yeah it realy does sound uncannily like a child screaming for "ma"
i was worried about my neighbor getting annoyed wiht the noise but he kind of likes it...says he actually gets worried when he DOESNT hear them screaming for me lol, i told him as they get older (and once i get them in a perminent much larger pen) they wont be quite as talkative, but being nubins, there will always be the occasional scream for "MAA" across the property.
Dandelion, one of the goslings had me worried last night, usually at bedtime everyone comes running, she however didnt she lay there with her head under her wing, so i pikcked her up, checked her over couldnt find anything visually wrong, becan to freek out, she was not her normal self and wa letting me pet her and hold her head and shaking.
Nothing i could do about it though so i put her to bed with food and water as normal and told whoever was listening that killing my animals was not exactly nice...or fair...
checked on her about an hour later and she was eating and having a drink so i took it as a good sign and left them be...was expecting the worse this morning, opend up the goose house slowly and out she came all full of attitude as usual so im thinking due to the heat she probable hadnt been eating normally and mabe her blood sugar dropped, once she got food in her she was fine again, but im going to have to watch that. i need to buy them an actual pool and figure out some way of hooking up a hose pipe (even if i have to attatch it to the faucet and run it out the back door to use it)
their waterbowl is big enough for them to take "a dip" but only 1 at a time so that can become the offical drinking station and ill get them a kiddy pool to splash and play in.
got another bunny interest email last night, please keep fingers crossed that this one at least results in a sale, beginning to think im going to end up putting 1/2 this litter in the freezer and id rather not with the whole money issue going on...meat is good, but right now money is better.
should have 3 going home on the 25th if i dont sell them before hand...so thats something, but ive got 8 lol.
this weeks going to be a little wacky in terms of schedualing and i think things are going to be kind of thrown off.
monday and tuesday shoudl be life as normal, wednesday will be clean the house day as normal, thursday if i can get to adamsville ill be going to adamsville mabe stopping in to hang with cindi for a bit, and then home where the "spiffy-fying" starts, mum and dad are due to arrive saturday,
I need to:
Wash the covers off the futon matresses (there 2 mtresses on my futon lol, its actualy very comfortable lol)
Wash the sheets and pillowcases. (i might try and take my duvet to a laundromat and get that washed too but well see if time allows) its a king sized duvet so i need a BIG washingmachine to handle it, it wont fit in mine.
i need to sort and straighten out the bathroom a little bit too and deep clean the sink and tub and the kitchen.
The bunny cages will get a refresh on friday, as will the goat house and the duck and goose houses. (de and a fresh layer of straw)
I need to make waterers for the duck and goose houses to i can give them water at night without them turning it into a splash fest, (im thinking PVC waterers), same with feeders, that might be a nice cheap project we can work on while dads here as i want to be able to feed and water from outside the houses so that means cutting some holes lol.
otherwise i just need to straighten things out which my house isnt large or overly messy so it shoudlnt be too bad lol.
want to try and re-weed the front bed, cant mulch it yet but least i can get it weeded, the hosta are ALL sending up flower spikes this year! (which means their happy!) yay!
and i need ot clean and top up the fishtanks before they come too.
going to be a tad insanity i think lol.
