Samssimonsays: Blazing Acres journal

I may bring her into the vet as they charge $65 for a farm visit and $100 for the labs if the tests are similar in price to any labs run for dogs... Much more than she would charge me for her.

You can pull the blood yourself and save on the $$$$.

Look it up on YouTube, its not hard. You can probably buy a redtop tube from another goatie you know.

Thank you @promiseacres They did kind of get their start here and I know how much pictures mean to this group and I sure do love taking the pictures!

We are now down to 3 in the house! It is sooooo quiet now believe it or not We are down to Dolly, Sadie hit) and Bernard and they are all potty trained. They got to stay out of the pen until bed basically last night. Laid on the couch, had snuggles and all sorts of "big dog" things that with 6-8 of them was hard to let them do as we didn't have enough arms or eyes to make them all happy and watch them all. Then, there was always someone who ruined it for the rest of them Typical siblings right? They finally got to show my husband that they know sit, lay down and shake like the back of their paws and they also go outside when the word is said. The girls don't fall for it quite as much as Bernard does but at least they can hold their bladders

10 week Pupdate!

-Dolly got to spend the day with the family who wanted her (husband said no) on Saturday and she was a hit lol. We did pick her up and bring her home but she had no accidents, went to the door and whimpered to go outside and was a very good girl. They want her back on Friday for good.

-Bernard and Sadie then came with us to go shopping and we bumped into a coworker and his dad who hung around to meet the puppies in my car and fell for Bernard. They took him home with the intent of him never leaving but 2 of their 3 dogs were not having it. They may try it again when they are going to be home the entire weekend but were concerned the bigger of the dogs that wasn't accepting him may do some real damage if they left him alone in the house even in another room. We picked him up and he, aside from Sadie, is the only pup left now.

We got to see Luna(now Sigins) and Rumely Jr(now Ziggy) during our trip to Petco and Sadie remembered them both. It was puppy social and my little weirdo was the one sitting on the sidelines watching the other pups play and if anyone got too rough she would rush in and attempt to break it up. She has always been that puppy in the litter who played referee and peace keeper.

Hard believe these puppies are already ten weeks. Geesh. Wasn't yesterday the day we were taking a poll?

I know right?! Crazy! Where did my wittle babies go...

But seriously, they have been doing absolutely amazing in their new homes and have adjusted outrageously quick and learning super quick.

Many comments back on the manners they already have and the intelligence they have shown. We raised them with how we expect our dogs to behave and our dogs also helped teach them "pack" order. Stella and Rumely did a great job at teaching them what was not acceptable and they are quick to learn who the leaders are in their new homes.

You (and Stella & Rumely, of course) did a terrific job with them all. I have no doubt you will find the right home for Bernard, either with your work pal or somewhere else. Have you mentioned having Sadie stay to your DH lately? It just seems meant-to-be, the fact that you haven't had any bites for her, yet. She's such a beauty, I can't help but think if no one is asking for her, she's supposed to stay. I hope he will see it that way. I know you're willing to do whatever he says, but hopefully he'll decide that not every dog you own needs to be a house pet, and that doesn't mean a lack of love, just that a herder needs to be near the herd, with a different routine because she'll have different priorities. You don't treat every child the same, because each one is unique, but you love them all the same. Oh, well. I know it's not my business. I just hope you two can work it out for her to stay. I'd love to have her (with that Dutch-bunny face) to go with my Dutch-bunny kitty and, someday, a Dutch bunny, but we have 2 house dogs, 23 indoor/outdoor(porch) cats, the goatie boys, and my DH says no more unless they can contribute (i.e.- chickens, does, ducks,etc.). He's right. We have enough freeloaders!
