Maybe it's time for Bruce to consider getting another dog to use that large dog bed....

Not likely. It might bark at night.

@Bruce you could get a Basenji. They don’t bark, they yodel! Just teasing!
In complete seriousness, my Aussies aren’t barkers. They don’t bark unless there is something to bark at. Maybe you could do a dog that only comes in the entryway (several people do!) and you are outside enough for the dog to get plenty of exercise. Crate training is magnificent and you’d be amazed how fast these dogs learn what’s expected of them!

Feeling a bit overwhelmed with trying to keep up with everything.
We will be streamlining some of our projects. Chickens are currently in three pens, we will cull and sell to get down to two for greater ease through the winter. Need to get the heifer finished for the 4-Her so she can take her home. That gets 3 more animals off our farm. Also still have the steer here that I castrated for another 4-Her. I think they want him broke before he leaves. We didn’t offer but he’s here. Our new bull will be here sometime this week and we are going to tame him some too. Have a Steer broke that just needs sold. Need to get pics and post him on fb. That’s two more animals off the farm if those steers leave.
With some of those cattle gone, we will have somewhere to put goats while we clean their pens. There’s excess hay pushing against all of the gates making it miserable to open and shut them. Would take a lot of stress off for that to be easier.
By then it’ll be time to arrange calving pens. Pork Chop will need a different pen as he’s in the kidding stall. Plans need to be made to redo the corral/alley behind the barn. We also want to switch the cattle to rotational grazing so we need to finalize those plans. I’ve already started on cattle breeding plans for spring. Trying to decide what goats I can add...I know I want at least one Nigerian buck if not two from NC. Some of it depends on who has what when I’m down there. I’d also like to add more Lamancha or Mini does from SBC. I’ve talked to someone else about two Mini does so we shall see what’s born. There should be an Anatolian coming after Christmas too. Whew! (Going to wait a few weeks to mention horses to DH again!)
Now if my head would just stop itching!
I cleaned like a mad woman yesterday AND made supper. For the way I cleaned, I’m surprised that I cooked. I’m still weary!
Supper last night was homemade pizza.
Kids’ plain cheese. They normally want sausage so I humored their request.
Garlic cheese sticks.
Chicken bacon ranch. Something different that I make to change things up. It had been awhile since I’d last made it.

Pizzas look delicious!
You have so much going on! Please take care of yourself to get through it all.
