What a week poor Annie has had. I guess she had hook worms. Whatever that is.... So we got her doctored and now she is eating, well like a goat..... A friend of ours came out and said she is sick. Me being the great goat farmer that I am, didn't notice anything wrong... So we dewormed her and also figured out that she isn't pregnant... Which is a total bummer since that is why I bought her. I wanted to have the baby and also milk her. Oh well, I will have her all healthy by next year to breed her. Now Letty, the black goat, she is definitely pregnant. Her little belly isn't so little anymore. I wish she wasn't so wild. I am going to have to tie her just to milk her. If any of you are goat tamers let me know how to break this lady.... My first thought is to bribe her like I do the kids with candy. But the trick is to get her to come and get it... So we will see what happens this week on that note. On the other hand the little white goat is so tame she is in your way all the time. She even jumps up on you like a dog. If you sit down she wants to be in your lap. Of course she loves to eat my hair and wedding ring. They say a girls best friend is diamonds.....
I am still asking prayer for my Dad. They will do a cathider on monday into his groin and into his heart. I guess there are some risks with the procedure so that is scarey. I am just praying for healing for him and peace for my Mom.
I better get these varments up to get on with our day. With no WIND EVENT for the day I am sure this afternoon we will be outside. Lord only knows these kids have been cooped up tooooo long. God Bless
Awww! Goats are such funny creatures.
ReplyDeleteIt's always exciting when they have their babies, they'll be into everything! :)
A curb chain off a bridle make perfect goat hobbles while milking. Daddy rigged up a chain, with a snap that he attached to the back of the milking stand. Then he put the curb chain around both legs, and stretched them back, and just snapped the snap to them!
Lol-does that even make sense? ;)
I have to admit, I've seen a lot at my job, but today was the first time I help herd goats!! :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the blogosphere!
Hi Joy! So glad to see that you've joined in on the blogging world! It's addictive! Goats aren't much different than kids - into everything! Will keep your Dad in our prayers - let us know if we can help with anything.
ReplyDeleteI'll tell John to call John. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat will be fine for ya'll to come to the hospital! :) I remember seeing the twins too, it's hard to believe how long ago that was already! John and I had only been dating a few months! I remember your John telling my John that it would be us in a couple of years... and sure enough, here we are!
Lol, yeah I think blogging is pretty cool! Especially when you don't get to see people very often, it's a great way to stay in touch!
