'
Jager- .28
Porsche .41

Let me just say Porsche is a little "special" when it comes to the bottle. She has still not figured it out and it is really frustrating. I try to feed them both at the same time but I have to hold her by the neck and put the nipple in her mouth for her to eat. Once it is in her mouth she is fine and I can start feeding Jager. But you know they do have to take breaks so then I have to start all over with holding her and getting the nipple in her mouth. She would rather just full force push the bottle either mouth closed or open into her belly. she does not understand she needs to find the nipple and suck. I have even tried waiting until she finds the nipple on her own but after 5 minutes I had enough and placed the nipple in her mouth. Once again why do I get bottle babies?

I get the occasional kid who does that....drives Jeff crazy. I have a 'leg technique' I use (took years to perfect this skill) where I use my leg to block their forward / pushing motion and stick the bottle in front of them...they push on my leg instead of the bottle and start sucking. I just drop my leg until they let go, then do it again as needed.

Right now the Obs are driving me buggers. They were being raised on a Caprine bucket so they climb on me, thinking I'm the 'bucket holder' and jerk and pull and butt like crazy. I just about have to dress in full combat gear to feed the lil buggers.

Boy this has been one crazy weekend. Friday night I had to house sit so I was not home much after 10 p.m. when I fed the babies. Saturday I got up and rushed home to feed the babies and do all the chores. Storm was back to not feeling well so we gave him another shot to see if it helped again. Then went and got the truck and trailer and loaded up the 7 adult does and hauled them over to my dads. They didn't seem sad to leave their kids, but the kids were a little upset. Got them into their new pen and settled in. Then went to a friends and cut up some firewood for a bon-fire that night. cut down a few more trees and just hung out and had a good time. Then it was time to come home to give the last bottles. I got home this morning and Storm is worse he is not really moving. I am just at a loss as to what to do for him I am a little worried this may be the end.

Cut the band off.

Has he had both CDT shots?
