[AlpacaTalk] Re: How is everyone's week so far?
<<< Now on to cleaning out my manure vac. When it isnt caked up with
alpaca poop, it SUCKS!!! Best $250 I ever spent!! :) >>>
Missed this digest somehow, hope you're back 100% by now Heather.
Things moving along well here. The rains finally stopped and now we are
just entrenched in the hot muggy GA summers - ugh. Hosing down the
alpacas at least once a day and filling the pool for the ducks and the
one alpaca that likes to lay in it - much to the ducks' chagrin. Have 2
broody hens, 2 baby chicks born on Sat, now just waiting for the rest.
Had a broody guinea sitting on 28 eggs - outside protected area in the
raspberry brambles. After about a week I couldn't take the worry
anymore and decided to move her and her clutch to the protected area
inside the fence as I continue to hear coyotes close around at night.
Unfortunately that broke her "broodiness" and she abandoned the eggs
:-(. so very sad about that.
Have decided to go ahead and get the Pyr puppy; should be coming home
in a few weeks. I am not happy about starting a puppy when I have a
not yet 3yo dd. Got my current german shepard when 11yo dd was 2. Have
always said that was the epitome of insanity and now here I am doing it
again, sigh. But my boy is getting on up there and we *must* have a
protection dog out here alone, just me and the 2 girls. Not only
coyotes, but meth idiots abound in these parts. A neighbor just had an
incident not long ago, sitting on his porch one night, a guy pulled up,
got out of his car, walked up to him like he was going to ask a
questions, then pulled a gun and pointed it at him and demanded his
wallet. My neighbor calmly said ok, reached towards his back pocket and
whipped around a sawed off shotgun he just happened to have behind him
sitting out there on his porch late at night. Now I don't know about
you guys, but I don't generally think to take my gun with me when I go
to sit on my porch at night! Just my beautiful, wonderful, massive
german shepard <g>. Realized when I was being told about this incident
that my Sammy boy only has another good year, possibly two and I'd best
get started with his replacement pronto :-(.
OK, Jim, I've never heard of a manure vac - more info please :-).
Warmly, Janice
