No, not yet. I am thinking of Ramona (as in Ramona the Pest by Beverly Cleary -children's book) for the eared min because she is overly friendly and seems to annoy everyone, 'cept me... I love her! I am thinking of Music for the Black elf eared mini. Someone suggested Mosaic for the other and I liked it but changed it... so these are tentative.
We sure have been busy in one way or another. LOL
Doing house stuff. Still can't pick my colors.![:\](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/side.png "side :\")
We had snow for 2 days, one day off and on alternating with sleet, 2nd day snow... dusting with no accumulation... too wet out. COLD!
Craziness seems to happen at the worst times.
Let's see...
We had a baby goat screaming at 1 am... 3 of us are out in muck boots and jammies getting a baby goat unstuck from the OLD feeder.
Seriously! Don't know how she jammed her leg down through a 1" gap.
Chunk also ended up at the vets...
Found out a doe was confirmed pregnant- throws everything off now... the other doe open
Got a tree, had family over, decorated tree.
Too many "dog" calls this week. Some people really are great and others... you know within the first 3 minutes to not waste your time on them.
Planning for kidding.
Trying to get our act together to file paperwork for DHI and LA. Found out LA will be in August.
Oh, and my friend sent me a pic of the BEAR! in her neighbors field ... my friend owns some of our goats, has no LGD! She is 7 miles from us.
Deer in rut and coyotes fast behind seems to keep my dogs going most nights right now- mostly the teams in the woods.
Haven't been back on the path that is just behind our fencing... I am wondering if I will find deer remains.
The coolest thing this week, actually one of two cool things... my son got on video (on his phone) a whole family of otters from the creek... it is the creek at my next door neighbors place that all my kids like to go to. Waiting for him to send me the video! It really is cool! Such amazing creatures!
Other cool thing... had a car pull up... threw on boots and the people really wanted to know if they could get out and look at the goats.
I said we aren't a petting a zoo... and started to say more when one of the people- the one guy said, "you have LAMANCHAS!"
Well then everything changed
I was so happy
someone knew what a Lamancha was and didn't ask why the ears are cut off I said well, sure ya'll can see them. Stay clear of the fence and dogs though.
Long story short the guy knew all the breeds! It was pretty cool! We talked for awhile. I think they are taking our 3 turkeys in a few weeks and I have his number, he really wants two mini manchas! He has a small farm, no dairy goats but had meat goats at one time. They want dairy goats.
Really nice people. I was cold to the bone by the time I went back in though. The dogs even settled quickly and relaxed enough to move away from the fence... all the lamanchas were up at the gate by then.
So that is my boring update.
