Sunday, July 5, 2015 It’s cloudy and a little drizzly this morning and it feels great! All babies are doing well and Queen Ester looks like she might be next. I promised her a happy retirement party after this baby. … Continued

Saturday, July 4, 2015 Happy 4th of July! Parades and fireworks will be going on all around us today. We’ll just hang around here to make sure the dogs are OK with the fireworks, and hopefully get caught up with … Continued
Big, black and beautiful
Friday, July 3, 2015 And we have yet another baby! I knew Miranda was close when she spent the night in her favorite dusting hole. Sure enough, just as I started to vacuum the pastures yesterday morning, she started her … Continued

She woke up!
Friday, June 19, 2015 I think I can finally give a positive update on Marigold. It was like she “woke up” yesterday! She had a decent weight gain, stayed on her feet more than ever and acted like a normal … Continued
