- A Give-away....
I am hosting a give-away (tongue in cheek). The prize: lots and lots of rain clouds, some thunder, and a large portion of lightening. Just kidding... however, I would love to share if you need any of the above!! With the exception of the beautiful...

What are the Dwarf Nigerians so interested in? Perhaps it is the fact that there are some visitors in their yard....some really BIG visitors! If you have read this blog for a while you may remember me talking about goats and parasites. Basically,...

Are These Goats Spoiled
Yesterday was a rainy day on the farm.
Do you know what spoiled goats get when it rains??
Room Service!
Fainting goats hate the rain.
They flat refuse to come outside...
even
to
eat!
Those chubby Dwarf Nigerians have not figured this tactic out, however.
They are like the postal service...
No rain, or sleet, or hail
will keep them
from
their
food!
Oakley and Maddie could care less about rain.
They come along on afternoon chores...
ready for any adventure.
Even if it is just teasing the "Littles."
Maddie kept sticking her nose through the fence,
butting Red and Ollie,
then jumping back and barking at them.
Who knows what this game is....
but Maddie sure enjoyed it.
The Littles are not the least bit afraid of the dogs,
and enjoy an occasional game of chase.
PS: Oakley sure is a good boy! He has made the transition into the family quite smoothly. He is loving and full of fun. His only bad habit is taking off through the woods after rabbits. Luckily he never stays away for long. We are extremely lucky to have found such a good boy.
