A strange reaction...

Maybe sleep deprivation? I read the part of the article that said the pirates were "released" 300 miles from shore with no weapons and no navigation equipment. it isn't funny that they apparently died, but I just started to giggle thinking of the "justice of the seas"!
If you just scan the headlines, it appears that Russia "released" the pirates because they didn't have enough proof to hold or charge them. That part is scary, especially if they had to know that the chances of them surviving that far from shore, where slim.

Five are on their way.

Hattie had her x-ray yesterday. Five are on their way, sooner than we thought. They had all been moving into birth position and her temperature has dropped. The temperature is one harbinger of impending birth. Last night I was convinced because of that and some of her activity it would happen then...well, we are still waiting! Everything stopped around midnight. I have to take her temperature this morning, but for now, she continues to grow....

And now we wait...

Hattie is 10 days away from her whelping date. It is to be May 16. May 10 we have an x-ray scheduled so that we know how many puppies to expect.
We bred her to Goren, Champion SB&K Criminal Intent owned by Carol Onstad. He is Sully's dad and Alex's litter mate.
She happily checked out the new whelping box Greg made for her.

Families are like puzzles

Each member a piece...


My oldest son is 35 today. Wow. I still remember the day. It was hot in Las Vegas. Over 80 degrees. What a blessing he is.

Our puzzle would not be complete without him.

Nigerian Miniature Goats

Aren't they darling? An adult can produce as much as 2 quarts of milk a day. MMM, mm. goat cheese.
I would love to have a couple of these and a couple of fiber goats. Some chickens....oh and the land to put them on....

Locks of love

Several months ago, my darling grand daughter decided she was going to donate her hair to an organization called "Locks of Love". She has very thick very curly hair. I am not sure why she decided to do this. Locks of love takes the hair and makes wigs for cancer patients. Each hank of hair must be ten inches long. Her mom washed it last night and then made about 7 braids, each of them about 1/2 inch thick. 5 of those were saved to be sent off to Locks of Love. I am very proud of her, she was pretty nervous today and afraid of the reaction of her school friends to her short sassy new hair do.
She made a decision, set a goal and in spite of nervousness followed through with it!
