Two will stay


















It's been a busy week for us. Tessa (aka Smut) came back to us and promptly became ill. She stayed with the vet for about a week, but is now much better. She was delighted to see her family again -- especially her mother and brother. She and Thunder are learning "guarding" skills by watching their elders in the pasture. The livestock guardians have a lot going on right now. We have had three sets of twins (goats) born -- two sets on Sunday. Bella's babies were born during the early morning hours. We heard the dogs bark, but didn't see the new additions until after lunch. About that time, Bonnie had her two. Today, Betty added two to the mix.
With this group of livestock guardians, no coyotes have crossed the fence into the pasture.
