Pink Fox: its Raining...IN MY HOUSE! :/

[pinkfox]

11:40 and still no woman for the buns...
shes got till 12 before I message the other woman interested and let her know there still available.
mabe the other person can come tomorrow and then I don't even have to worry lol
and if this first woman THEN decides she still wants some Ill put her a group together with the others ive got available.

I hate people that cant even send a quick email letting you know "running late" or "not gonna make it today" ect.
just something. *sigh*

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Happy Birthday, hope you are having a wunnerful day!

 

[pinkfox]

ended up being better than I thought.
the rabbit woman ended up showing up at 1:45 she apparently got very lost...but not only did she take the rabbits there and then, she also bought one of the baby angoras paid in full and will be back the weekend after Christmas to pick him up.

the other people interested in a breeding group have backed out for now, they are 4 hours away and are going to look a little closer to hom given the holidays coming up but if they don't find anything a little more locally they'll email me back.
told them no promises, but *shrugs*
and got another email form someone interested in one of the young male rex so *fingers crossed* on that one.

right now ive got the 2 young male rex, the male Holland and 1 male angora left to sell to get me where I want t be bunny wise.
acorn is now in with the rex girls in the colony hoping to get some litters that would be ready to go home at the end of February that would give me some moving money, any of the 3 older does that DONT breed this time around will be thinnged out, meaning less to move, all the does could then be bred just before the move and SHOULD give me buns ready for easter.

from there i met some friends for dinner, and after that hung out with some other friends...
so it ended up being a good night but i don't think i drank enough water, woke this morning with what I think is a dehydration migrane (and no there was no alcohol involved yesterday lol)
so todays plan is to be relitivly lazy, drink plenty of fluids and do not much...and its currently refusing to let go. just took 2 tylanol since fluids alone arnt helping

well least bunnies are tended to, dogs have been out, so time for some lunch and then mabe a nap.

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Glad you had a good day and so sorry about the headache.... dehydration headaches are not fun (even though some of mine are alcohol fueled, lol)
Great on moving some of the buns too.

 

[pinkfox]

thanks, the headache seemed to go away by about 3pm...
was supposed to have Skype birthday dinner with the family, but I think they either forgot or got busy or something....*shrugs*
got desert finnishing up in the oven though.
apple crumble with birds custard

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Oh my - well, if they got busy or forgot you will forever have something to hang over their heads! One year my mother forgot my birthday and she 'made up for it' for many years thereafter with lots of extra goodies!

 

[pinkfox]

lol, that would be nice...but unfortunaly not the way it works around these parts lol.
last nights "oh I fell asleep" was apparently sufficient for "sorry we missed our dinner date" *shrugs*
ill get over it lol.

last night something shorted the fence out and it was too dark for me to see, so I had to unplug for the night, this morning I need to do said fence-check.
always worries me that someone might have got in...or worse...out.
still need to give the goats hay and tend the bunnies too.
so just letting breakfast digest, didn't sit too well this morning for some reason. :/

oh and dishes and cleaning my bedroom as also on "the list" for today.

 

[pinkfox]

fence short sorted, the tweedles next door downed a small tree onto the fenceline (thankfully my fence is NOT under tension (least not enough to snap) so it just squished and once the tree was removed it sprung right back into place.
once that was done I brought down a haybale and miss Keira decided to come help...got under the OFF electric fence and played run around with the goats, the goats for the most part ignored her, the pig didn't care (she was more interested in "hey human thing, wheres my ear scritches!?") and keira did VERY well, sniffing, some playbows then realized "oh...umm im not supposed ot be in here and tried to figure out how she could get back to the backyard LMAO. she finally realized she wasn't in trouble and came over sat by me so I could show her how to get back under the fence, but ive got a feeling were going to have to have a lesson in electric lol.

once I get to mum and dads the plan is to run 4 strand electric around most of the perimeter, the back area is pretty much fully feced, though not securely in some areas, but the front has no fencing so right now the plan will be to run 4 strand electric around the front perimeter (and have dad install a power gate) then the 2 sides along the driveway will get post and rail with 2 strand inside to turn it into pastures (but pastures that the dogs and chickens/ducks can get in and out of)
the back yard that's fences will get some maintence and ill probably just run a top strand of electric along that fence to keep things form climbing over the fence (the bottom will get some welded wire in any spots the lil dogs could get though...and then the back pasture will be finished up with 4 strand against the perimeter fence and 2 strand on the front which is post and rail.
I figure if I teach keira (and eventually their new shepered pup gypsy) what the electric fence is, ill eb able to let them freely play outside on the entire property (supervised of course) without having to spend a small fortune on fencing.

right now the plan is the front side of the drive with the pond will likely be for a trio of mini cattle and eventually 2 horses.
the other side will be the orchard and a trio of mini sheep and the apiary for the bees, then the back pasture for the goats, and ppigs will get bportable pens and moved around (into the orchard for the end of harvest clean up ect)

ive got most of the livestock listed but no bites and to be honest im not sure i can let them go, wondering if sneaking them across state lines In a uhaul is feesable lol!

well see what happens as thigns get closer I guess.

but for right now buns are fed, buns goats and pig have fresh hay and the goat house has a fresh layer of bedding...
water bottles are currently thawing and will get filled and redistributed shortly...

 

[pinkfox]

well livestock may HAVE to go, just ran some quotes for a moving truck, $700-$800 for the small trucks to DIY.
I will have SOME furniture to take back and a few boxes so im not sure what ill fit where...we'll see.

 

[Denim Deb]

Wow! That's quite a bit of money. I hope if I'm ever able to move out of state, I'll just be able to load everyone up in my trailers, I'd just need to find someone else w/a truck that would be willing to haul the one. But I figure the horses in the 16 ft stock trailer, and the goats and chickens in the 2 horse bumper pull.
