Distractions

It would seem I’ve sorely neglected my blog yet again.  In my defense I am quite busy these days both caring for my grandson Wesley and my mother who has dementia.  My sister and I have gone through a six month court battle just to be able to care for her.  So please be patient with me as there is still much going on.

We had a beautiful crop of lambs this year, in total 14 of them.  There are 10 ewe lambs and 4 ram lambs.  There will be lambs for sale this year, I can’t possibly keep them all (although there are many I’d love to keep!).  I also have two smooth polled adult rams who will be available to new homes as well.  And of course if I am to keep any of the new ewe lambs some of the adult ewes will also need new homes.  I am working on getting them posted soon!  In the mean time feel free to email me to discuss who is available!

Puppies at 6 weeks old

My nieces Abbie and Sara were out on Sunday to play with the puppies and take some pictures.  Here are a few:

Puppy Pics

The puppies are now 3 weeks old and are beginning to run and play.  I took about 35 pics today and only ended up with 2 that were any where near acceptable for public viewing.  We’re moving them out of the whelping box this weekend and into the kennel.  As soon as we get some nice dry weather they will be able to start going outside.

This is Ruby, a tri colored little girl who just might be staying right here!

Shift Feeding?

Emily and Rabb’s family of 8 puppies are now 2 weeks old.  The other night we heard little barks coming from the whelping box.  They are now starting to pick themselves up and walk around a bit.  They are growing fast and eating a lot.  Emily is eating about 6 cups of kibble each day (when she usually eats 2 cups) along with her vitamins and probiotics.  She also gets the left over raw milk each week.  Their eyes have opened and it won’t be long before they will be able to play outside.  Today I noticed that there was some “shift” feeding going on, one group eating and one group sleeping!

You’ll notice I’ve given up on keeping them on the mat.  They managed to stay on it the first couple of days.  I’d straighten things out, come back later to find it all skewed.
