Yay for snow? LOL

I'll bet it was flippin' fantastic to walk into that barn and be dry while you were feeding!

I wish I could have gotten pics of Cowboy and the snow - he absolutely HATED it... He wouldn't even come out of the barn until the goats did and he was growing and biting the snow...what a silly boy! The other dogs LOVED IT! Especially Gracie who was running around and acting a total idjut in it!

Lol! That's too funny, good thing he's a southern dog! Clifford was covered in snow- he was out hanging out getting snowed on. Does he not know he's a goat? Goats aren't supposed to like being wet! None of them wanted to come in the barn tonight. I think it's because the dogs were in there, and DD was being loud. They're happy and locked in now (to make sure no one gets kicked out by the queen, lol)

That barn was well timed! I can imagine it's bliss for you and the goats :) No animals here, but DS11 enjoyed the snow for awhile this morning.

My Dorking roo doesn't look so hot. He's not healing that well from the EE attacks and is moping around a lot. Going to try to get some probiotics to him and reapply some blue kote. I've not had much luck rehabilitating chickens, usually once they look bad it's too late but we'll see. Those dang birds killed a Dorking hen and now my roo looks bad. I HATE them lol

DH has to work tonight and we have to go shopping today for the last of the presents. His mom showed up unannounced this morning to ask him to do a whole bunch of stuff today, then his friend called for help with something. I'm not trying to be selfish here but when do any of these people show up to help us? It's getting a little out of control with the demands and DH is too nice to say no. I'm about ready to play mean wife and start giving them all an earful! Lol so now I'm waiting for him to get back from friend's house when I wanted to go shopping 2 hours ago!

That would tick me off too. With him working, you very pregnant and it being winter, with all the extra work that comes with it. YOU are #1 right now for his time and help. So go right ahead and be mean :hugs

He IS a good guy, but even the good ones get off track a time or two, lol. He sure is the kind of friend you'd want to have...but he needs to have more friends like himself! :)

I remember the time my first H went deer hunting to be gone for a week. I had the raging flu - a newborn and a hyper 5 year old - I was not happy with him for quite some time. :somad

He does need more friends like himself! He has friends I can call in serious emergencies (like those that require firearms lol) but good luck getting them to show up for something less dramatic.

I would be so angry! DH would never do that to me at least!
