Fur and feathers

Good thing we really like our critters, because most of our daily chores revolve around them!




The goats are getting practice mowing Sammy's yard. Even though it's mostly dry grass right now, there is enough live mustard, dandelions, sheep sorrel and other weeds to keep them occupied for hours. (Yes, invasive species police, I know the plant above is Crocosmia, but Matt likes it and it's contained in a planter...)
Last week we managed to make it through their first hoof trimming. They're not too patient about it, but at least they are tame - and small.


Luckily, Sammy's pretty calm during haircuts and nail trimming.

We've joked that it would be fun to "shear" him and make a sweater to sell to someone (as really soft wool), who would smell wet dog when they wore it in the rain. :)


Chicken whispering.

  1. You have such an expression of contentment on your face...What did the chicken tell you?
