BrownSheep- It's been a while

Yep! And he has the color genetics we want :)
 
Well,I am back at school and wouldn't you know it not a one of those no good ewes had it in their heart to lamb for me
It's been a very dry year for us. The most snow we have had is an inch or so that melts off very quickly.

The area of the state where our irrigation water comes from barely has a foot when it generally has 9-10. It's going to be a bad water year so we are already thinking about buy hay now to avoid the price hike.
 
No lambies yet

My schedule this semester is very odd. I only go to two classes ( and their labs). I have an online art course and an internship that is on my own time.

Went out for dinner with my little sister last night. We also went to a movie, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. I really enjoyed it and recommend it.

I 've experimented with making my own fabric softener today...I hope it works or I will have screwed up about 75 % of my jeans :P .

I have also realized going home is sooooo very bad for my waist line. I literally gained ten, very unwanted pounds, during break. Luckily I've already lost 4 of them since returning.
 
Well we have started lambing. 9 alive and well at the moment.

Unfortunately one of our dogs has been diagnosed as being diabetic. She's quite old and if we (my sister and me) had been thinking logically we would have just put her down. My compromise is we will try doing treatments and if it works well for her and it works well for us we will keep it up.
She will have to have insulin every morning and night and monitored eating for the rest of her life. For a lot of people this wouldn't be in issue but for us ( and most of the people who live in our area) it will be a bit of a challenge. We will have to travel with her from now on and keep her primarily indoors to make certain she doesn't eat anything, like the dead stuff she loves.

My sister and I did decide when it comes time to put our other old dog down ( cancer) we will do her at the same time. They are buddies and the diabetic one probably wont know what to do with out her. They are 12 and 14 (lab mixes)so it's not too shocking they have serious issues popping up.
 
Unfortunately we had to put her to sleep. My dad was willin to try giving insulin but she stopped eating all together at the vets.
