Best Friends

Xcel seems to prefer the company of his guardian, June-bug, over that of his 7 month old sons.

June-bug at 7 months

June update

June-bug is growing!   She is 4.5 months old now.  She LOVES the water, and plays in the creek all the time.  Right now, she is in the barn, helping Chuck built a water trailer.

Meet June (June-Bug)

Thinking - probably about how to escape her pen.

Looking innocent - would you ever think somthing that cute
might escape her pen?

Meeting her new "boss".
We lost Beth after 11.5 years of service last
weekend.  A very sad day.  Beth's "pet name"
has always been Bethie-June, so little June
is named for her.  Little June will make the
loss of Chuck's favorite a little easier to bear.

Dinnertime at the farm

The BFL ewes, and note Penn and Buddy in the background, also having dinner.

Timmy's motto:  Never stand when you can sit; never sit when you can lie down.

Groundhog Day

Here are Tim and Miss Bethy, who are guarding the lambs we've kept back to feed out for the farm market.

These are Maybelline's new Satin Angora kits.  She is red, bred to Gibraltar, a tort, so they will be reds and torts.  May-Bell was feeding them while I was working in the rabbitry.  They are full of milk and sleepy and content in the picture.  May had them yesterday.  Still waiting and hoping for kits from Voodoo.

Well, the sun came out this morning briefly.  We had blue sky and an angry looking thick bank of clouds to the west - reminding me of the eye of a hurricane.  I suppose stupid ol' Buckeye Chuck saw his shadow....
Its very windy here now, and we got lots of rain last night, but no snow or ice.  We may get a dusting of snow today.  I'm just glad for the rain, which melted much of the snow and ice we already have here. 

He's grown a bit

Buddy

This is Buddy, who guards the BFL ewe flock. He and Tim are littermates.

Penn

His legs keep getting longer! Check out the ears - he's defective. LOL
What a good, smart boy he is!

Tim

Got a biscuit, Boss?

Farm Babies

Penn at 13 weeks. Smile, Penn!

Monkey.....you can't see me, I'm death in the tall grass.
Fred. (I need a home! - if interested, please email my humans)

Penn & "The Boss"

He's getting BIGGER! (Penn, not Chuck) :^)

p.s. Weighed 24# at the vet's on Monday night. He walked on a leash, went inside a building, and sat on Dr John's feet. That means he likes you.

p.p.s. Yes, now I am talking about Chuck...... hehe

Penn the wonder puppy

10 weeks, 18#.

Can I try on your hat, Grampa?

Penn Progress

Penn did not cry at all last night. He was surrounded by his new friends, the BFL lambs.
