Just caught up! So much happening!
Your son is adorable, that hair.
Sorry about the lost ewe, but glad to see you still have your goat! Congrats on your new home as well.
Looking forward following your journey

I'm with ya! I was on BYC like 7+ years ago. Promptly left. Wasn't my type of people…
Lurked here for a few years and finally decided to join. I got a few long standing members to join BYH before I ever did.

@Baymule and @Goat Whisperer me too... I think I made one post at BYC. And never went back. I'm happy for the people here who will talk chicken with me so I don't have to go back. Sorry BYC-ers.
SheepGirl I am new enough that your hey I'm back post is like a hey I'm new post. Lovely little one, lovely place. So exciting isn't it? Congrats!

Congrats on everything that you've succeeded with! The Hubby to be, the son, the new home, the new job, everything else that's coming together for you. Dealing with incompetent bankers/lenders is a nightmare from hell... Glad it all worked out in the end for you.

Thanks everyone! I also forgot to mention my fiance bought three English Bulldog puppies, two females and a male. But Sunday night one of the females didn't eat her dinner and she didn't want to walk around the yard with everybody else to go potty, she just kind of planted herself in one spot. When we woke up Monday morning she was dead We're not sure what happened, it happened so quick. We've had them for a few weeks now.
And now he wants to buy another one.
I told him no, not until these others get potty trained. We also have two pit bulls that are a year old who spent most of their puppy hood in a cage and are not potty trained or trained for manners at all. So they're outside all day with their invisible fence collars on. At night they sleep in the laundry room (which is like 8x8). They were in the pool area, which has a 4' chainlink fence, but after the first week they started jumping over it. Luckily the house came with an invisible fence, we just had to buy one more collar.
And at first they wanted to kill the puppies (especially when looking at them through the window) but now they lick them. I just get worried because they want to play so they will jump and start nipping at the puppies and then I get into a little panic mode because I know when the pit bulls play with each other they start playing and then they get into nasty fights. I just don't want them to get nasty with the puppies. But the two pit bulls, Rocky and Stella, sure do enjoy their newfound freedom of running all over the yard! And boy, do they respect the invisible fence. Only problem is is that the invisible fence cuts into the field where my sheep will be, so I'm a little worried about that. Rocky was around the sheep when he was a puppy and he became scared of them, but Stella is a holy terror. She loves to chase anything that moves. But when they're outside they get into EVERYTHING. We've had to move our trash can outside their fence, they get into the bag of charcoal for the grill, they eat the soot from the fire pit, they chew on wood, they're ridiculous. And you can yell at them and tell them "no" and they will stop, but an hour later they're at it again. It gets old after a while.

I thought we were crazy for doing 4 puppies (and a litter) in 3 years.... You win! 
You are like a saint to deal with all of that! I am so sorry about the loss of your pup. So heart breaking
