Big puppies

Here are some pics of the puppies some of you were asking for. This first one is Jake. Jake is the best puppy. At dinner time he just lays near his bowl and waits for me to come and hook him up to the leash. He is very calm.

The next pic is of DeeDee. She is also a very good puppy, not quite as laid back as Jake, but still pretty good. She will follow us around and during mealtime will follow me while I get everyone ready and then calmly waits to be fed herself.


The last puppy is Taco. Oh Taco. Right now this pup is the bane of our ranching existance. He is the reason for all of the scratched legs and arms you will see around here right now. He is very hyper and NOT laid back at all. He cannot lay still to save his life. I am working with him on not jumping and being a little calmer during mealtimes, but boy is he testing me. He has the sharpest dang claws too. He caught me off guard tonight during chores and I about kicked him accross the yard, (sorry Grandma, I really didn't mean to).

Pups

We sold another female pup today. One male, one female left. Fran, my local goat mentor, may be interested in the female. I picked her out the best one and only let these last people pick from one female and the male. Lala has an appointment to get spayed July 30th. I would get the puppies done too but they have to be 3 months old. I would also get JD fixed, but he freaks out when I try to get him to go anywhere with me. I think Stef would have to carry him.

Stef's dog is named DD. It stands for Dad's Dog or as Niko says,"Dum Dum".

Puppies

One more down, 3 to go!! Tell your friends! BTW, Niko is not keeping Covert. He changed to a different puppy and named him Taco. It is actually some my fault. I liked Taco and asked if either if them would be willing to switch.

Pups

One more puppy down, 2 females and 2 males to go. Tell your friends!!

Pup Update

We have sold 2 puppies. We still have 3 females and 2 males to get gone now. Tell your friends!!!

Puppies

Yesterday I gave 10 puppies 10 baths. It took me 5 hours! They are officially for sale now. We will see how it goes. We are apparently keeping 3. Deklan picked out a girl and named her Suzy. Niko picked a boy and named him Covert. Stef's pick isn't named yet but she's a girl.

Hungry Puppies

I'm going to try a movie of Lala feeding 10 babies. Let me know if it is too difficult to watch (download).

Every time she eats the puppies go crazy on her.

Bigger pups

Here are the puppies again. They are a little over 2 weeks old now and most have their eyes open though they are all squinty.

Lala has moved them 3 times between the kidding pens. I think she has finally settled on a place now. She is in the kidding pen and has dug out a cave under the stored hay bales on the other side of the pen. In the heat of the day they can stay nice and cool in there. Although, they are usually scattered all around the pen. It looks like a puppy masacre. I still make sure everyone is breathing when I go to check on them.


We still haven't decided on how many we are going to keep.

Puppies

There are 10, not 11. 6 boys and 4 girls. Stef was so happy today. Said this is the first time he was really excited with the homesteading stuff. He has always wanted a whole gang of big, rough Great Pyrenees. He also says he wants to keep 4 or 5 of them! I don't know about that. We have quite a few weeks before we have to decide.

Puppies!

Lala had puppies sometime in the night! I think there are 11 of them!
