Puppies!
Dec 9th 2007sleddoggerUncategorized
The puppies are so cute! They’re growing so fast! So far four of them are sold, and we have three of the black males left. I’ve been hoping one won’t sell, so I’ll be able to keep him! My parents don’t seem to share my enthusiasm though.� Don’t know why though . . .
We have a good amount of snow now. I’m hoping to get out snowshoeing a pack a trail, and then get the dogsled out. I having been feeling very well lately. This week I’ll get out for sure though.
The chickens and the rooster are doing good. They’re so funny! In the spring I’m going to try brooding some eggs, and see if we can raise some of our own. I’m planning on buying a couple dozen though.
Foxy is still with the pups. I think she’s starting to dry up, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re still nursing at night. I didn’t want to take her away from them yet, since it’s pretty cool. I figure if I keep a pup, I’ll move her into the pen with Slate and Blacky, and tie her up and let the pup run loose. It’ll be good for him to socialize with his daddy and Slate. I want to take him to obedience lessons, and bring him to work sometimes. And he can keep me company when I house-sit at my boss’s for six weeks later this winter.
Dad said I could get some livestock in the spring. I’m going to get three or four cows, pheasants, turkeys, meat chickens, and more laying chickens. I’d like to build up our cow herd over the next few years, and then sometime get�a milk cow, once I have a set schedule. And a horse, too.
