Honey we all have days where we need to take the plunge.

 

[HankTheTank]

It's been an interesting day...started off super early after a night of literally no sleep whatsoever (ehh, sleep is overrated anyway..) and then just felt WEIRD all day. Not fever/stay in bed sick, just really dizzy all day and very VERY tired. Had the goats out all day, so they've got big fat hay bellies right now from munching on yummy weeds all day Hank is doing well with his halter, he barely minds me putting it on anymore. Gave Bonnie a bath, she was very well behaved as always. Ownedby3alpacas and I took the doves outside in a wire dog crate so they could have a little sunshine and grass, they loved it! Any of you ever seen a dove sunbathe? They lift their wings straight up over their heads, and ruffle up their feathers, or just sort of flop on the ground with their wings stretched...It's very cute! I noticed Avery had very pretty eyes. They're a sort of deep red ring around a black dot. Xander has brown eyes....I wonder if there are blue eyed doves? A lot of family was at our Dads house for Mothers Day, and there was food and stuff. I didn't hang around long because I wasn't feeling to great, so I skipped out pretty fast. Don't like being around that many people anyway, too crowded, the house was too hot. Not fun. So, I went back to our Moms (Our parents are next door to each other, btw, so we can just walk across the lawn to go to the others house) and slept for a while, until I got a call from my Dad saying that my aunt and my cousin and her baby wanted to see the goats. So I stumbled BACK outside, and let the goats out again, and listened to my cousin attempt to make goat noises. I already had a headache, thats really NOT what I wanted to hear. It bothers me when people do that anyway. I mean really, when you see a dog you don't say "woof" to it, do you? The goats didn't pay much attention to anyone, they were tired and wanted to go back home. Not exactly their moment of glory, and we probably didn't leave a good impression (me tired and grumpy, and the goats trying to get away from everyone and go home) Finally everyone left, and I went back inside, couldn't fall asleep. Watched a movie. Fell asleep. I was supposed to go out to dinner with family for Mothers Day, but I still felt like death, so I was excused from the festivities, no complaints from me. Stayed home, intending to sleep, jumped in the pond instead. Felt AMAZING. And cold. And a little pond scummy. And now I'm sitting at my computer with tea and pretzels, talking to you people. And watching Dr. Who. At the same time. Because that's just how awesome of a multitasker I am I feel a little loopy from the medicine my mom gave me. And the caffeine I've had today....I'm like hypersensitive to caffeine...doesn't always have good effects
And I'm tired, and I have school in the morning Which I want to go to, but don't want to wake up for :/

And I'm SUPPOSED to be getting a phone call, but he probably forgot. Again.


Anyway, (that was quite the ramble, eh?) good night everybody

I just listed my Elf in the Buy/Sell/Trade section on here.....I feel rotten about it, too :/

 

[HankTheTank]

Writer's Block on my Romeo and Juliet essay...and it's due in 15 minutes!! I either turn it in without a conclusion, or write really fast and hand in a terrible essay :/

Elf is going here- http://www.cedarwoodfarms.webs.com/

They were actually LOOKING for an more aggressive doe! I'm happy they are taking her, he sounded nice on the phone and I like their farm from the looks of the site. She should be happy

Looks like a nice place. Hopefully you can keep up with her too. Glad she is finding a good new home.

My Elf is leaving tommorow

I know if I wated any longer I would have ended up keeping her....it's like a Band-Aid. You've got to rip it off fast otherwise you just leave it there cause it hurts too much to take off slow. So, my Band-Aid goatie is going to a new farm tommorow, where she'll have a ND doe, ND wether, and a mini Lamancha to keep her company, plus a very handsome little ND buck named Oreo that I'm sure she'll get to be quite well aquainted with. *sigh*.....I miss her already. I'd better not cry while I'm dropping her off or I will feel like a world-class idiot


Anyway, you know how I don't like pigs? I just found some pigs I DO like They bought some piglets at work, as the breeding on their own sow didn't take. I know where these pigs are gonna end up (sausages!), but they are very cute! My favorites are number 475, who I named Sinatra (or Frankie) and a tiny little girl who I didn't think of a name for yet. I like these, because I know I'll only see them while they're young and well behaved, but pretty soon after they reach the little monsters stage of their lives, they'll all be whisked away and come back wrapped in brown paper packaging! That sounds pretty horrible of me to say, but I'm really not a fan of pigs. Cute lil buggers though

Guess who I still have? Thats right, my Elf! She was supposed to leave yesterday, but he never called me back like he said he would. Also, I was having a hard time finding anyone to drive me, and I couldn't find the place anyway. So: If he contacts me ever again, and still wants her, either he comes and gets her, or he gets another goat. I am not going to drive an hour and a half away for a goat he wants. He's buying her, he can pick her up. If not, and I highly doubt I'll ever hear from him again, she either stays, or I talk to one of the other two people who were interested. So I'm keeping my Devil Child, and Hank keeps his bestest friend in the whole wide world. She and Bon will just have to work it out.....Bonnie's actually been getting better with self defense, so we'll just have to see how it goes from here.

I had to have a long talk with Bonnie about the Buddy System..she doesn't always like to stay with everybody else, and Colin can't keep an eye on everybody at once! I like to have them in pairs, it just keeps it easier for me to locate them. How shall I remedy this, you may ask? Perhaps a little wether that Bonnie can be best buddies with

I'm still thinking about it, actually. I think she'd like a little friend, and since they'd all be paired off there might be a little less un-friendliness (is that a word??). In any case, as long as it doesn't have a Bonnie-like personality, it would defend itself just fine, and Elf would be ok with it (Thats what she did with Hank, I think she just doesn't like Bonnie cause she's scared of her).

I tried to get Hank to come onto the dock with me, but I think he's scared of water...or the rowboat, actually I can't really tell! Elf was a little more adventerous, but still wouldn't step onto it. Bonnie didn't even try..Oddly enough, I can't get Colin near the water either

Say hello to Dalek! (Any Dr. Who fans out there should understand it )

Not the best picture, but he moves around a lot and it was taken with a cell phone. He's so cute!!! He is a 2 month old lionhead. Literally THE FUZZIEST thing I've ever met
