Frustratedearthmother's Journaling Journey

Nice! I’m sort of an enabler but I’m sort of a downsizing enabler too, because I know having too much on your plate makes it difficult to stay on top of all your animals, and your own health.. any any semblance of sanity that remains for farmers been there… now I don’t have pigs and life is much better

I couldn't agree more. I'm a minimalist but my brain short circuits when I see goats. or baby animals.

Me toooooo. I’ll say it here and you all can hold me to it- I’m not buying any sheep this year! Even if they are cute which, obviously, they are.

I knew I'd feel guilty if I kept 11 doelings so this is my way of enabling myself to keep maybe a couple more than I'd actually originally planned to. (did that make sense?) However, after picking up these two babies and feeling how solid and heavy they are I'm kinda wishing I hadn't listed them with their mama - but they're too young to separate. This buckling is a good herd sire prospect - he's only 20 days old and he is a hunk! See how I already regret it...

See, this is why I won’t say congrats until they leave

Wait! Let me write this down somewhere! Where's a stone and my etching tools?

I didn’t say I wouldn’t get another dog just no new sheep. I don’t need another ram until next year.

I want to raise a puppy. I'm not ready, but the WANT is there!

I’m not ready either but my friend is having a possibly one time litter and I don’t know if I can turn the opportunity down
