Well, if you "don't see it" the first time, or even the second, I guess there's a better than even chance you'll only see it if you 'trip over it" down the line, or someone outright points you to it. :gig:lol::hugs

Bahahaha! I am notorious for being able to read through those jumbled words faster than nicely written ones.... :hide I am also mildly dyslexic with words and pretty strongly so when it comes to math with extreme stress such as during tests..... :cool: thanks for having a good laugh with me all! :gig:yuckyuck

Ellie with her bottle :gigShe is a hoot. After a bumpy start with her first bottle with me we are on a roll. I just had to loosen up the nipple a bit to help it stretch. No issues since :celebrateShe is growing beautifully and we have upped her intake now that she is finishing bottles. Just letting her tell me when she needs to be upped and so far so good. No use in forcing her because she has an off switch and will just stop and walk away.

Yestersay we had a get together at a friend's house. Happens I year however, this year we had ellie. And being as that we live 25 minutes from them I wasn't going to drive home to give her her bottle, drive back, drive home to give her third bottle and drive back. So, she came with. She slept on my lap in the sun. Followed people around, lounged in others laps and fully enjoyed herself with all the love and attention she got. We left the house at 11 am and didn't get home 'til 2 am.

It is really easy to see that she is NOT spoiled. :)
Nope. Not at all :gigthere are so many pictures of and with ellie on the Facebook event page this morning it is hilarious. The first half of the day was at the shooting range and she didn't even flinch. Just slept right through it. Even would be out bouncing around during the gun fire and explosions. Obviously behind the fire line. :ducbut she had a blast.

And so the electric net training starts.... :D =D:lol: scarlet got hit and the look she gave us was a death glare. They all got hit but Cece and the babies. Babies are in the barn and will be when the fence is hot due to how small they are. Ellie got tangled in it pre turning it on and that solidified our decision further. Had to run to get hubbys truck and just got home to them all lounging around in the sun. In the main pen, not the netting that has expanded their pen.... :barnieoh well. At least they are learning yo respect it! Or something anyways :bow but so begins the "abuse" of the electronet fencing for my goats :gig oh. Stella got hit too. She stepped on it to stand up to see the goat and got her leg. Stella too may learn to respect a fence.... :fl
