Well things have been up and down here.
We lost a goat. The smallest Angora. He was fine friday night when I put them to bed, then I found him dead saturday morning. No symptoms except he had a really full stomach.
We lost a hen, my incredibly stupid crested polish. Found her drown in a very shallow water trough.
Our new dog is doing wonderfully. Took her on a very long quad riding, quail hunting trip in which she ran half the time. Didn't make her tired at all LOL
The other Angora goat has just about bought himself a one way ticket to freezer camp. He keeps squeezing through the TINY TINY chicken door. Seriously, this door is SO SMALL and he gets through and eats all the chicken food. No matter what I do, he gets in and I've just about had it. He also really doesn't like me. He LOVES everyone else but since I'm always the one catching him doing bad things, he has started to rear up at me and run away when I try to catch him. Oh and he ALSO got to my brussel sprout plants AGAIN and completely destroyed them this time.
We had a wonderful thanksgiving. I processed an extra drake that we had and roasted him. It turned out delicious! My dad brought fresh Dungeness crab for me and Drew made a mean deep fried turkey. We had a great time riding the quad and what not.
We went on a day trip saturday and I couldn't find my silkie roo when we got back that night. He was gone all day sunday, then strolled out of the hen house monday morning when I opened the door. I found him chilling with the goats today
This is the photo I snapped. He was face to face with one of the ND does but the dogs kind of scattered them.
My last remaining laying age hen finally recovered from the traumatizing massacre and started laying again. She laid 3 eggs in 4 days!
We shall see 
He is just such a beast!
