Since we aren't doing TMT until after Christmas I thought I would try to keep up with updating my blog on Thursdays anyway. Its week one so we will see how I do :)
There are some changes at the farm. This spring/summer my 2 first dogs went over the bridge to be free of pain and suffering. Emma passed when her bone cancer got too bad to bear and Oliver passed unexpectedly from hermangiosarcoma. It was a sad time with both of them going but I will say I know they are no longer in pain and will be waiting at the bridge for me when it is my time.
So I was down to 4 dogs of my own Jen, Dutch, Duke and Spottie. Spottie will be 14 on Monday and recently had a stroke type event so I'm not sure how much longer she will be with us either. She is enjoying her newfound freedom in the house, at least in her old age she is somewhat trustworthy! There are a few dogs at my house on trial. We will see how they work out in the end but for now I have a trio of tri's.
I'm trying something new with myself. I typically shy away from people, I don't like people, don't like people in my business and would prefer to be alone. But for 1 month I am going to try to be outgoing and meet new people. It is going to be a BIG stretch for me but I figure anything that doesn't kill us makes us stronger. If I don't die from this maybe I will be a stronger person when it is all over?
Oh and I need to update on my survivor sheep. Buddy is doing well, his wounds have healed and he is his typical goofy self again. Dot still has a ear that sort of hangs, she can move it but its just a big "different" now. She also appears to be pregnant. That means that my st. croix ram that died in the attack may be able to live on through her lambs, lets hope she's pregnant and not just super over weight! And poor Friendly is still chugging along. The wounds behind his ears have almost healed and hopefully the very slow healing wounds inside his mouth will continue to heal as well. I will try to update with some pics in the near future!
On the Road!
