What did you do today?

[Nanno]

Whew! I'm so glad your dog is ok. What a scary thing!

I hope Banjo has a nice change of attitude after his "operation." I'd love to see you cross your legs and run at the same time!

I bought some more electric fence and I spent most of today mowing, chainsawing, and clearing a path through the thickets for my new goat set-up. I love being able to move pens around to where the brush needs thinning, and I know the goats love it too! I got one half set up, and tomorrow I'm removing the pen I have now and adding it to the new one. There will be a boys' half and a girls' half. Lilly came in heat last week and I think Finn was trying to breed her. (Hopefully he didn't succeed!) Don't want any "oopses"! Hopefully no one is dumb enough (Sputnik, I'm looking at you!) to try to leap through the fence and get back to mama. Sputnik is my mama's boy.

I think Petunia will be glad of the break, and I need to start letting her udder fill up. Those greedy little kids haven't let it get full since she first freshened and I don't want her to be sore for State Fair in two weeks. I'm also curious to see what her udder looks like when it's full. It's mostly even now, and I'm pretty sure the difference will be almost unnoticeable when it's allowed to fill up.

Our new girls, Jezebel and Delilah, are starting to warm up to us a little. They're timid little things, but they baa-aa at us every time we peek our heads out the door. I've been cutting fresh oak branches for them and they're devouring them like candy.
