Puppyutia

SOLD!
This puppy went home on Saturday. We got $250 for her. I would have definitely liked a little more since she was a tri but we'll take what we can get!

SOLD! (AGAIN!)

We got $300 for JJ the second go around. Jessica you sure know how to pick a dog! :) She went home with a family that had three kids.
SOLD?

A guy came over last night to look at the puppies. He is looking for a dog that would make a good hunting dog. He liked Mustache (below) and Little Miss. He went home to talk to his wife about which dog they wanted and is supposed to let us know. I think he'll take Mustache, but I don't know.
Needs a home!
Poor Little Miss. She would have a home if weenie lady hadn't given JJ back. She is so cute and sweet. She is calm and would make a great pet for anybody. Aaron wants her to go home with my parents at Thanksgiving but that is not happening. Somehow my Dad equates owning a dog to letting it sleep in your bed. Hmmm.
Needs a home!
Roley is an active boy. I think he is going to be hard to get rid of. Not many people want a dog that is as energetic as him but he is a good boy. He is very responsive and listens when you tell him to stop doing something. Pretty impressive for a 9 week old puppy!

Snowman ornament I made for ornament Christmas exchange party at our church. We're having a Christmas brunch and ornament exchange with our Bible class group at church on the 6th. I didn't want to spend a bunch of money on ornaments so I'm making the ones we're giving away. Cheapskate I know, but the form for this was 99 cents at Hobby Lobby and it was half off so I go it for 49 cents! I just used a bunch of stuff I had at home to decorate it.

Other news of the day. We have an ant infestation in our downstairs living area. I put out ant bait things a few weeks ago and thought the problem had been solved but I found a new bed against the wall where a hole is and the ants are inside the wall. I'd asked Aaron to go put some ant spray there last night but he forgot and I found them because I was sweeping and disturbed their ant pile so I couldn't just leave them swarming so I got the ant spray and held my breath and made sure I didn't get any one me and then washed my hands just in case. All the ones that swarmed after I swept their nest are dead, but I have no idea if there are more in the wall. If you hear about two ant eaten skeletons discovered in a home in Dallas I guess you'll know who it is.

Glad you're moving some of those pups. They sure are cute. Abriella really likes dogs. I figure we'll get one some day, but not for a while. Good luck on the ant battle. Eeww.

Hey, did Aaron get my email about his pee experiment? I hadn't heard back from him, so didn't know if he had gotten the email. I think it might have been your email address. Anyway, I'm totally interested. I think it would be cool to see what the results were and see if they're right!

ahhh!! Those pups are soooo cute. I want them all. If only we could afford to feed them and know that we had a place for them, I would take every last one. So adorable. I'm so glad you got the others sold! That's awesome. And ants? ugh. I find few things more bothersome. Except maybe Rosie O'Donnell. Good luck getting rid of them.

Animal Happenings

 It looks like the last update I posted on animals was about going to the sale barn and getting cows. As a reminder we got a calf/cow pair and a "weaned" calf: Chloe, Midnight, and Mooey. Chloe and midnight are some kind of black angus mix and midnight is part Holstein. Midnight and Mooey will eventually be our meat cows. We hope to AI Chloe sometime in the near future for another calf. Midnight, her calf pictured below (much littler in the pic than he is now) is a very good looking steer. He could go to the fair if he wanted. This is a picture of him getting out of his fence and coming in the yard. He still gets out from time to time. Having a mama calf keeps both the steers in line though. They are much better about not getting crazy, unlike some other steers we could name from the past, but won't. We ended up having to feed quite a bit of hay this winter as we had snow cover from November to end of March. We got our barn built about January and began collecting more ...

Getaway to Ticks Bend....I Mean Beavers Bend State Park

 Back in April, we decided we needed to do a short family getaway after the semester was over. The last time we'd been on vacation just to vacation (not going to see family in CO) was when we went to San Antonio when Maddy was 3 months old. We found Beavers Bend State Park close to Broken Bow, OK and decided to go there. We booked a cabin in the state park and eagerly awaited the day we could take off for our getaway. We left on Sunday afternoon and stayed through Tuesday afternoon. It was short, but so fun and relaxing. We had no computer and no cell phones while we were up there. We just got to enjoy being around each other and the beautiful scenery.  We built a fire and roasted some marshmallows. Also popped some jiffy pop. Aaron had never done one of those before.  This is a 100 year old cabin they had at the visitor center. I like the mud chinking ( I think that's what it's called). A couple named Comma and Mabel lived in the cabin when the CCC was building t...

Raccoons

We've been plagued with the nasty devils this week. We accidentally left dog food on the porch one night. Fortunately, Aaron saw the raccoon sneaking a snack before he headed to bed. We chased it off but woke up to find one of our chickens had been it's victim. I have been super careful to make sure no food has been left out but the raccoon has been back. I heard a terrible confrontation in the woods on Tuesday night between a raccoon and SOMETHING in the woods. The SOMETHING whimpered as the raccoon hissed and spit. I hope that whatever the SOMETHING was it is ok. It sounded like a dog so I am wondering if it was a coyote vs. raccoon showdown. One of our cats stays out all the time and I thought at first it was her. I was out banging a bucket with a stick and yelling trying to get the raccoon to leave. Turns out the cat was on the deck cool as a cucumber. We had been letting Whiskers and kittens stay outside as well but now we go through the nightly routine of putting them in ...
