Samssimonsays: Blazing Acres journal

Those puppies are gorgeous and all such different colors. Sadie looks a lot like my Border Collie/Queensland, and boy does Sadie look smart. You can just look at her eyes and know that she isn't missing a thing, what a doll. Can't believe that they are 10 weeks old already.

Thank you @sadieml I haven't for a while... But it is breaking my heart and I know his to see me getting more attached by the minute. SHe is a snuggle queen... And Bernard WILL be going to that coworker as he and his dad miss him horribly He will pick him up Saturday Morning so they have all weekend with him to get them to get along. THey said he was the easiest puppy ever the couple hours he was there.

@babsbag She is super smart and if she were all LGD, she'd be a dang watcher. She plays but she puts EVERYONE in their places, including mom and dad, if they get too rough with her or anyone. SHe climbs up on the couch for snuggles and is such a great pup.... It makes me sick thinking about letting her go and I know I will never get over it and regret it the rest of my life.

With transitioning from rabbits into goats and a more... homesteadish way you could call it, We will be changing the name. Milo & Me was started before I met my husband, it was named after a children's book I wrote (about my first french lop Milo) so it is time to say goodbye for now to the name and find a NEW farm name.... My husband could care less LOL. I thought of Blazing Acres Homestead. He is a fire fighter and we only have a small amount of acreage. Any name advice is welcome!

HINT: He's a firefighter, we will be raising nubian, snubian and alpine goats, we will have chickens, ducks, geese hopefully this spring, and a big garden while trying to become a little more self sufficient in the process. Sigh... it is sooo hard!!!!

Oh! And Pupdate!

Yesterday while we were at work, Dolly muct have scaled the baby gate, now... this is not a "normal" baby gate... this is tall enough that I can't step over it... We found one potty accident and 3 toys were removed from the toy basket for the dogs. She was a very good little girl and since the potty spot was half dried, she'd been out for a while lol!

Blazing Acres is a cool name! Especially since your hubby is a firefighter

Well one of the 3 goats at the farm I am on a list for a doeling from emailed that her first doe kidded 2 bucks. She is keeping 2 does for sure if she gets any so unless the next 2 go with all does, we won't be getting our does from her but I do have a back up that we are getting for sure one doeling from to give us some different genetics to start with. And there is always next year to add one from this gal!

Hope you get the kids you want!

Blazing Acres is cool. If you plan on registering goats with ADGA remember that you are limited to 30 letters & spaces. So I would do Blazing Acres for your herd name instead of Blazing Acres Homestead due to the fact that your complete farm name will have to be on the papers, giving you little space for the actual name of the goat.

I didn't know that! THank you! We are still in discussion of what it should be...

The farm and antique show is a big part of our lives (hubby does the steam engines), Firefighting is a second Generation thing for him, The goats, the dogs, chickens and a garden with soap and craft making all being part of our lives....

Any names are welcome if thought of LOL.

if you end up registering through the American Dairy Goat Association- you might be able to call in and they can check if the name you want is available. The person I spoke with was more than willing to check on the name we were going with!
