Dooley- Living like a pioneer!

I really do not miss cattle at all. I have had them semi trample me. We have fixed elecltric fence in the rain. I have had manure in my mouth. On my hand. In my hair. On my ear. Thats why chickens are my favorite farm animals

Hehe, chickens are awesome! Just as long as you don't walk underneath the perch at night...

Ducks are awesome as long as you dont stand behind them after they've ate! Its bad.....trust me

OOOSH...! I've had broilers do the same thing to me! When I pick them up, I always turn the butt side AWAY from me!

Perhaps it's a self-defense thing.

Indeed it is! Once you get used to the smell...

I worked in a spinal cord rehab hospital. Animal poop is easier to deal with than C-Diff ANY day.

Whoo, past few days have been interesting!

Puppy has a bad habit of running too close to the stock. We went to a herding clinic on Sunday to learn how to stop that. I learned a lot. So, yesterday, when the goats escaped, I knew exactly what to do to keep him at a suitable distance. He did beautifully! He's really shaping up to be a dynamite herding dog! So proud of him, and myself! And my goaties, for putting up with him.

We had a brief warm snap, and most of the snow melted away, enough so that I could take Puppy for a long walk. I took a break to climb up an apple tree, and the next thing I know, he was following me up! Yes, dogs can climb trees!

So far, this week has been , if slightly uneventful. However, just got the seed catalogs, so garden planning begins!

I love watching herding dogs work!

My dad had a hound that could climb trees.. her name was Popsicle lol

Now that I have 3 goats, I should look into teaching the dog to herd them. Unfortunately Blossom loves to head butt the dog and said dog is now afraid. I have gotta fix that. :/
