Some Days..............

You know how some days it's just not worth getting out of bed? It started with one of the dogs waking me at a little before 5:30 to go out.

A little later I head out to do chores and find out that, for some obscure dog reason, the dog had decided to dig up two roses and two elderberries that I had planted this spring.

Why now? One elderberry was completely gone and the other one, well, we'll see if it makes it. The roses I think will be fine, they're pretty tough.

Yesterday my buck disappeared. He's been in this 40 acre pasture for a year and a half and suddenly, yesterday, he decides to jump the fence take off. He shares a pasture fence with the girls, why didn't he go in there?

We looked and looked and looked for him. I suppose it's a good way to get to know the neighbors? Anyway, we didn't have any luck. Then, this morning as my husband was leaving for work, a guy a couple miles down the road comes up and says he found our goat in with his cows this morning. Great! We run out to unload the horse trailer as it and the pickup are full of wood from this weekend that we hadn't unloaded yet. While doing this, the 14 year old dog decides to mess in the house. I'm really beginning to feel like it's a Monday! Anyway, I get that taken care of and head off to pick up the goat.


This is a buck in rut. Those of you who have goats know what I'm talking about. Those of you who don't, well.........use your imagination! This a very sweet animal that looks and smells absolutely disgusting at this time of year. In spite of that, the neighbor had put the goat up in a pen by the house. They both commented on how sweet he is. I'm fairly impressed that they got close enough to notice!


So, now the goat is home and in lock up temporarily,  I smell like a buck, dog #3 has just thrown up on the rug and it's barely 9:00. It can only go up from here, yes?

Just because I want to include something pretty! :)
