Where did the time go??</p><p style="text-align: center;">I feel like I didn't accomplish much around the homestead other than maintenance this year, but here are some highlights since I last posted:</p><p style="text-align: center;">-I worked on a haying crew a few times over the summer! If you've never seen this, the tractor pulls a baler, and then behind that, a hay wagon. I stood on the wagon and helped stack the bales as the baler shot them out. As you might expect, it's very hot, physically demanding work, and I definitely want to get in better shape if I do more next summer. 😝 </p><p style="text-align: center;">-I got refrigeration!! After over four years of using bags of ice in coolers, I finally got a propane fridge hooked up. I ended up selling the one that had come with the dome because it was going to be more complicated to hook up. I bought a different used one, and it's now installed and running great. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0GnEtH0n3sEDgpYzAOfFY1041540w39al01JxeC7Xb6FI9YGeNLwBvy_0EPF4J-Pm_0WipcHLZ78Qg6yY8fBpUvlZkqtGI3eemsqP0N-u2gM3u6KjNJPvzai4ajHF4tIt_-ZESqFkYpGSvxLNLUrGKYqDNXftwke5NCjqWQn6vvaptKwge3plOFy-YsI/s4080/PXL_20231031_200607754.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4080" data-original-width="3072" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0GnEtH0n3sEDgpYzAOfFY1041540w39al01JxeC7Xb6FI9YGeNLwBvy_0EPF4J-Pm_0WipcHLZ78Qg6yY8fBpUvlZkqtGI3eemsqP0N-u2gM3u6KjNJPvzai4ajHF4tIt_-ZESqFkYpGSvxLNLUrGKYqDNXftwke5NCjqWQn6vvaptKwge3plOFy-YsI/w482-h640/PXL_20231031_200607754.jpg" width="482" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;">-I purchased siding for the cottage, and Dad and I started installing it. I feel like my poor cottage has been sorely neglected because I'm always working on the Franken-barn, so I'm excited to be making some progress on actually finishing the exterior. I had originally put board and batten siding up on a couple exterior walls, but later decided I wasn't crazy about how that looked. I finally bit the bullet and got nice, simple wooden siding. I also have cedar shingles for the gable ends. I think it's going to look really nice! I'll be painting the siding and staining the shingles, just haven't fully decided on colors yet. Note that the snow pictured below all melted later!! 😂</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb5IOY7NO5sz2DgRH1jzz7xuaoq3po66sCvxdBw-cOsjoewluHBNfj4dzL-i70eeFd_7Q2KtfglL84MX0DmbH4Y44cVgh0KiJ79Vg6CpiMSFOc9_LmP2n4hNkNyb2KyK4GLZtdDdSfVcJNoL57nThVNX7KqrBMY1KYJh7KBFbvNcE0H2LPSaJEz1NuVlc/s3054/IMG_20231122_073349_127.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3054" data-original-width="3054" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb5IOY7NO5sz2DgRH1jzz7xuaoq3po66sCvxdBw-cOsjoewluHBNfj4dzL-i70eeFd_7Q2KtfglL84MX0DmbH4Y44cVgh0KiJ79Vg6CpiMSFOc9_LmP2n4hNkNyb2KyK4GLZtdDdSfVcJNoL57nThVNX7KqrBMY1KYJh7KBFbvNcE0H2LPSaJEz1NuVlc/w640-h640/IMG_20231122_073349_127.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">-I got my goats bred! I borrowed my friend's Nigerian Dwarf buck, Lightning, and he visited for about 3 weeks, hopefully getting the job done with all 5 girls. I'm still watching them to make sure no one goes back into heat, which would be a sign that they didn't "settle," and they'd need to visit the buck again. So far it's looking very promising for Lilah and Marigold. I'm keeping an eye on Starflower and Oakley now, and Daisy has a little longer before I need to start watching her. So definitely watch for updates in late April and early May... I should hopefully have a bunch of bouncing little goat kids then! If anyone is looking to buy, there could be some very good little dairy mutts among the kids. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGIBgcCX_c2vr4if3FJfyEHa2h2BVJy-uVM4JUrT8Cr6E3pva2zjcfoN0LToO2gITqmQa0WW8evhupL2bsIECoZyGrwmn-l967TMoTqyDxV3Q8P8Xi3aoWIMrBGonDOLGy1xbh0DIAAUokqquaigRRMfsW-n9Y8XimQnbsJ2OflR60YpzztBbfddY1UOk/s4080/PXL_20231127_203351662.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4080" data-original-width="3072" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGIBgcCX_c2vr4if3FJfyEHa2h2BVJy-uVM4JUrT8Cr6E3pva2zjcfoN0LToO2gITqmQa0WW8evhupL2bsIECoZyGrwmn-l967TMoTqyDxV3Q8P8Xi3aoWIMrBGonDOLGy1xbh0DIAAUokqquaigRRMfsW-n9Y8XimQnbsJ2OflR60YpzztBbfddY1UOk/w482-h640/PXL_20231127_203351662.jpg" width="482" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I feel like that's not much news, but I think those are the primary homestead highlights. Between work and regular chores, I often feel like I have very little time to get anything done on the homestead, but I could also definitely have a little better time management. 😝 </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I've got some big goals for 2024 and beyond. My prayer requests regarding the homestead are as follows: wisdom about the location and timing of future building projects (possibly a "real" house and barn), wise use of funds (I'm looking at a tractor), improving my stewardship of existing structures and animals, safety as I work (and safety for my Dad when he helps me!!), good health for my animals, clarity about whether I should be researching ways to make the homestead profitable so I can eventually leave my retail job... the list could certainly go on.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I know there are friends and family who regularly pray for me, and I appreciate you so much! ❤️ I definitely need God's blessing and continued help every single day, and I'm so grateful to Him for the help He's given me these past 4+ years. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">In closing, here are a few pictures from this afternoon. I took Thane and Hazel for a walk, and all three cats tagged along too. 😂 Can you spot Bartholomew, Purrcy and Clawdia in the picture below?

They're an adorable couple, and it was very clear that God worked to bring them together. 💖 </p><p style="text-align: center;">I personally don't have pictures of them to share, but when they get them back from the photographer, I can ask if they would like me to post a few on my Facebook page for those who know my brother.</p><p style="text-align: center;">So instead, here are some pictures of a snapping turtle who was crossing my property today, presumably on her way to lay eggs. She came by at almost the same time last year too - I can tell she's the same one because the top of her shell has old damage. Her shell is probably 8-10 inches across and 12-14" long. I've been told they can live up to 50 years.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSb08eggcg5eKkh1qRoY3P5RKAmcvtY44y5Imwq_3r7V0Zy9YT0cmqQDXeEyuRrhza2PD-Ts89sEMpIYn-5ghXFBwX7SUbrFQ2glZfzlrUhkpBknZk1PBLkHL5UXS9sG6NhgUwqz2hAi2TbbSNKApTvh7WkQr_iSb9iWQTJAhfPY6GJWZPiiczRiB8/s4491/DSC_1080%20(2).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Lots of cleanup... lots of fence building... lots of walking the goats daily because their fence isn't finished... 😂</p><p style="text-align: center;">One thing, besides the goat fence, that I really need to work on is my well. My current pitcher pump seems particularly inefficient, and it takes me around an hour to pump enough water for all the animals. I have a new type of pump that should be faster... I just need to figure out how to install it. If that one isn't significantly more efficient, I may have to investigate something battery or solar powered. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Here are some pictures from the past few days.</p><p style="text-align: center;">This is an onion that sprouted in the house because I forgot about it.

So I've got 2 Icelandic chicks that Buffy hatched. And 21 Dominique chicks that Speedy and Snow White adopted. But in the other half of the coop, one of my girls has been faithfully staying broody for WEEKS, even though I kept taking away the eggs everyone was laying in her nesting box. I thought about giving her eggs to hatch, but she had parked herself in the most popular box, and broodies don't like to change boxes. I knew chances of her hatching something successfully in a popular nesting box were very low - plus that would mean she'd be sitting another 21 days, which is pretty hard on the bird. So yesterday afternoon I stopped in at the local feed store to see what they had for chicks. I had thought to maybe grab just a couple....but they were on sale for 50 cents apiece...so I ended up with 10. 😂 They're an assortment of breeds, so it'll be really fun to see how they mature. I know I've got a few Buckeyes, a couple Cuckoo Marans, I think a couple Golden Laced Wyandottes. And then I think there was one more breed, but I can't remember what. 😂😂😂 Anyway, after a little finagling, they are bonded now, and Mama is SO proud and protective of her clutch of chicks. ❤️</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr6oK-tR7Dd429tbZSMEO1w1ZFOXW4yaaOpi_q3q1bTp44JqsQbuJ9QdIsfHGtkyDFiQzkQ4uMfBJs0t9m9yjQ2dviZJiz12VuIWiW4nlpRlXwf-D6nsy6-UNyq_EGlw8VBJUVunPsm-gtqryGo3ikJRWXX-tMKpMcpJnHCT-GZBNWHro2sEnR2WGm/s4032/PXL_20230612_222739154.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr6oK-tR7Dd429tbZSMEO1w1ZFOXW4yaaOpi_q3q1bTp44JqsQbuJ9QdIsfHGtkyDFiQzkQ4uMfBJs0t9m9yjQ2dviZJiz12VuIWiW4nlpRlXwf-D6nsy6-UNyq_EGlw8VBJUVunPsm-gtqryGo3ikJRWXX-tMKpMcpJnHCT-GZBNWHro2sEnR2WGm/w480-h640/PXL_20230612_222739154.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc7PP8Z0_s85_IcCDwAXmCWqtvzt6vSrvNgGgCp249O00q-kKmblPjJxYP23QIvIKVo0oSkMFuXFMKLQTssO-FHmSZDS0TWht5qG4_RbhI0Hv2eUljHkAFYaTa9WW-UUhSyrgGKFQGP0uQxDlKG8HOh7Pr31oC1qQ3-1LF2d89w3u6h8VBswI3_WJT/s4032/PXL_20230612_222746453.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc7PP8Z0_s85_IcCDwAXmCWqtvzt6vSrvNgGgCp249O00q-kKmblPjJxYP23QIvIKVo0oSkMFuXFMKLQTssO-FHmSZDS0TWht5qG4_RbhI0Hv2eUljHkAFYaTa9WW-UUhSyrgGKFQGP0uQxDlKG8HOh7Pr31oC1qQ3-1LF2d89w3u6h8VBswI3_WJT/w640-h480/PXL_20230612_222746453.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisieQNGnM_2MOxCVSQ7Q2lqgSQSLnISnxy2E5mtkctsCH5XbokgmVC1iyCGfs3t-iT3NtnC9l4tjR7s3S4P565RDNfVhCVAGJBHLqixeYZpTO2hmILng1T1oJNSkGZ9QrfRzj9-E7mKl41x72fDoiGm1YmW7iyw2GbVwmXfvaJ3gXi5yHqKc2W-CEG/s4032/PXL_20230612_222800352.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisieQNGnM_2MOxCVSQ7Q2lqgSQSLnISnxy2E5mtkctsCH5XbokgmVC1iyCGfs3t-iT3NtnC9l4tjR7s3S4P565RDNfVhCVAGJBHLqixeYZpTO2hmILng1T1oJNSkGZ9QrfRzj9-E7mKl41x72fDoiGm1YmW7iyw2GbVwmXfvaJ3gXi5yHqKc2W-CEG/w640-h480/PXL_20230612_222800352.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I hope everyone had a great Monday... and if anyone needs started chickens this fall, you know who will have plenty to spare!! 😂😂😂</div><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11595456085581691738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673397483184702605.post-54698375347313416412023-05-24T14:25:00.000-04:002023-05-24T14:25:08.035-04:00Just Goats!<p style="text-align: center;">I've had a lot of time off this spring during the slow season at work, which is awesome. One of the bigger projects I've been working on is getting my goat fencing up. I'm determined not to let this crew free range the neighborhood like the previous goats, even though my really nice neighbors apparently greatly enjoyed their visits. 😂</p><p style="text-align: center;">Because the fence isn't finished, though, I've been taking them on little field trips to have some supervised browsing time once a day. They stick pretty close to me, and if they start going in a direction I don't want them to, usually all I have to do is walk in the opposite direction, and they'll stampede after me. </p><p style="text-align: center;">I thought you might enjoy seeing some pictures and hearing a little bit about their personalities. </p><p style="text-align: center;">First is Lilah. One of my three Guernsey goat mixes, I think she is probably the "herd queen." Friendly and sweet, she is the most outgoing of the half sisters. In fact, I've been trying to teach her not to put her front hooves up on me when I'm in their pen. :P</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSyNrOO-_a6fCDJEwLMEF7z-RLlXDxw88dr48oLbClbWOD91xdd-GYdogrGpFhn7MKWvAzTRMPXF0NTwW33iHUIB_MQuXENzLRi6sU3jklSmAtE6CHVQHN6fNFTFtXBmF_4YpsAZXlch3VtJ36XYt9foENXvzkOcNUAxXhsc2QxetFotR4bR-TwijS/s4928/DSC_1019.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="4928" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSyNrOO-_a6fCDJEwLMEF7z-RLlXDxw88dr48oLbClbWOD91xdd-GYdogrGpFhn7MKWvAzTRMPXF0NTwW33iHUIB_MQuXENzLRi6sU3jklSmAtE6CHVQHN6fNFTFtXBmF_4YpsAZXlch3VtJ36XYt9foENXvzkOcNUAxXhsc2QxetFotR4bR-TwijS/w640-h424/DSC_1019.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuJYROiH8coE_A3KGxtUKyDnT6cn6R-azR9pMQvC1AY4Xo_wlVs9d4mHhi5esA9jvbamCoFTqQA8HK-ELNmbtFAKOSzzokLPQD51_i6P0nP3oySXc6gawnbTW0l9esdMg2tS0dSKvDsp0x5eR0z5E2ghkvBVSlZw_jISKY1Y-bUDDaDlONQGDrRqqm/s4928/DSC_1014.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="4928" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuJYROiH8coE_A3KGxtUKyDnT6cn6R-azR9pMQvC1AY4Xo_wlVs9d4mHhi5esA9jvbamCoFTqQA8HK-ELNmbtFAKOSzzokLPQD51_i6P0nP3oySXc6gawnbTW0l9esdMg2tS0dSKvDsp0x5eR0z5E2ghkvBVSlZw_jISKY1Y-bUDDaDlONQGDrRqqm/w640-h424/DSC_1014.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWlIubkrw7Y5SgUK4BgGkG2fERMFtAfogtrs1rAAk1mh-z0dbBdxam_FeRkMfmg1dQak3vC5NQbN_u5gJe6qSKj3GwWfZSRCsdRdT8-hEcZTDVeMGbHeYRvsCgruaU90HAptrFnf9p6B2D3W6TvUwZyuPIRg9rL3phDXzTx0EAg-HcWJ65HZIw6IhW/s4928/DSC_1021.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="4928" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWlIubkrw7Y5SgUK4BgGkG2fERMFtAfogtrs1rAAk1mh-z0dbBdxam_FeRkMfmg1dQak3vC5NQbN_u5gJe6qSKj3GwWfZSRCsdRdT8-hEcZTDVeMGbHeYRvsCgruaU90HAptrFnf9p6B2D3W6TvUwZyuPIRg9rL3phDXzTx0EAg-HcWJ65HZIw6IhW/w640-h424/DSC_1021.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFvayV556HbtREZG5xnRH8FzABtNnWB2c5KE9cWG8EixABVyV9xX7x_0YQm2T8QYeOk8W25Hgc0qC00XMeKg9efzCQoUWtaF05C8McK2aPRRJXdKcPhKj69s-cBCVunbskOKZSYd4diKeE1AJFzOJnNxP9eeAWm1IsdVKERqm_bol419VkOEhiSE9J/s4928/DSC_0965.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="4928" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFvayV556HbtREZG5xnRH8FzABtNnWB2c5KE9cWG8EixABVyV9xX7x_0YQm2T8QYeOk8W25Hgc0qC00XMeKg9efzCQoUWtaF05C8McK2aPRRJXdKcPhKj69s-cBCVunbskOKZSYd4diKeE1AJFzOJnNxP9eeAWm1IsdVKERqm_bol419VkOEhiSE9J/w640-h424/DSC_0965.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Scratching an itch!</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsG8JStPqUAw356mYu6cy90eU0s8-2_ubDOl4cAbvxjpRbPcYxB6A7hMFqoxuiOQpBfSdddOUTynntYX3srvTcc3TN6WPF1ItwD_C0oVXAUfBtBLhXSFCSqEZFJKJ685g7-N-UcsZvgiK5ZuW0HwC8YNB3Ca5Sfb-QDgwSerLkF_6Nd8sMViSV8uyr/s4928/DSC_0919.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="4928" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsG8JStPqUAw356mYu6cy90eU0s8-2_ubDOl4cAbvxjpRbPcYxB6A7hMFqoxuiOQpBfSdddOUTynntYX3srvTcc3TN6WPF1ItwD_C0oVXAUfBtBLhXSFCSqEZFJKJ685g7-N-UcsZvgiK5ZuW0HwC8YNB3Ca5Sfb-QDgwSerLkF_6Nd8sMViSV8uyr/w640-h424/DSC_0919.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Next up is Marigold, Lilah's half sister.

They're a small breed known for having extremely rich, creamy milk. I had considered the breed a while back, but decided to go a different route because the market in this area seems to be extremely flooded with Nigerians. But then I tried the milk and just had to have one. 😂 Starflower may be small, but she doesn't let the bigger goats push her around...in fact, she bullies Marigold a little bit. I think they're "frenemies" - I've seen them playing together sometimes too.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvUnjJe37fL2uAFbokNsxpteXmiGEO3vAotLXvsfO0yvfnnZBF_rU9HpiecwxS4lfhBWh_mz8bYXDw-tYpeH3WaG79fcK_cHOPDu_dmxlZqi6fHG91dIxwVFsdN8qz72WZekRLpQN0FoqIFXSW0PdzXcuBFhtLL0Yf_M0siR-FLVjjhffnC1ZK0S8g/s4928/DSC_0964.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="4928" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvUnjJe37fL2uAFbokNsxpteXmiGEO3vAotLXvsfO0yvfnnZBF_rU9HpiecwxS4lfhBWh_mz8bYXDw-tYpeH3WaG79fcK_cHOPDu_dmxlZqi6fHG91dIxwVFsdN8qz72WZekRLpQN0FoqIFXSW0PdzXcuBFhtLL0Yf_M0siR-FLVjjhffnC1ZK0S8g/w640-h424/DSC_0964.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGnGbHERa5ZeIVQOpTb4iVP8Bgta2ZM28gFZ1e58kMKyxnVvU2XHPeH4y_aeWbIgDUM0oANc9SWR1susoF0pmjCZAzobgfokF3eNYCL4fbiktLrW5Hd1Kp-Xa3ItpFPRaLCfcLyC9LpoAGM6l1c1084Rworh3Ha8OhgjMnO9_EA-u1RXslONwSCWmi/s4928/DSC_0967.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="4928" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGnGbHERa5ZeIVQOpTb4iVP8Bgta2ZM28gFZ1e58kMKyxnVvU2XHPeH4y_aeWbIgDUM0oANc9SWR1susoF0pmjCZAzobgfokF3eNYCL4fbiktLrW5Hd1Kp-Xa3ItpFPRaLCfcLyC9LpoAGM6l1c1084Rworh3Ha8OhgjMnO9_EA-u1RXslONwSCWmi/w640-h424/DSC_0967.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc0FORwqj8b2SzyHGXXtzFsx_yaHMRoRLLNcIDVQ-MTVVvYCLZ8PnDQDhbfcjr4vufrzy0grOAxgk-4mCS8k6ON0n70XPjcAYEeMut__QEM_a2k-5QSltDRomhFcdO3MsT0H9dXvq5BZG_1W-34_ju6DUIg7qKhgbqCeOhlZIqNF6JqKZPPGwy1Uxj/s4928/DSC_1008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="4928" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc0FORwqj8b2SzyHGXXtzFsx_yaHMRoRLLNcIDVQ-MTVVvYCLZ8PnDQDhbfcjr4vufrzy0grOAxgk-4mCS8k6ON0n70XPjcAYEeMut__QEM_a2k-5QSltDRomhFcdO3MsT0H9dXvq5BZG_1W-34_ju6DUIg7qKhgbqCeOhlZIqNF6JqKZPPGwy1Uxj/w640-h424/DSC_1008.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The picture below shows the size difference pretty well.

They're known for being loud and talkative, and Daisy is no exception. When she first came, she bleated until she literally lost her voice, poor girl. 😂 Other than being loud, she's another "background" goat with a mild, sweet personality. I think because she joined the herd most recently (last fall), she sometimes hangs out in the periphery of the group. There have been a few times when she almost got left behind, suddenly realized she was alone, and ran to catch up with everyone else. She is the most friendly toward strangers.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I didn't need another goat, but I got her because she was a steal of a deal, was only 10 minutes down the road, and because huge-eared, skinny-legged Nubian kids are just about the cutest thing you've ever seen. :P </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnK3WZy4ShoQFzYWzqt4M6atB0vNY8hIW9srsWiIkJYmTPKxsO7xi4VY25z33ZsshhyGtUW6mUYsrqQCMqR4p2ynlMtjpl1JgQT6o-hMBHbjM2fDVYU3-y3NOZgsHfL8fGwKh2hYATcBwlZGCknGgQiorFyMHrnQhjHKZSZAjoWTtKTvqw_6fL01Xi/s4355/DSC_0943%20(2).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2847" data-original-width="4355" height="418" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnK3WZy4ShoQFzYWzqt4M6atB0vNY8hIW9srsWiIkJYmTPKxsO7xi4VY25z33ZsshhyGtUW6mUYsrqQCMqR4p2ynlMtjpl1JgQT6o-hMBHbjM2fDVYU3-y3NOZgsHfL8fGwKh2hYATcBwlZGCknGgQiorFyMHrnQhjHKZSZAjoWTtKTvqw_6fL01Xi/w640-h418/DSC_0943%20(2).JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_Obwj_xrA5a_Iuko624KByeW2cVeaxAlvJU-mqcwouhG3ZkhozgGzf2WMPvYP8rqsr2jQUJmJVQl137XxknuUsEzzKctaWR5y6xKckncCueDDZ8qRswt898KRI9AwIb28VekFidU3XdFF3nr7vR-cEOYZ06jrqfz0lGOHawJu3Bx9kOw-uZ1xvuSw/s4928/DSC_0946.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="4928" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_Obwj_xrA5a_Iuko624KByeW2cVeaxAlvJU-mqcwouhG3ZkhozgGzf2WMPvYP8rqsr2jQUJmJVQl137XxknuUsEzzKctaWR5y6xKckncCueDDZ8qRswt898KRI9AwIb28VekFidU3XdFF3nr7vR-cEOYZ06jrqfz0lGOHawJu3Bx9kOw-uZ1xvuSw/w640-h424/DSC_0946.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWkB_nDXelyY0aUMlrohp6uOItki345nij79-vonAoHaxXuSiZRERxb7gzfVwZHxZnD2e86QymSqdo1HUl5B5T4huhshuaubViCABejFPhVSe8h8EUrT1oUq3Hlk9lQARbiDWQf4bwD-lMokd0_MlUlf_oBnILUPlmTlXpgtjYi6KJ1vF3zRNU72PN/s4928/DSC_0949.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="4928" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWkB_nDXelyY0aUMlrohp6uOItki345nij79-vonAoHaxXuSiZRERxb7gzfVwZHxZnD2e86QymSqdo1HUl5B5T4huhshuaubViCABejFPhVSe8h8EUrT1oUq3Hlk9lQARbiDWQf4bwD-lMokd0_MlUlf_oBnILUPlmTlXpgtjYi6KJ1vF3zRNU72PN/w640-h424/DSC_0949.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here are a couple pictures of a little goat stampede.

I'm not totally certain what will happen after that, as 5 goats is already more than I need. As of right now, they're essentially just pets, and hay is expensive. But they are helping to clear and fertilize my land, and I can probably sell their kids next spring. I don't plan on selling milk, as I don't have a good setup to keep it cold...it's possible that I'd get pigs next spring and use any extra milk to supplement their feed.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed "meeting" the girls!

I'm not very organized as I build, so there are little piles of scrap lumber and supplies here, there and everywhere. </p><p style="text-align: center;">I'd also like to get siding up on the cottage and figure out what I'm doing about a porch.</p><p style="text-align: center;">On the dog front, Hazel not only has very bad hips, she also developed pyometra, a dangerous uterine infection, around 2 weeks ago. She's doing quite well on antibiotics, but will be spayed on the 12th as pyometra often comes back after the next heat cycle. I'm not sure yet if/when I'll be getting another breeding girl, and whether it'll be another Collie or if I want to go another direction.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I definitely tend to want to spend more time outdoors as the weather gets warmer, and we're in an awesome phase right now where the warm days and cold nights mean a crust forms on top of the snow. I can walk on it for a few hours in the morning before it gets too soft.

Between the loss of Breeze and some other stuff that has come up, my breeding program is officially on hold for an indefinite period of time. </p><p style="text-align: center;">I still have Thane and Hazel... Hazel will probably get spayed at some point and both dogs will stay here as beloved pets. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Maybe eventually I'll get a Breeze granddaughter and start over, but for now I'm taking the obstacles in my life as an indication that perhaps God wants me to focus on other things for a couple years.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I have plenty of projects - the Franken-barn needs a lot more work. The house needs siding, a porch, and lots of interior finish work. I have tons of clearing and fencing to do. The dog fence needs to be re-done, and the driveway probably should probably be improved so it doesn't turn into a giant mud pit every spring.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I also need to make decisions on livestock - for instance, do I really need 5 dairy goats? I love them, but hay is expensive!! 😝 And is this the year I should add a couple pigs? And should I try selling some hatching eggs? </p><p style="text-align: center;">I'll admit that I haven't necessarily gone through this with grace - I have grieved the loss of "the way I thought things were going to go" deeply. But I'm working on trusting that if this isn't God's plan, then He must have something better. ❤️</p><p style="text-align: center;">Hope everyone is having a good week!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdpziZ1Z5OT7qMKRsUHb6J52E9vooMCir59kBHZNcV7JGxMxa3bJtpwiRGqvku9GcdMDhrRDjCsEr7I1xNwvo4Pxgxfa8UXET1bqolZeuwRHghmto0IDdw9E38CH1OtlUjuPY-L5SJusf22CurqOWosd0h1ZzjIjj8Xt_MEYnbyIfzS6V4lv6j6nYb/s4032/PXL_20230313_203320996.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdpziZ1Z5OT7qMKRsUHb6J52E9vooMCir59kBHZNcV7JGxMxa3bJtpwiRGqvku9GcdMDhrRDjCsEr7I1xNwvo4Pxgxfa8UXET1bqolZeuwRHghmto0IDdw9E38CH1OtlUjuPY-L5SJusf22CurqOWosd0h1ZzjIjj8Xt_MEYnbyIfzS6V4lv6j6nYb/w480-h640/PXL_20230313_203320996.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11595456085581691738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673397483184702605.post-89549221557831554372023-02-06T12:58:00.001-05:002023-02-06T12:58:28.014-05:00Hey, Hay!!<p style="text-align: center;"> This past Friday, just before the cold snap really got intense, I bought 60 more bales of hay. I didn't have time to bring it down the hill into the Franken-barn before work, so my hay guy helped me stack it on pallets at the top of the driveway. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Today I'm working on moving it. Once I took a few bales away so that there were varying levels in the stack, Purrcy and Clawdia determined that its primary purpose was clearly to be a kitty playground. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Here are some pictures of them having fun.

If she matures well, she will have puppies of her own someday!</p><p style="text-align: center;">Murray lives in NH with his half sister Maisie from the 2021 litter. Technically his litter name was Black Walnut, but since he was reserved almost from birth, I never really called him anything other than Murray. 😝 </p><p style="text-align: center;">Chestnut just went home Sunday. She lives in Massachusetts and is now called Noreshi or Nory. She has already visited the beach! She's an absolute sweetheart and a very easy pup, and I enjoyed having her stay on longer.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Acorn lives a couple hours further up in Maine. She kept her name, but had "Holly" added to the name.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Cashew is now Shepherd, and lives on a farm in Missouri. He too will hopefully be a breeding prospect when he is mature.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Breeze's puppies:</p><p style="text-align: center;">Fritter is now Fritz and lives in Maine. Fun fact - his owner has a female dog who is Hazel's aunt! He is very loved, and his owner posts the cutest pictures of him. 🥰</p><p style="text-align: center;">Cider lives about an hour south of me in Maine. I haven't heard whether he has a new name, but I did hear that he is already very spoiled, sleeping in the owner's bed. 😂 He has big paws to fill - his owners have previously had Collies that lived to be 15 and 16 years old. ❤️</p><p style="text-align: center;">Betty is now Betsy and also lives in South Carolina with Sunny. She too will be a breeding prospect, and will learn to herd. I may buy a puppy back from her someday - she was my favorite, and looks a lot like Breeze. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Streusel is now Myles, and lives with a family in southern NH. I greatly enjoy hearing about him - sounds like even at a very young age, he is showing discernment and plays more gently with the smallest child than with the older kids. He will stay intact and I may even breed Hazel to him when he is old enough.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Candy is now Willow and lives just a few minutes away from me in Maine. Sounds like she will help preside over a roadside flower stand this summer. ❤️</p><p style="text-align: center;">Crisp is now Freya and lives about an hour away in Maine. She is a little princess and is pretty sure she rules the roost. 😂 </p><p style="text-align: center;">Cobbler is now Abraham and lives a couple hours further up in Maine. He's still a pistol, but even though he was a bit of an impulse purchase, God sent exactly the right people for him and he's doing very well. </p><p style="text-align: center;">It's always really neat to see how God provides such perfect homes for every puppy. These two litters bring the total number of Butterscotch Farm puppies up to 30, distributed among 28 different homes. That's mind blowing!! </p><p style="text-align: center;">As of right now, my plan is to wait to breed again until spring 2024, as I have oodles of other projects that need to get done. </p><p style="text-align: center;">I also want to thank everyone so much for reaching out and supporting me with the untimely loss of Breeze... you are all a blessing and an encouragement. I'm doing okay. I just try not to let my mind dwell on the subject for too long. But please know that your words of love and support mean SO much to me. ❤️ </p><p style="text-align: center;">Because it's not a blog post without a couple pictures, here are a couple pictures of the puppies growing up:</p><p style="text-align: center;">Freya</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTdnEFWeXFngbwHNlQ-PU85OKIlXeYNNN0ccIyv9j8Rof1hKdXYE0F8XRR8fElucOEMPu_8QYfvffHQ8LoypEerki7m7_PiqOv1M66Nt0-z1PrUtkmnhY_nyVVFGjX5-U7r2sF4s_LMZNTeDgugadTUSj08kE5TLqTLimjnzLUzILCmBSBJMEoALsM/s2000/received_627617809122278.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1500" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTdnEFWeXFngbwHNlQ-PU85OKIlXeYNNN0ccIyv9j8Rof1hKdXYE0F8XRR8fElucOEMPu_8QYfvffHQ8LoypEerki7m7_PiqOv1M66Nt0-z1PrUtkmnhY_nyVVFGjX5-U7r2sF4s_LMZNTeDgugadTUSj08kE5TLqTLimjnzLUzILCmBSBJMEoALsM/w480-h640/received_627617809122278.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Myles</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRFbHgnLpz62bRhkSTwthfP3vZFnMaB1Y_4B3SWKBRKBzn6tIloM-uh7FsfwBIGwehA_f5TF8u2DKs8nIl6C4O8biUyCaGMzJW3Q4vAdrpaD0F-WUZzvs9h1tfnfu8neuYk6TfCHg2yDCpfOWhzfNWse00nytLLqDdjuMocj5D_J8XDxibiuZcB-87/s4032/Myles%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRFbHgnLpz62bRhkSTwthfP3vZFnMaB1Y_4B3SWKBRKBzn6tIloM-uh7FsfwBIGwehA_f5TF8u2DKs8nIl6C4O8biUyCaGMzJW3Q4vAdrpaD0F-WUZzvs9h1tfnfu8neuYk6TfCHg2yDCpfOWhzfNWse00nytLLqDdjuMocj5D_J8XDxibiuZcB-87/w480-h640/Myles%201.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Nory (with Hazel) before going home </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi95vi0ohunxsAy-V1-6wf22akfs70jg7dQlLZeAblHcZGLVjJ30JP4D4mlbxy1c-fKNKpC_1tyqeo1ZnZpx7x56Vfjdc9--2d6F8b3LjKic3tNLWJ46XYmKKf5_te38KzDE8HgdfH0wDmPhOQKCcisDkgVOxUdNaFVrzRkXkXyGFD22_nHwCoyf-1Z/s2637/IMG_20230125_153721_356.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2637" data-original-width="2637" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi95vi0ohunxsAy-V1-6wf22akfs70jg7dQlLZeAblHcZGLVjJ30JP4D4mlbxy1c-fKNKpC_1tyqeo1ZnZpx7x56Vfjdc9--2d6F8b3LjKic3tNLWJ46XYmKKf5_te38KzDE8HgdfH0wDmPhOQKCcisDkgVOxUdNaFVrzRkXkXyGFD22_nHwCoyf-1Z/w640-h640/IMG_20230125_153721_356.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11595456085581691738noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673397483184702605.post-79553444266061230172023-01-30T15:41:00.000-05:002023-01-30T15:41:24.324-05:00Heartbreak <p style="text-align: center;"> This one's tough to write, but I want to get it off my chest.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Breeze died yesterday.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I had planned for a while to place her in a retirement home at some point. A part of me really wanted to keep her, but there were the beginnings of signs that she and Hazel might be starting to debate who the queen bee was, so I decided that I'd send Breeze off to her well-deserved retirement now rather than wait and see whether things would escalate.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I'd had a lady from Ohio who had been very interested in her for a while. We coordinated schedules and met in western Massachusetts yesterday afternoon. </p><p style="text-align: center;">A little while after the handoff, though, I got frantic calls and messages from the new owner... Breeze had slipped her collar at a rest area and was running loose.</p><p style="text-align: center;">This is not uncommon - from now on I will always send adult dogs with a slip lead just in case. And often loose dogs go into panic mode and just run. </p><p style="text-align: center;">I turned around and started booking it in their direction, but I was already an hour and 20 minutes away. When I was 40 minutes out, I got the word - Breeze had been hit on the highway and was gone. </p><p style="text-align: center;">So I turned around once more and started back east, dropping Nory/Chestnut off with her person along the way. God gave me the grace to keep it together and stay safe on the road. I got home about 11pm and then hugged my dogs and cried.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Today has been a sad day. I'm just taking it slow and going through a lot of tissues. A lot of my grief centers around the poor lady who wanted Breeze - I hate to think of the stress and fear she felt when Breeze escaped and the pain of learning that she didn't make it. I'm grieving the loss of potential, too - Breeze was not even 5 yet. I'm sad that her new person won't get to learn her funny quirks...or see how excited she got when you would pick up her leash...or hear her funny little howl. </p><p style="text-align: center;">I'm working to trust God, and I know He'll heal the hurt in time. I'm grateful for the 3 years I had with Breeze. And I'm grateful that her legacy lives on in the 18 beautiful puppies she gave me (plus 7 she had before she came to me). </p><p style="text-align: center;">But wow, this is hard! Many thanks to those who have heard this already and have been praying for me and for Breeze's new person. I really appreciate you all. ❤️</p><p style="text-align: center;">LH's Cool Summer Breeze</p><p style="text-align: center;">April 3, 2018 - January 29, 2023</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTylW3oCk12pqXRl39YiFLBb8NaHGnEywqP1ne6O8IpPSbMwvayvFL8I_aUM5kaqnfQs64Q_ngE9j4rcdtvNUVisruEiPHWl3K8pZM48LiB4Chsdxkwyx_OI0ftROBoRrtuXNbeHQjCQVj309dsVGYdUBUQ1deYjD5rJFMb4fjdeN5naT6B7eoxgE5/s4032/PXL_20230127_141152715.PORTRAIT.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTylW3oCk12pqXRl39YiFLBb8NaHGnEywqP1ne6O8IpPSbMwvayvFL8I_aUM5kaqnfQs64Q_ngE9j4rcdtvNUVisruEiPHWl3K8pZM48LiB4Chsdxkwyx_OI0ftROBoRrtuXNbeHQjCQVj309dsVGYdUBUQ1deYjD5rJFMb4fjdeN5naT6B7eoxgE5/w480-h640/PXL_20230127_141152715.PORTRAIT.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11595456085581691738noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673397483184702605.post-5989134404567030182022-12-27T10:45:00.001-05:002022-12-27T10:45:49.021-05:00More Puppy Pictures!!<p style="text-align: center;"> Lol, I promise someday I'll have something other than just puppy pictures to post on here. Hopefully most people are enjoying them in the meantime. :P</p><p style="text-align: center;">I brought each of Breeze's puppies outside for a few minutes for the first time yesterday. Fritter enjoyed himself. Most everyone else was kind of intrigued by how much there was to sniff, but not super thrilled at how cold and windy it was. Crisp was NOT impressed in the slightest! As a result, it was quite difficult to get halfway decent pictures, but I tried. :P </p><p style="text-align: center;">Here's Breeze's crew at just shy of 7 weeks.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>Fritter: RESERVED</b>. Fritter is a fun, playful boy. He has a wide independent streak - he's able to keep himself entertained well. However, he also enjoys human interaction and absolutely melts for tummy rubs.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlysRwGEPkNxwGKpC_SR4pdnS8SYJgCJ-l9y_1A8WHanTlwLDKb_ZAhF4RuqYIaD_OHhbe4swCQ_5s9ZYD2uhwdwIVWWXwXrXyOzN7WqXR51hxypheB18-WPy8fpT0YYxOCZ5UB00_8iIHuct1gJ-RA9InqVnWO9t5FL9pZZwHQbjPhwwu5BMkvrIm/s3839/DSC_0790%20(2).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2787" data-original-width="3839" height="464" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlysRwGEPkNxwGKpC_SR4pdnS8SYJgCJ-l9y_1A8WHanTlwLDKb_ZAhF4RuqYIaD_OHhbe4swCQ_5s9ZYD2uhwdwIVWWXwXrXyOzN7WqXR51hxypheB18-WPy8fpT0YYxOCZ5UB00_8iIHuct1gJ-RA9InqVnWO9t5FL9pZZwHQbjPhwwu5BMkvrIm/w640-h464/DSC_0790%20(2).JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Cider: AVAILABLE. </b>Cider is super, super sweet and happy.

Betty is moderately high energy and drive; she may be smaller and probably should have a job. Candy is sweetness incarnate, and has a lower to moderate energy level. Cobbler is very "busy" and drivey; I'm trying to decide whether he's actually high energy, or if he is just energetic in short bursts. :P </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And yes, I'm exhausted. 😂😂😂 I'm grateful that God has given me good health and enough energy throughout this, that He has kept the puppies safe, and that He gave me kind, helpful family members and the flexibility at work to do some odd shifts.

It currently houses the chickens, rabbits, goats and my supply of hay. The ducks also lived in it before I sold them...I'm currently renovating their area. I'm going to add solid walls and either move the rabbits there or turn it into a milking area for when I eventually have goats in milk.<p></p><p style="text-align: center;">I also brought each puppy from Hazel's litter outside for a few minutes. This was the first time for almost everyone (Cashew got a brief outing last week) as it's been too cold for little puppies most of the time.

They can start leaving a week from tomorrow...I believe two sable girls are definitely claimed (still working out who is going to which owner). Murray is reserved and Cashew is under evaluation. I believe I have an opening for a sable girl still.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Cashew:</p><p style="text-align: center;">This boy cracks me up.

Breeze's crew are 3 weeks old today, and Hazel's turned 5 weeks yesterday, so it's less than 3 weeks until the first litter can start going home! It's crazy how fast this time goes!</p><p style="text-align: center;"> Hazel's pups are pretty much all teddy bears, lol. Breeze's is possibly more of a mix - there may be a few higher energy pups in the bunch. </p><p style="text-align: center;">I'm still working on matching personalities with people on the waiting list, but it's possible 1-2 of Hazel's may be available, and maybe a few of Breeze's. See the tabs at the top of the page for more info on the parents and pricing.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Here are the pictures!! Breeze's were easier - Hazel's wanted to play. I had to make all manner of weird noises to get them to sit and look at me. 😂 </p><p style="text-align: center;">Peanut:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzjewdTxU6YzVTeC2ukhkf3oFujDjRK_LCUKJFqsZZBpEIoaHsOB0YR3fTSOuyMghr100rG2BVbu0U5JpkxDtre92k6k_xYDLHI_TMzpGekwrgdgLNwlE-ABzK7OJaPiL5A2xNJL734J_7y_AL0zaPwMsuaRQ78eoNQLQ_AKRdhOAaYkSKJ-j2s2po/s4032/PXL_20221130_152244797.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Breeze's are still in the stage where they basically just eat and sleep...eyes probably won't open for another few days or week. </p><p style="text-align: center;"> Hazel's, though, are getting HUGE and so much more interactive. I usually bring them (and Hazel) to my parents' house while I'm at work, so they are getting lots of experience riding in a car and lots of handling from my family. ❤️ </p><p style="text-align: center;">Here are Breeze's cuties at one week old:</p><p style="text-align: center;">Fritter (boy):</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

But everyone is growing! Overall they seem healthy and vigorous. I did take Candy to the vet this morning because she woke up around 3:30am crying and remained fussy for a few hours. If her temperature is normal when I check it again in a few minutes, I think it's safe to assume it was just an upset tummy or she was too chilly.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I'm not totally sure whether I will have puppies available from Breeze's litter... I'm still in discussion with my waiting list. Feel free to reach out if you're interested, though.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Okay, brace yourselves for extreme cuteness... Hazel's puppies are growing up fast!! She is being a truly incredible mother... she is SO careful how she moves around the puppies so she doesn't step on them, and she's feeding them so well that they are now between 4-5lbs at 3 weeks of age. For comparison, a couple of Breeze's puppies last summer were 6-7lbs at 8 weeks old (the biggest was 12). 😵💫</p><p style="text-align: center;">Peanut (girl):</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3qaqUh53DKQ5v2309Mal9M8yLYtQjaoxcZm0HW0Y7NCFnIfk_gUN4EYWJzsSJheDkL1H7L8cNzkLlHu-St_Dvd7I8ZM9hCPA8v7-T_U_0aiTtg_AB0gQvvajKSv-v_lwIqhPGEbYKlJ1v5YUlTst5O-OTiu8fVUYNS-vm4cdcFCJ9HvY7LI2GNFB4/s4032/PXL_20221116_155030571.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3qaqUh53DKQ5v2309Mal9M8yLYtQjaoxcZm0HW0Y7NCFnIfk_gUN4EYWJzsSJheDkL1H7L8cNzkLlHu-St_Dvd7I8ZM9hCPA8v7-T_U_0aiTtg_AB0gQvvajKSv-v_lwIqhPGEbYKlJ1v5YUlTst5O-OTiu8fVUYNS-vm4cdcFCJ9HvY7LI2GNFB4/w480-h640/PXL_20221116_155030571.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">Murray (boy, reserved):</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtg7-MrQdEePGl4Xsw2z0jZrsXS0-GiE557ygZ5yNutJiGBFgMvbjVjHtV5rTZMXx-efJCOOy0QRrbM01EMhfOIWe4VvZDHHq_GpA3qUKsdcLeCQI_nmq_DhSuZcku4mzjhGYmTkjjG5Pk0KKWVLQzydxLvXn86irJtxXfb54Q9aBJBrL119ssQb08/s4032/PXL_20221116_155345650.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtg7-MrQdEePGl4Xsw2z0jZrsXS0-GiE557ygZ5yNutJiGBFgMvbjVjHtV5rTZMXx-efJCOOy0QRrbM01EMhfOIWe4VvZDHHq_GpA3qUKsdcLeCQI_nmq_DhSuZcku4mzjhGYmTkjjG5Pk0KKWVLQzydxLvXn86irJtxXfb54Q9aBJBrL119ssQb08/w480-h640/PXL_20221116_155345650.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Chestnut (girl):</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCb1dxPfXUvNbh0xhmMC6jFAwWzN_E52pXL5M8Vq6rQ5f53BF05zxgG-guSZl6XGePDiQnStmOSIe4-c0v9EtHw3lBeYpTspMI_XtUS-qoM06NieFIqg9aRB3UnVaKFnCH55ZlifnthijDoJSopTs9mOta_37JZv_yl19Wots3Ed1-T9eznDv-OJ3w/s4032/PXL_20221116_160015909.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCb1dxPfXUvNbh0xhmMC6jFAwWzN_E52pXL5M8Vq6rQ5f53BF05zxgG-guSZl6XGePDiQnStmOSIe4-c0v9EtHw3lBeYpTspMI_XtUS-qoM06NieFIqg9aRB3UnVaKFnCH55ZlifnthijDoJSopTs9mOta_37JZv_yl19Wots3Ed1-T9eznDv-OJ3w/w480-h640/PXL_20221116_160015909.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Acorn (girl):</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqkct9iE81XlD1kkvci_isyQXqkew22Bfp1i1bHkITWqQmqlOdfzzGB5ej5ClENCsb1I5jFnkgG6AHpU9kekusW9e0E_srnSaE1W-Q7pPP7JPS34pMlL3PghoQ7ecAFGyyTfspncSWkyj2F21elX2I25U64tkFEz317rI-LlMNbr1nVdx_6T74wZM_/s4032/PXL_20221116_155901591.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqkct9iE81XlD1kkvci_isyQXqkew22Bfp1i1bHkITWqQmqlOdfzzGB5ej5ClENCsb1I5jFnkgG6AHpU9kekusW9e0E_srnSaE1W-Q7pPP7JPS34pMlL3PghoQ7ecAFGyyTfspncSWkyj2F21elX2I25U64tkFEz317rI-LlMNbr1nVdx_6T74wZM_/w480-h640/PXL_20221116_155901591.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Cashew (boy, possibly reserved):</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWGFQ2l1K8W-TG8czNYJMt3pKRKOuzG3O9Q0dE9qlaw5utDjvgPO_8laUapZkl97D6FpP1-xPtQBk--pCzLHq0i5IkwBmVctqg6_ANtmPaCzdtbKGqLVdzvfJSRlXlXn2oLNMpSQP54dXlTPYodyMSvzdRTzp_tdt2Zz6ZkIBh2fPzUbDn649X-uN1/s4032/PXL_20221116_160037380.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWGFQ2l1K8W-TG8czNYJMt3pKRKOuzG3O9Q0dE9qlaw5utDjvgPO_8laUapZkl97D6FpP1-xPtQBk--pCzLHq0i5IkwBmVctqg6_ANtmPaCzdtbKGqLVdzvfJSRlXlXn2oLNMpSQP54dXlTPYodyMSvzdRTzp_tdt2Zz6ZkIBh2fPzUbDn649X-uN1/w480-h640/PXL_20221116_160037380.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">Two of the girls are reserved (which two will depend on temperament).

It was a pretty uneventful delivery...6 puppies came in an hour, and then #7 trailed along an hour after everyone else.

Many are quite dark in color. They'll lighten up some, but a couple may end up with some lovely black shading over the sable as they mature. There's one tricolor. </p><p style="text-align: center;"> These guys already seem more active and vocal than Hazel's litter of chill, chunky teddy bears. 😂 I'm thinking they'll be fun dogs!</p><p style="text-align: center;">Here they are in birth order:</p><p style="text-align: center;">1.

Between daily chores, work, prepping for winter, AND prepping for not one but TWO litters of puppies... it's been a little hectic around the homestead. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Whatever forward progress that has been made couldn't have been done without God's provision of help, mostly from my Dad but also from other family members and from my church family. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Here's one project: knowing that Breeze would likely want to steal Hazel's puppies, I literally built a wall down the middle of my cottage. So now I live in a two-room cottage instead of one room. 😂 </p><p style="text-align: center;">Here's my new wall, with a nice sturdy gate that Dad put in for me yesterday. I'd potentially like to do wallpaper and wainscoting on this side; I'm installing beadboard on the kitchen side. Pardon the clutter... this is still very much a work in progress.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwCF_UaFwjPyrPFZCun8-aMQ6vfNKIZY1g5Kz_6UlmQpCw5zHcdKlivxj07f3rCIra_u7GpE8gJyRLMViRddgdKiGjZY1fFiieKxUzPSNzXsPRzSiB1ctTXYfWvOMJ7qwHbSRY9Yf90aKTVS4_S7nQJnGnVIFW9z08ymxATAOn02lemc3i6SPMjtmY/s4032/PXL_20221025_181719243.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwCF_UaFwjPyrPFZCun8-aMQ6vfNKIZY1g5Kz_6UlmQpCw5zHcdKlivxj07f3rCIra_u7GpE8gJyRLMViRddgdKiGjZY1fFiieKxUzPSNzXsPRzSiB1ctTXYfWvOMJ7qwHbSRY9Yf90aKTVS4_S7nQJnGnVIFW9z08ymxATAOn02lemc3i6SPMjtmY/w640-h480/PXL_20221025_181719243.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">In the midst of all this chaos, I had my first major dog-and-porcupine incident last week. Hazel, who was due in less than a week, found a weak spot in the fence while I was at work and went after a porcupine that has been hanging out nearby. Needless to say, she definitely received more punishment than she meted out. If you follow me on Facebook, you've seen these pictures.

We ended up being there several hours, but one whopping vet bill later, Hazel was all fixed up. 😝 </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">She was pretty sore and sad the next day, and we're still finding the occasional quill.

You can read about this "oops" litter under the tab at the top of the page titled "2022 Litters." I certainly didn't plan to let my puppy get pregnant, but accidents happen, and her beautiful babies arrived early this morning. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It was a slow labor, and interestingly, most of the puppies arrived breech. This isn't usually a problem for dogs, but is less common than the nose coming out first. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hazel was pretty anxious and confused during the early part of labor, but after the first puppy came, she figured out what was going on and was a professional in no time. She's a great little mama. ❤️ </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Without further ado, here is the first of the two 2022 Butterscotch Farm Collie litters.

I have goats again!! ❤️ </p><p style="text-align: center;">I picked up three Guernsey mix doelings mid June, and added a Nigerian Dwarf doeling just a couple weeks ago because I tried the milk from that breed and found it absolutely delicious. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Dad has been helping me again - as usual, I couldn't have done it without him! A few others have pitched in as well, and now the goats have a very nice little roofed area just off the rabbitry. I'm still working on getting fencing up, but have a good start on their first pasture.</p><p style="text-align: center;">So here are the girls- Lilah (left) and Marigold (right). </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGBXmYf_fmzWB_2yELe-bP2BrwbcPWObQWZC35v3nnowfPVYZDAOaux7XYc0tNxkIXvLJxbIn1ducaJCkaEjc6hrJQ1cRs0UcJk2iNhhFx5bdIVPn6nCOf7Lj5pcu9sLaTRe5HALkPuW13Bn7L9ja_cJvOvV9j5IFgQ0GMyTIBiJq04ZNJN00k6reG/s4032/PXL_20220806_150400025.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGBXmYf_fmzWB_2yELe-bP2BrwbcPWObQWZC35v3nnowfPVYZDAOaux7XYc0tNxkIXvLJxbIn1ducaJCkaEjc6hrJQ1cRs0UcJk2iNhhFx5bdIVPn6nCOf7Lj5pcu9sLaTRe5HALkPuW13Bn7L9ja_cJvOvV9j5IFgQ0GMyTIBiJq04ZNJN00k6reG/w480-h640/PXL_20220806_150400025.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;">Starflower, the Nigerian Dwarf:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC1JeQfRPBfM9tD7t071WR-CH2l4bRGagqpoBKzWeLQuRl53nhTcatpuSDd7GHOBoBNM-vvf9qsw6rgvaIHyBD--YZ06hgjCbBHeAdTCokrpxlk7TR2bNHs1PqImsha63ztfJGehFBPgH29ImYI1aapHk3KbIoxFrMPNdtrxtx-Mre6ck0eYg9FLqi/s4032/PXL_20220806_150640274.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC1JeQfRPBfM9tD7t071WR-CH2l4bRGagqpoBKzWeLQuRl53nhTcatpuSDd7GHOBoBNM-vvf9qsw6rgvaIHyBD--YZ06hgjCbBHeAdTCokrpxlk7TR2bNHs1PqImsha63ztfJGehFBPgH29ImYI1aapHk3KbIoxFrMPNdtrxtx-Mre6ck0eYg9FLqi/w640-h480/PXL_20220806_150640274.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">Marigold again and Oakley on the right.

I was super excited, but I had to go to work. I hustled home right after work, and sure enough, Breeze had dug a little den under my front porch and had 6 beautiful puppies. I brought them inside and set them up in the whelping box. I was pleased - 6 was a nice, easy number of puppies. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Then she had another puppy. I thought, "Okay, 7 is good too." </p><p style="text-align: center;">8 and 9 arrived close together, and by then I was just laughing and wondering when the puppies would stop coming! </p><p style="text-align: center;">The answer was that they didn't stop until she had 11!! </p><p style="text-align: center;">11 puppies is a LOT! But, by God's grace, they all found absolutely awesome homes, and they're all becoming beautiful and wonderful dogs in their own ways. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Here's what they look like now:</p><p style="text-align: center;">1. Butterscotch Farm Vienna Wafer, "Enna." The girl I ended up keeping. She's around 50lbs. She's a funny, silly girl who loves to play with Breeze and Hazel. She's kind of a background dog, not needing to push in for attention from people, and not at all assertive about toys or her space with the other dogs. She's easy-going and adaptable.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ_NcpgeK1Cc4Y9qVCBZ-NRg8so67pgTRVeUz6znH4BoijSuw4rxzdvxfkFxTanxmL-wKFgcFn2K36FK8y2qwFkCj_x4LFJjZLjI_Gdoaqy1guuQ1Os-M39gPR_08MtT2TqIEuwQL4Y2tabNswP5SlqOhSD1BhtUktUILlpulumvMYYV1e98XXal8g/s4032/PXL_20220722_221837511.PORTRAIT.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ_NcpgeK1Cc4Y9qVCBZ-NRg8so67pgTRVeUz6znH4BoijSuw4rxzdvxfkFxTanxmL-wKFgcFn2K36FK8y2qwFkCj_x4LFJjZLjI_Gdoaqy1guuQ1Os-M39gPR_08MtT2TqIEuwQL4Y2tabNswP5SlqOhSD1BhtUktUILlpulumvMYYV1e98XXal8g/w640-h480/PXL_20220722_221837511.PORTRAIT.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">2. Butterscotch Farm Molasses Cookie, "Molly." Molly stayed with me for several months. She now lives in Jay, Maine, with her people, a cat best friend, a Sheltie "brother," and some horses. She's around 50-55lbs, is oh-so-sweet, and is a little nervous about new situations but is learning to adjust.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIBFQYZwAyI_NGTgL_7rlE3ren2V2h5uoYsmmadpkmRplj4PuqrydueOF_NFJWUWUdGyXqnYWUohYOSvKAM9liLImnpMT0eLbAtKLyTHXFC4332q3L5T27KLWbR5QlGZCfnOfy6fu-6HpSglLmDbfUc67Ih6fkpWTpvESZySNL1DysbtrwKKnHi7dl/s2000/295482519_737816144155590_8082791094887162408_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1488" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIBFQYZwAyI_NGTgL_7rlE3ren2V2h5uoYsmmadpkmRplj4PuqrydueOF_NFJWUWUdGyXqnYWUohYOSvKAM9liLImnpMT0eLbAtKLyTHXFC4332q3L5T27KLWbR5QlGZCfnOfy6fu-6HpSglLmDbfUc67Ih6fkpWTpvESZySNL1DysbtrwKKnHi7dl/w476-h640/295482519_737816144155590_8082791094887162408_n.jpg" width="476" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">3. Butterscotch Farm Spritz, "Spritzie." Here's what his owner says about his personality: "Spritzie enjoys long romps in the field, especially diving into really tall grass and then bounding like a deer through it. He also loves all kids, especially his own, his best bud Margot, and sandals - preferably tough, rubbery ones. He lives to shred a roll of toilet paper as well. He loves all the food, and is the only dog we have that will eat brussel sprouts and broccoli. He rarely barks, but when he does, he means business. He has a great recall and likes to please his people. He is very gentle with the house kitties and pet cockatiels. He is a good boy - apart from the shoes and toilet paper." He's around 50 lbs and lives in southwest Maine.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjupb7o3hSyTENCgpmZz7UF-tzriHDk0MPUC37AW1qG2gwezAekRYBI6c2L3rUMbcFmFR0xpevSCdDqwc_W8Ur5IMLv4tTckIaTIU_iNmSL7T5J4pOwc1RHL59jM95rFK0FqVnUP8Vd-H1IOSMMqPunTVkxvpgL3kz_8ovFJ90qeSOL5odEuxID0sS/s2048/294197022_467330565219728_7828819986572006769_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjupb7o3hSyTENCgpmZz7UF-tzriHDk0MPUC37AW1qG2gwezAekRYBI6c2L3rUMbcFmFR0xpevSCdDqwc_W8Ur5IMLv4tTckIaTIU_iNmSL7T5J4pOwc1RHL59jM95rFK0FqVnUP8Vd-H1IOSMMqPunTVkxvpgL3kz_8ovFJ90qeSOL5odEuxID0sS/w640-h480/294197022_467330565219728_7828819986572006769_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">4. Butterscotch Farm Marguerite, "Pilgrim." She's tiny - around 40 lbs! Her owner says she is "so, so loving. Will sit on you all day if you let her. So smart. Always covered in dried toothpaste because she has to be around the kids all the time (even when they are brushing their teeth and they dribble on her). She loves visiting family members. She loves tug of war, her bones, and going on walks!" She lives in Maine.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh80kfltX7vkVfhdrOeTTn-YyvdIStTABBgWOeWaWz0xzVdHm74X3_khxYB3jHKqXqckn339Sq50hbiIBrj3MCsVtCy62gyJhl2OANhADP5g4dBjk6StynSObBspyiC_v4648IzZkcTGYDiW3FEqGfrkh3--H4X0VAJ7mYOzOWx0tgpKx-zFgQJJCFa/s1280/285370007_403907824988171_2488232597128133189_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="960" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh80kfltX7vkVfhdrOeTTn-YyvdIStTABBgWOeWaWz0xzVdHm74X3_khxYB3jHKqXqckn339Sq50hbiIBrj3MCsVtCy62gyJhl2OANhADP5g4dBjk6StynSObBspyiC_v4648IzZkcTGYDiW3FEqGfrkh3--H4X0VAJ7mYOzOWx0tgpKx-zFgQJJCFa/w480-h640/285370007_403907824988171_2488232597128133189_n.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">5. Butterscotch Farm Peppernut, "Pepper." Pepper is around 45 lbs and lives in Maine. She is very biddable. Likes to destroy Christmas ornaments, though. She can pull a sled. She is learning to do some service work for her owners, detecting anxiety attacks and standing between the little girl and any perceived threats. She is very happy and loveable toward everyone, and is gentle with kids. She has a strong herding drive and likes to howl back at coyotes. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrOZMA_N9Li5IRZzcaV8kz5Bt6ecfh9N1S9GRBEjEEs0bwAgELP_D2qDVLOWnOLQqvwcifP87C-8L68_NXoIXCRiyf0VtOPexqNU7wY5TCqr5BaHxVfwOMMQCMAkGSM2EkMc5l5L4QjQoJxxK8hP11nQ7MFW19ZlYIOzFbS6EzGQTNCxY7b0Z_4wV6/s2048/294505693_2859557247679018_5746465493192480557_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrOZMA_N9Li5IRZzcaV8kz5Bt6ecfh9N1S9GRBEjEEs0bwAgELP_D2qDVLOWnOLQqvwcifP87C-8L68_NXoIXCRiyf0VtOPexqNU7wY5TCqr5BaHxVfwOMMQCMAkGSM2EkMc5l5L4QjQoJxxK8hP11nQ7MFW19ZlYIOzFbS6EzGQTNCxY7b0Z_4wV6/w480-h640/294505693_2859557247679018_5746465493192480557_n.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">6. Butterscotch Farm Chocolate Chip Cookie, "Moose." Moose lives in northern Maine, and is one of the biggest pups at around 65lbs. He loves walks and playing with toys, and will jump around like a bucking horse with his rope toy. He brings his toys to his people when he wants to play, and will plop himself on his owners' chests for hugs.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhayBB463q-OOJnsuUX5CxuSFrznAQLdp5Kv39DcgVk0dveCe-gLflgqJGCpO3xCu1l03C_-SM2Yuas4kEONdWfiQ0pjcl0YvdBpHcHGpUoRIEBWpbCbouLp1WvFOlg3TlddgXMv6rWLFqO7PSZt7binz8MDfDU5zAWseo9hobwFXxmNyKT0zO2V-ki/s398/moose.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="398" data-original-width="280" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhayBB463q-OOJnsuUX5CxuSFrznAQLdp5Kv39DcgVk0dveCe-gLflgqJGCpO3xCu1l03C_-SM2Yuas4kEONdWfiQ0pjcl0YvdBpHcHGpUoRIEBWpbCbouLp1WvFOlg3TlddgXMv6rWLFqO7PSZt7binz8MDfDU5zAWseo9hobwFXxmNyKT0zO2V-ki/w450-h640/moose.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">7.

She ignores chickens, sniffs cats, absolutely loves/licks/snuggles family members. She loves fetch, and gets very excited about horses, dogs, delivery trucks, joggers and baby strollers, though she is slowly getting braver. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzVVipeXTp7xKz58R2NTZzT98ltV8W2WMRChBp83eJCA53rriYPjIXRRyasdeEKWRv4bG-LdvHU_kRA3r1vAu_wLbS19315reO1ZIfeaL0-GGD6kSo5r45YtKNryzt9VtlOXqWJmoKIr--neGwj_7-CzHwMFxFJkat2QhDHsAlEf4wI3_odOreSc-l/s523/eula.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="523" data-original-width="280" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzVVipeXTp7xKz58R2NTZzT98ltV8W2WMRChBp83eJCA53rriYPjIXRRyasdeEKWRv4bG-LdvHU_kRA3r1vAu_wLbS19315reO1ZIfeaL0-GGD6kSo5r45YtKNryzt9VtlOXqWJmoKIr--neGwj_7-CzHwMFxFJkat2QhDHsAlEf4wI3_odOreSc-l/w342-h640/eula.jpg" width="342" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">8.

She has had some training, and has even earned her Novice Trick Title, but is going through a rugged adolescence and has "forgotten" all of her commands at the moment. :P She loves to dig, and will sniff around the yard to find the perfect rock to dig up, and will dig up chipmunk holes. She loves playing with her Frisbee, but will destroy fluffy toys. She prefers eating from puzzle dishes rather than regular dishes. She enjoys snuggling. She's learning to be friends with the goats, and tries to get them to play Frisbee with her. She has a favorite blankey that she will drag around to a comfy looking spot, and will sometimes hide underneath to chew on a toy.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVWCtfFRqhLJgOqHGbbYINfM5xlmozTBKhU3ksw7MdgyvJM-KtZ6j4T_WBTInKvZdyC9KFph1JUt85M_wNOlup2_LpSei7zZ-6Ap_LYVEbrE0zyGkkRxzJkuqfI_LPE5dh9gEAUTCL60D3eSU0-qsh6qarQfs-m3c1bnFffUUB8ZqyKyqijlVuInDr/s675/295109932_720096155947269_8874243065629714533_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="675" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVWCtfFRqhLJgOqHGbbYINfM5xlmozTBKhU3ksw7MdgyvJM-KtZ6j4T_WBTInKvZdyC9KFph1JUt85M_wNOlup2_LpSei7zZ-6Ap_LYVEbrE0zyGkkRxzJkuqfI_LPE5dh9gEAUTCL60D3eSU0-qsh6qarQfs-m3c1bnFffUUB8ZqyKyqijlVuInDr/w640-h426/295109932_720096155947269_8874243065629714533_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">10.

He loves licking people's feet (note from Sarah - that definitely comes from Thane!! :P )! He sleeps on his back frequently (that's from Breeze), and even plays with toys while lying on his back. He likes to climb in bed in the morning and snuggle. He likes to chew the eyes out of toys. He's an absolute joy and very sweet!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH2uh3KW7NnfbNGVaWRjoJDKV-0dofg_Har9yqEWMo4VtIoiq6h3NqKw0EtndiFMiJxUrSV_6adISPOrvSvwUVoQqXg2XTH9CXtgnTrUbXWCQ1gyoNe_iF1bBPyYSAR1oOPrvWMc-uBTyne2D05qiYW5HpGyW-QX9mUL7YSyWLseLLw00EsmHExvYO/s2048/294445906_1661819870850640_5182414843196566254_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1152" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH2uh3KW7NnfbNGVaWRjoJDKV-0dofg_Har9yqEWMo4VtIoiq6h3NqKw0EtndiFMiJxUrSV_6adISPOrvSvwUVoQqXg2XTH9CXtgnTrUbXWCQ1gyoNe_iF1bBPyYSAR1oOPrvWMc-uBTyne2D05qiYW5HpGyW-QX9mUL7YSyWLseLLw00EsmHExvYO/w360-h640/294445906_1661819870850640_5182414843196566254_n.jpg" width="360" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">11.

He's had mats for quite some time, but because he's indoor-outdoor, I waited until it was fairly warm to get him clipped. Lol, I'm pretty sure the dogs think I came home with a different cat - they're following him everywhere and sniffing him. 😂😂😂</p><p style="text-align: center;">Poor Purrcy. He really doesn't seem to mind the haircut, though - it probably feels good to get rid of all that fluff.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmGSsOUzERtSrpoE7v9cc_jiKCCmJIxKgd6VGP4Azfg5QVn5JCxhtAU7acqQkCAL30pHFAcuogJee6n0_-oaO9BWca9m1XQvbpjKXUqFBLmQEhhB1_R9hyb4rAJ8dX70fUVFTdyOklQ8RvklCosqeT7UZq30UogD6IvgZ1hmA1PsH8zyRP3LHKkH14/s4032/PXL_20220602_151253044.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmGSsOUzERtSrpoE7v9cc_jiKCCmJIxKgd6VGP4Azfg5QVn5JCxhtAU7acqQkCAL30pHFAcuogJee6n0_-oaO9BWca9m1XQvbpjKXUqFBLmQEhhB1_R9hyb4rAJ8dX70fUVFTdyOklQ8RvklCosqeT7UZq30UogD6IvgZ1hmA1PsH8zyRP3LHKkH14/w640-h480/PXL_20220602_151253044.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I wandered the woods for a few minutes before supper, and spotted tons of wildflowers.

I feel like I have to add the qualifying word "currently" when I answer that - as in, "I currently have 5 dogs." 😂 I only had 4 last week - Molly came back from a trial home this past Thursday, so now I'm back up to 5. She will be meeting another prospective owner soon, though, so we shall see.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Another dog update, and one that I'd appreciate prayer about is this: I've been having an issue with Breeze, Molly and Enna that could be something that would cause me to retire them from breeding. Right before Molly left for her trial home, I noticed a little depigmentation on her nose. In her new home, it flared up significantly, to the point that her person brought her to the vet. She was put on antibiotics in case it was some sort of infection. Meanwhile, Enna and then Breeze developed the same condition, though less severe - some roughness around the edges of the nostrils and inside them, and some depigmentation (pink spots on what should be black). This can be a sign of a type of dog lupus, so I was very concerned and had a biopsy done on Enna. Unfortunately, it was not definitive. Molly seemed to respond well to the antibiotics, and her nose appeared to be back to normal by the time she came home to me. Enna's nose is improving. Breeze's still looks a little rough, but I think is getting better. I'm honestly not sure what to do next, and my vet wasn't sure either... I don't know if, out of an abundance of caution, I should give up my plans to breed Breeze and Enna, get them spayed and place them in pet homes?? Or assume it was just something environmental since all 3 got it around the same time?? Whatever they have certainly is not a devastating health issue in the form in which it presented, but if it is hereditary, I don't know if the next generation could get a worse case of it??</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So you can see my dilemma and my need for God's wisdom and guidance. I really wanted to get one more keeper female from Breeze this fall, and I was very excited about breeding Enna when she is old enough. But I can't, in good conscience, breed either of them if it is lupus.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is how Enna's nose looked shortly after I noticed that she had the mystery condition:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxiLeVLfw7cOjEreeqfhK2Az9hlsTKG-xE4FP22TPPWHUGmzm2noQPCCBdowdLVcZBHAIKnFcJ-jrGwgMP4rXK9W42XodJKNK7mgqoAK-TBXUryIYnWpPiwbkXcrpdGTZhDygM3dQvc9CHP074wyT9rFiVHXwFrAMYf8tWQvLddnkxrjmqMGlkNWPi/s4032/PXL_20220413_111054403.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxiLeVLfw7cOjEreeqfhK2Az9hlsTKG-xE4FP22TPPWHUGmzm2noQPCCBdowdLVcZBHAIKnFcJ-jrGwgMP4rXK9W42XodJKNK7mgqoAK-TBXUryIYnWpPiwbkXcrpdGTZhDygM3dQvc9CHP074wyT9rFiVHXwFrAMYf8tWQvLddnkxrjmqMGlkNWPi/w640-h480/PXL_20220413_111054403.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Everyone seems otherwise happy and healthy.
