Collars and Colors

The Sleeping Red Collar Girl
A Goat Named Paisley
The Newest Toy
Everyone Into the Pool!!!


Well today was one of those busy days. Early morning feeding went well. The day looked overcast, but no rain at that time. The pups were still asleep when I got there around 6:30 a.m. After I fed them, Kayla nursed them and I then I opened the pen in the ell, and low and behold, they ran out into the run and did pee and poop out in the run!!! Yeah!!!
I went back home and had breakfast with the grandchildren. We started out at the goat farm. The pups love the goats milk and the grandchildren love going to the farm. Today we saw the goats being milked, watched them line up and go up the ramp, each taking their turn in line. I guess years of repetition makes it seem as if they know their place in line and seem to teach the younger goats. While we were standing there one of the older female goats, Paisley, "cut the cheese", as my older granddaughter announced! We laughed and laughed! The picture of the goat is Paisley.
After that we went up to Marion's and fed the pups, then we put the collars on. One of the boys has a "Harley Davidson" collar. We had picked out a bunch of colors and the granddaughters helped decide which pup got which collar. It went smoothly for us, but you would have thought we put electric shock collars on them. They screamed and raced around, and then scratched and wriggled until they finally calmed down. Then they went to sleep, so I'll be interested in seeing if the collars lasted until tonight.
This afternoon it rained and rained, so the pups had to play indoors, but they had access to the outside run, so maybe when it stopped raining, they poked themselves outside, I'll have to ask Marion.
We have Alice to thank for the puppy in the pool and the puppy with "new toy" pictures (the goat picture is mine) and my granddaughter took the puppy with the red collar picture--the village at work folks!
Tomorrow we are going to be at a all day party so I'll do the early morning feeding and the late night feeding. We think that some friends will stop by to see the pups tomorrow, and we know some are coming Sunday, so it will be a busy weekend.
Probably talk to you Sunday night.
