Everything is Early!

Mindy has been keeping me posted by text on the birth of each new goat the past week or so.  The milk started to flow early, so today I went to get two gallons and meet the 16 new babies!  Goats were everywhere, even on the tables!

This little guy came right up to the camera.

Huggie took the bone I brought him to the pasture still close enough to keep his eye on the goats

The weather has been crazy.  Very warm, then cold, then wet, yesterday we thought we were getting snow, we got more rain, but it's making everything bloom on the days that are warm.  

Last week we got about four inches in one day.

Had to use the ramp so the dogs could get in and out of the house over the moat!

My friend Nancy in Montana saw my trail cam post and had to one-up me on the bear situation. She gets grizzlies in her yard!  We got to know each other when I got a senior chow from CA to her in MT.

Speaking of bears . . . this is Lola & Isabella who were left at a shelter in Indiana because their owner was moving.  They are 10 year old sisters.  I worked the past weekend and all this week to get a transport of volunteers together to get them from IN to CT and that begins tomorrow.  Sweating this one out, hope all goes smoothly.  One driver out of dozens can mess up a transport.

They are going to a wonderful adopter in VT and will live on a Christmas tree farm!  Hoping to get a hike in to Mount Mitchell this weekend, should be 60 degrees, no rain or snow!  

Added these this morning.  Off to a good start. Amanda arrived at shelter early to get the girls harnessed and into the car.  They won't make it to their overnight in Carlisle, PA until 7:00 tonight. Paws crossed all goes well!

LOLA up front and center!

ISABELLA looks pretty happy to be sprung!  

Running ahead of schedule!
