Straw Hat Kikos

[Southern by choice]

Straw the idea is NOT to switch blue tarps for brown and D is not a wimp in the rain so.... . I think you really should let your readers know just how much "precious little Callie" really is in the house. At least I can admit my baby loves the house (for 15 minutes ). Callie is just as big of a love sponge as D and just as jealous for attention.


And I have photo evidence.... don't make me use it!

Build or no build... that is the question! It's beautiful out almost 70 degrees today, we could get it done by 3pm...

LOL, laughing over that blue tarp.
The design doesn't look bad for the roofs. Those pallets on the ground really bug me though - all I think when I see them are leg fracture hazards! :/

What you guys can call shelters in the south is WAY different than in the north.

Those goats are adorable....especially C1. Hope she got all the good genes. Your dog war...love that too. Todd and I have our own dogs....sounds familiar. But we have 6 total, not just 2.

I worry sometimes about their feet in the gaps of the pallets but their feet are so big that they can't get them into the gaps. I find pallets with the smallest gaps I can. I like some gaps though that way the goat poop can fall thru which makes it very easy to get for compost and they don't sleep in it.

I hope she did too. Only time will tell, eh?

Our dog war is rather funny and we give each other crap all the time but really both our dogs are GREAT and we both love each other's dogs as much as our own. Well, nearly. All the dogs are great though. Oh and I only have one dog but Southern has 5 dogs so there are 6 dogs here. D is just her favorite.

What are the other 4 dogs?

Sorry I'm late to the picture party. Love the new pictures of C1 (she still needs a name!). I hope I get a baby as pretty as that.

Our goats don't sleep in the shelter either unless we lock them in it. They all bed down at the top of the hill by the fence at night. I guess in bad weather they'll go to their shelter. They are fed in their shelter though and their hay is in there too along with a water bucket. They just seem to prefer to hang out outside at night.

Southern has three Great Pyrenees'. D, Badger, and Amy.
She has one mutt, Lucy. She's just a farm dog.
She has one German Shepherd Dog, Lina.

All baby goats are cute so I'm SURE you'll get something very adorable. haha

Yeah, it seems as if most goats prefer to not be in a shelter. I know alot of people with Boers say the same thing. I love it though.

Thanks for the dog updates

No goats here, but my sheep stay out a lot at night too.

You don't have any guard dogs right? Just a llama, correct?

Correct - and she's right out there with them. She is always somewhere on the edge of the flock, wherever they go. Good Stef!
