Thank you Lord for the rain we received yesterday, last night and today! We sure needed it! Need lots more but am thankful for what we did get.
Picked some peas and butterbeans today...put them in the fridge and will shell them tomorrow...too darn tired tonight. Got the goats wormed, Ben (our Labrador) bathed and groomed, and finished up some custom embroidered burp cloths for a wonderful family friend that just had their first baby!
All the chicks are doing great...the little Buff Orpington with the wound is doing much better and should make a full recovery.
Deperately need to make a trip to Jeffers (pet supply) next weekend and purchase at least one rabbit cage, hoof clippers and a new toy for Ben!
Oh, and we found a great home for our 1 1/2 yr. old Boston Terrier (Brody)...I sure hated to see the little guy go (had guilty second thoughts there for a while...esp. since he was a Christmas surprise from my wonderful husband), but Brody just did NOT fit in with our household...Our Lab (Ben) and Poodle (Ginger) are older and very laid back and Brody consistently jumped/knawed/nipped/licked on them no matter how much they growled/snipped at him...I was so worried one of them would "snap" one day and eat him up. AND fast...the little guy was like a bullet...very sweet and smart just HYPER. No amount of training we did worked when he was around the other critters...if you had him by himself, he was very attentive. Basically, there was NO harmony in the house, so something had to be done...he now has a nice home with an older couple and is getting all the individual attention and love he can stand. Good luck with your new life little Bro-Man...we'll be keeping in touch!
So, we have come to the conclusion that although Boston Terriers are cute and little , they are just not the breed for us. I hate to give an animal away...always worry that someone won't take care of them like I do but sometimes you have to make tough decisions that make situations better for all in the long run. Ben and Ginger are happy tonight...harmony has been restored!
