Update

 Several weeks ago, Licorice ran away and never came back. The dog was driving her nuts as Lucy always took all my attention because of her training, and Licorice always slept on the couches in the Livingroom instead of my bed. I bawled my eyes out when she never came back, and the dog was just too much when we have no fenced in yard, and I had a ton of school coming up. So I had to find her a new family, and I am very glad I did. Lucy is now in a loving family with older kids and a younger girl to play with. She is very happy, (as the new owner emailed me on Lucy's adjustment,) and she is having so much fun. :-)

I miss Licorice terribly, and as a surprise, I have a new kitten now! So head on over the the "My Pets" Tab to read about him! :-)

Below is a picture from the new owner of Lucy in her new home. And a picture of my new kitten, Patty Paws. 

Lucy!

 I recently bought my first puppy, her name is Lucy, and she is of course a Beagle. I found her on a puppy website, and the story goes how I was either going to get a yellow Labrador, or a Tri-color Beagle. Well, lol, the Lab didn't work out because the breeder could not ship the puppy, (because of Covid-of course.) so I decided to get a Beagle from Missouri, and have someone drive her instead of airline-ship. Well, thankfully that worked out, because I would not have something to write about. LOL. If you are wondering why I got a puppy five states away, It is because CA was in lock down and everbody decided that getting a puppy would somehow help being in quarantine. It does, actually keep you VERY busy. ;-) 

Lucy is now three months old, and as I write this she is carrying a ping-pong ball in her mouth. *Gets up to snatch it away, but then decides she can have it for a few minutes because she hides it way under the queen bed out of reach. Says "Bad girl," and comes back.*                                                                              I guess I am just not used to having a dog, especially of how much trouble they seem to find themselves in-*Stops writing turns around because Lucy is being very quiet. Finds her chewing on my sister's Barbie doll. picks her up and puts her into her playpen.*-OK...Well, as I was saying, Lucy does not listen very well so that is why I might do some dog training with her after I get my drivers license. *slaps face when a giant bang rolls through the house. Finds out Lucy dumped her big bowl of food onto the floor.* -Let me rephrase that sentence, she WILL have some dog training. . .

So enjoy the video of Lucy angry at a brave cat for entering her "Space." The cat of course outsmarts her every time. But come on, Lucy is just so adorable!

We are actually starting up school in a couple weeks, so my next post will be about the subjects I am doing this year. 

What grade are you going into, and what are your school subjects this year?

I'm finally back!

I know, it has been a Very long time since I have posted on her. (Sorry about that) but now I have SO much to update you all on...
First of all yes, I bought the alpine doe, and second, Velvet and Harmony both had their adorable babies a few weeks ago. Harmony had 2 boys, (though I as hoping she would have twin girls again for the 4th time)... but oh well.
My buck "Puzzle" is surprisingly very tame, even though bucks are mostly always awful, Puzzle is very sweet and I have been teaching him tricks because I can no longer do them with velvet since she has her babies and all. Below is a short video of a couple tricks I

taught him...

Velvet also had her beautiful twins, 1 big boy and 1 big girl. below is "Trixie" and "Cocoa" and the ones after that is Harmony's babies "Shadow" and "Smokey."  who almost died because Harmony had a hard time delivering the HUGE baby Shadow.

 And to sum it all up, Angle our cat had eight kittens!!! :-)
2 grey
1 black
2 calicos
1 grey and white
1 black and white
1 orange and grey

I cant wait to show you them! As soon as I take photos of them I will be sure to show you all of them! :-)

"Puzzle Pieces"

Introducing my new buckling, Puzzle, he is 6 months old, and a purebred Nubian. His mom, Dad, and sister and brother are all registered, but sadly he is not. I might buy his Mom, "Pearl" So they are going to breed her first. (To their buck.) :-) :-) Baby goats expected in late march to early April.YAY!!!
And, Pearl had TRIPLETS, Puzzle is just ONE of them!!! pearl had two bucklings, and one doeling (which they are showing at the fair this year!) :-)  Pearl is a full dapple, and so are her babies. (except my buckling Puzzle.)
Puzzle is now living with velvet in their own pasture across from Nellie.
They are really spoiled, and are always wanting someone to go give them a "Carrot Popsicle" :-)
Yes. I have a recipe! Lol! :)
Puzzle is "supposed" to breed her this season, but Velvet's a big pill to the buck, and the buck is a big pill to velvet, Lol!

Recipe:

1 measuring cup, (or something to freeze it in.)
1/4 cup of water, (for each one.)
3 small carrots, (or some other vegetable that will not become soaked from the water when it is freezing)

a pop sickle stick, (I re-use mine!) :-)
some plastic rap, (for the popsickle stick to "sit" in the middle. (or aluminum foil)

First, cut the carrots into small pieces, then put them into the measuring cap with the water, stir, put the plastic rap on top, poke a hole into the plastic, then stick the "stick" in and freeze for a couple hours. Done!
(if you want to make one for yourself) You can also make lemonade pop sickles, and other interesting flavors!

Just now, I found out that a couple "Bad" coyotes got into the goat pen last night and tore up the fencing. Grrr... 
Oh well... at least they are not hurt, and i guess the goats get their own stall tonight!
:-)

New goats coming soon! :-) :-)

I am SO excited, and I have a good right to be!!! :-)
Now you are probably thinking, "Why?!" "What's going on!?"
Okay, I will tell you in just a minute, but I have a few new updates first...

So, a few days ago, I decided to sell my very loud, attacking geese to kevan, he wanted them SO bad, because he wanted to breed them and sell them like I wanted too, but It was better than selling them at the auction, because I really still like them just a little bit!
I was going to keep 1 male and 2 girls, but than I just decided that it would be better to just sell them all. SO. I sold them for $160 to kevan, and now you are REALLY probably wondering WHY I did that, Well, because I decided I wanted to buy a couple more goats, A registered Nubian buck, and a registered Alpine doe. Oh yes, did I forget the fun part? "The doe is already bred!" :-)
she is going to kid early march, So I am not in a huge rush to buy her, but the buck, yes.
I would still like to breed velvet, and buying my own buck is so much less of a hassle than taking her 3 hrs away to a Nubian dairy buck near the ocean! Yea, I was almost going to do that, but it didn't work out.

I am having a Dairy herd, because I am going to make lots of cheese, butter, Fresh pasteurized goat milk, heavy whipping cream, and maybe goat milk soap! I saw that idea from "Showers of Blessings" :-)
I really love her blog!
you can see it below,
Brooklyne 

 These are some bucks I found that interest me.
Which one do you like the best? :-)
The brown and white, or the spotted black and white?

And below, (the black and white one)
is the color of the doe I am interested in. :)

                                                                      Job 12:7-10
