It almost looks like a strange leafy ladybug.

I think you're right! We have been so over run by asian beetles that it is super rare to find a pure lady bug here. Over run to the point that last year people were getting swarmed by them and they BITE!

Sadie is 6 months old already... I can't believe how fast time has flown by! She has been one of the most well behaved puppies we have ever owned honestly. And certainly the happiest as she has been dubbed "wiggle butt" for said reason. She is showing more Rumely body and face as well as personality wise every day.

My smoothie packs I pre made just begging for Scarlet's milk to be added :drool

On weekends, Scarlet gets separated from Rosco for 12 hours and gives me a lot more than during the week.

Look at all that froth! :ep

Today will be Rosco's first entire day away from Scarlet. Tomorrow he will be with her during the day tomorrow and hopefully in rotating them in days it will ease the weaning transition for him... :hide

I can be hopeful, right?

Yesterday after being away from rosco all night Monday and all day tuesday, this is what I got. He was throwing tantrums and hitting the side of the barn which made her a nightmare to deal with... She also ended up holding back on me. Yes I zeroed out the weight of the jar first :lol:

As for this morning, she was much better but so was he. As soon as he realized I was in with scarlet he flipped into his tantrums. She then just quit like someone turned the faucet off... :barnie

She is back with him for today,making both happy, and we get to do it all again starting tonight $:\$

I've finally got a system that allows me to use a bucket and milk with two hands :celebrate
