Goats they are all here.

Well at the goats gave birth.  We now have 4 mommies, 1 daddy and 8 babies.  We still have 3 babies in the house.  Bdd (baby daughter 16 yrs) is trying so hard to keep her 2 baby goats house goats, in the house forever !  She keeps telling them they can stay until she gets married (many years from now ) and then they can be house goats with her husband! 

I laughed and told her they can be the maid of honor and best man , even though they are both girls  !!  We all most lost one thought the other night.  We had one bloat so bad we did not think she would make it.  But my mdd (middle daughter 17 yrs) walked and rubbed her left side all night long.  Well she passed all the gas she had and made it.  We are very happy at that.  She is such a sweet and mellow goat we hope for her to go to a petting zoo , her brother tooo.

We do have a buyer for all the goats, we just need to decide who to keep and who goes to a new home and to see if we can find a petting zoo for the 2 mellow ones.  With the girls getting so much older going to college we are trying the key word is TRYING to cut done on some of the animals, again TRYING.  We want the farm life still and will still rescue but we will start to adopt them out instead of keeping them all.  so far we have cut down on the birds, chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys.  Now it is the goats turn.  We have also cut down on horses.  We have 4 at this time.  We will save more when I am up and running again, but they will be adopted out. Oh and the  rabbits have been cut down, as the older ones have passed and we are down to one, of course the girls want 1 more for a friend of the one, but we are standing with a firm NO.   We also will not be getting anymore cats.  We have 4 house cats , we lost one in Feb or we would have 5.  Hubby says we can have barn cats but no more house cats .  We like cats.  I have one that sleep on me or hubby every night, she is so kind to share HER bed with us.  but she does bite us if we move to much.   My favorite thing Mama (cat) does is in the winter 2 of our dogs sleep in bed with me and under the sheet and Mama lays half on me and half and the dogs under the sheet too.  She like to be warm, me I do not need any thing more than a sheet all winter the animals keep me warm.  But we still have 7 dogs and I hope to get more....  for my breeding program  &    .  But I still want a 150 lb plus rottie.  

God Bless all, mj
