I understand and agree with ya....I think the grandsons act a bit different here when they come now....cause if they don't, they know I'll refuse to take them fishing....

When does he get to drive the tractor?

 

[Mike CHS]

I let him up to steer the tractor on the flats today but I was cutting the old grass in the pastures all day so he can't go there. He has steered the Ranger several times going out to feed. His favorite is feeding the ewe lambs since most of them will eat out of the bucket and they don't mind touch.

I was up talking to the neighbors this afternoon and they have several Pit Bull type of rescues that are old but super sweet and of course I got their scent all over my legs. I got home and went out to feed the dogs and for the first time, Thor growled at me. He smelled my leg and then ran around growling trying to figure out where that scent was coming from.

Good Boy! Alert to such things.

enjoy this time with that grandson mike. some years back my granddaughter lived with me and went to school. her parents made sure she had a cell phone but the rule at my house was no phone after 10:30 at night. caught her texting at 2 in the morning and the phone became mine for 3 days before I gave it back. very next night caught her talking to a girlfriend at 3 something in the morning so from that day on she had to give me her phone at 10:30 and didn't get it back until breakfast the next morning. I didn't win any popularity contests for a while. great pictures of ringo and thor. and yup, when I come home with strange dog smells on my clothes the big dogs almost snuffle my britches off.

He thought maybe there was a little dog hiding behind you

Mine had never growled at me before when I came home with other dog smell but like @goatgurl said

almost snuffle my britches off

Hopefully he doesn't bite at ghosts!

I bet, but she turned out better for your tough love.

The 8 senior ewes are showing signs of carrying lamb(s) except the spotted ewe who was so fat to start with she might be a little less fat now but shows signs of carrying. She may be a cull depending on how her yearling from this year and last year turn out with parasite load. Her and her lambs are the only sheep we have had to treat for Barber Pole worms. If we had 100% more land and kept our sheep numbers the same we could rotate around them but that isn't going to happen.

The majority of this years ewe lambs are almost ready to go in with the others and probably should pretty soon before they get any fatter. I really like the ewe lamb that we picked up at the auction a few weeks ago. She is calm and likes to be handled but holds her ground with the bossier ewes.

I had a doe for several years that barber pole worms was always a problem. one of her kids was susceptible and one wasn't. kept the one that wasn't, her kids had good resistance. and you should like the new ewe, she is a fine looking lady. the fact that she's easy to work with is just a plus. I put the ram in with all the ewes a couple of weeks ago. first of feb babies at my house I guess.

I always owe my girl but in my own defense I have to say I carry my load.
