Does getting a new puppy count????


How about getting TWO new puppies??????? ;)

Do ya'll remember my posting about having to put my Maggie down on Christmas? DH at the time had said he'd get me another heeler mix, and I said no, I didn't want another one.

Well, neighbor down the road had a litter of six puppies. Mom was a black lab and the dad was a blue heeler. Five of the six pups looked like their dad, and there was one pup that was solid black with a white chest and white tips on her toes. Here's the kicker, the Momma dog was named Maggie! :th

So I chose the runt. We picked her out at 4 weeks old and we were able to pick her up this week. Isn't she darling???

I named her Taylor, because she looks just like our dog Earnhardt when he was a pup, and Dale Earnhart Sr.'s youngest daughter is named Taylor...kookie I know, but as you can tell we are crazy Nascar Earnhardt fans...we're nuts, and I know it!

When we picked Taylor up to bring her home they had one girl pup, who was much bigger than Taylor, who hadn't found a home yet. Yes, I know, sucker is stamped all over my head, but I felt bad for her, so I brought her home, too.
Freckles.jpg


DH named her Freckles because of her freckly looking face.

I'm working with them to be good cattle dogs. They walk with me when I take Chase out, and I'm teaching them to herd...I know they are just little yet, but I figure the sooner I start with them the better. Taylor loves to play ball already, and she's such a sweetheart! Freckles tries to be bossy, but she's learning fast that I'm the Alpha around here.

Here's pictures of the goat kids that I assisted in delivering. Not that I did much, but you know how it goes LOL
These are the twins. The little one staring straight at the camera, bold as brass, is the little buckling I am getting.

Here is a shot of the triplets, minutes after they were born.

This is the A-Frame coop DH and I built for my pair of Quail Antwerps. This was all out of recycled materials, except the nails. So you are looking at a chicken house that cost me $2.14, which was the cost of the pound of nails. Didn't use all the nails either. Floor was framed with 4x4's and a piece of recycled lumber was nailed to it for a solid floor. Then we put a 2x4 at each end standing up, and the rest is completely out of pallets. I have pics when it was a work in progress, and I'll share those later. For now, here's the finished project.

I think that's about all the new stuff for now. Working on repairing chicken runs and getting them all covered now. :)
 
Okay, first off, my chocolate lab is named Maggie and she is hopefully :fl having puppies in about a month. Second, those are some of the cutest little faces I have ever seen!!! Taylor definitely has the lab face! Freckles looks more like heeler but is still adorable. I love the goat pics and I am definitely showing DH your $2.14 coop! It is adorable! We just got a bunch of crates and pallets from chad's work to build more coops. Woo hoo!!!
 
QA - I am coming to live with you. And I promise - I won't be lazy. I will work my butt off but you have to let me help with the animals. LOL

Cute Puppies, Goats and that new chicken coop is great.
