Here's my blockade. It's working so far
My dog was out with me and I told her to 'give the sheepy kisses'...she had no idea what I was talking about so I told her 'give the kitty kisses!' and she went to town lol -- best part is my ewe let Maggie lick her, too

I got a laptop yesterday It is my graduation present, even though it's two months late lol. But I'm also registered for college and I just need to sign up for classes. I will probably just do two classes since that's all I can afford with my savings account haha...my parents are making me pay for everything. And I owe them $60/month for car insurance (since January), plus $20/week for rent (since my birthday)...and my mom is thinking about charging me rent for my sheep 
So as soon as I get a job pretty much all of that money will be going to my parents and to pay for college...and to pay for my sheep until I sell lambs next year.
yeah for being an adult.....

Everything looks so different! My neighbor sold his farm back in June, and he's currently paying rent until mid August when he moves out and the new owners move in. But the new owners have been up here pretty much everyday and they took out all the shrubs & fencing near the house and they are back near the greenhouses taking out the shrubs/trees and fencing back there, too. Everything looks so much more open...and less green too. I am curious to see what they do to the barn lol. It was originally built for cattle because before my sheep neighbor moved in, it belonged to a cattle dealer and he had the whole place built up for cattle, so maybe since the new owners also have cattle they won't do much.
Here's a picture from a couple weeks ago. When they're done bulldozing I will get an after picture so you guys can see how different everything looks.

My blockade is still working (knock on wood)
So all of the kittens except for Claire and Flufnstuf have found homes. My mom said we are definitely keeping Claire and we might keep Flufnstuf if our diabetic cat, Tigger, comes back positive for FIP. We had a kitten that we had to put down back in November because he developed wet FIP and the vet said that because of Tigger's weakened immune system, the virus he was previously able to fight off finally took hold. He has a fever that isn't responding to ANY antibiotic and he is losing a lot of weight so that's what the vet thinks may be the issue, except the dry form. So Tigger went in for a blood test yesterday so we should be hearing the results soon. If he comes back positive we are putting him down ASAP but if he comes back negative, I'm not sure what we'll do. Momma kitty (the biological mother to the kittens we gave away/foster mother to Claire and flufnstuf) got spayed today so tomorrow she's going outside.
I am loving my new laptop I still need to transfer my 8,000+ photos from our desktop to my laptop but I need to get all the files organized. My pictures from this year are all nicely organized, but the photos from 2009-2011 are kind of all over the place in random folders. So it's a time consuming/boring project I don't really feel like doing Plus I have my documents and PDF files I've saved from off the internet...of course I need to go through those and see if they are worth moving to my laptop. (For example stuff for school can all be deleted since I don't need it anymore.) I think I might do it tomorrow just to get it done and over with, since I have some more sheep photos I want to put on the computer so I can upload them to share
My cousin (the one who spent two nights at my house last week) got in a car accident last night She was entering a parking lot and there was somebody coming out the entrance and she totaled her car. Thankfully she is alright albeit a little shook up.
Sooo I think that's all my updates for now

Today I did start organizing my photos and deleting some school stuff and other files I don't want taking up space on my laptop. I didn't get through it all (I only worked on it for like an hour) and I plan on doing more tomorrow. I didn't realize I had soo many photos! Most of them though are really pixely and yucky looking because of the camera I was using so I kinda just wanna keep them on our family's desktop. Then I remember that most of them are my sheep pictures so I gotta have them
Well my mom told me tonight that my uncle is definitely coming up to help put up our fence Problem is, my mom only wants to fence in 2 acres 
I think she's doing it so I can't get anymore sheep...she says she wants to 'save' it because she 'might' want to use it for something (we've had 2 acres for 10 yrs and she hasn't done anything, heck my family barely goes outside)... but anyway. My dad and I were talking about fencing in 3 of our 4 acres and my mom comes in and says we're only fencing in 2. ughh. soo that puts a damper on my plans. I really want Katahdins so I may have to settle on just a flock of 5 of those ewes plus then 5 of my wooled ewes. And then I will just drylot the 2 rams I'd need.
So yeah.
Earlier today my neighbor's pitbull ran into our yard...I don't know if she was chasing a cat or running over to see the sheep, but she was headed towards my sheep, but as soon as I got outside, she was on her way back home so I guess my neighbor called her over. BOY did that give me a heart attack!
And when I went out to feed tonight, Paulie was in Billy's pen. I have no idea how he got in there...I guess he jumped over the water bucket. But my biggest question is WHY would he want to go in there? He may have gotten spooked and jumped over there as a last resort effort, but I dunno. But yeah I went out there and Billy was chasing him all over the pen. So I put out hay for Billy and I lead Paulie back into the ewe pen and got out of Billy's pen as quick as I could. Thankfully he was too occupied eating to be worried about me. My boy sheep cause me such trouble...if sheep could reproduce asexually I sure as heck wouldn't have any rams or wethers by choice
