Free Food for Goats

Sadie goes nuts over leaves. - she did this over and over as we through the leaves up into the air!!! It was hilarious. Almost human! almost!

We heard on the news that it was supposed to snow, -IN OCTOBER!!!- My first thought was -after the thought It's October!- was all the leaves! My sister, my mom and myself -and Sadie!- spent about an hour and a half raking up all the leaves for my goats. We put them into empty grain bags, trash bags, buckets and the wheel barrel. Hey if you've got goats and you've got leaves I would definitely suggest raking up all the leaves before they become no good. My goats love the leaves as much as the hay! Sadie LOVES leaves

Sadie tries to help^

Taking a brake!

Let's get raking !

Sewing

So, I descovered about a year ago that I LOVE to sew... I was looking throught this blog and realized I've never shared what I've sewn with you... I like no sewing things on here. So Now I will start sharing! Most of the sewing i like to do Is turning old clothing into new clothing, You'll probably see that though! I made this for my sister out of one of my old skirts, It was a really ugly skirt!

Breeding

My three girls are bred. Pipi's due date is March 5th, Tilly is March 10th, and Anica is March 15th. that'll be a busy bunch of days!!! They are all bred to Endurance, a very handsome-and stinky- buck. OH, If Pipi kids (gives birth) early they could possibly be born on a leap year.
Here's my plan: I'll keep one of Pipi's Does (that is if she has any!) Pipi has a good udder, even at her young age. If I'm able to get a doe from Larissa I'll probably sell Anica. It would be hard to give up Anica...
This is where I got my goats , I may have given the link before, check it out.

Air Planes

This is us making them, what a mess.

Here's Mine, ^

My little sister's^,

My mom's , she was determined to use the ice cream cone! ^ ,

And my brother's ^

Sadie is half a year old!

Yes, this is the same puppy that came in to our family just this spring.
She is so beautiful, Yet... not all that well behaved! I'm working on agility and obedience training her. She needs it, she needs a job. Sadie is much too hyper to just be sitting around doing nothing.
Sadie is taller than Grasshopper, and about 50 pounds. She's huge... not a lap puppy any more!
I know, I know, I'm a little obsessed with pet birthdays! I can't help it, it's too fun! I'm only doing the half a year because it's her first half a year. I don't usually celebrate half birthdays for pets or for people!!!

When we got her:
Now:

Lila Mae's Birthday

Lila Mae is two years old. It doesn't seem possible. She's still so tiny. I think she will always be small. she is full grown.

Poor Lila actually has pneumonia on her birthday. She gets it every year, so did her mother, Thomasina. I feel bad that she got it on her birthday but I don't think she -being a cat- even knows about the birthday, so I'll cellibrate when she's better.

Happy Birthday Lila!

Miniature Agility Course

Here's a craft for your critter! Make this mini agility course for your mini friends. if you don't have a pet - bird, lizard, girble, etc - you can still make it for a stuffed animal. I think the pictures can give you a good enough idea of how to make them - I'm not in a tutorial mood - I could atleast tell you the matirials I used. i would also suggest using a hot glue gun. if you use different glue you'll be sitting there for a long time waiting for it to dry while you hold it in place.
Don't leave these in the cages with your little critters, only let them have them when you are there to supervise them. DOG WALK: 12 regular, 2 purple, and 1 green popsicle sticks and one toilet paper tube.

TRIANGLE: 2 orange, 2 yellow, and 5 regular popsicle sticks (one with the ends cut off)

TEETER: 3 red, 9 regular, and 2 one-inch popsicle sticks

JUMP: 2 blue and 5 regular popsicle sticksA-FRAME: 2 purple and 13 regular popsicle sticks WEAVE POLES: 5 tooth pics, 2 yellow popsicle sticks (none of my critters could fit in this, It's kind of small. If you are going to let your critter play with it, cut the sharp tips off.)

TUNNEL: A clean can with both ends open (either open it with a dull edge can opener or sand the edges you don't want you or your little critter to get cut on the sharp mettal).

HOOP: 2 regular and 1 yellow popsicle sticks, 2 straws (I cut a couple inches off of the bottom of mine) a foot of yarn, and a yogurt lid with the center cut out.
