New Routine

There is a new routine at night and in the morning. Ronnie and I had to make sure there was no way Louie could get out of the pen, so we had to move things in front of some openings. Well, those openings are where Tina got in and out of the pen. She sleeps in the pen with Prada and Louie, so Ronnie and I are having to let her in and out of the pen at night and in the mornings. Sometimes it is easier than others. Some days I have to corral Louie and Prada and get Tina in all at once and it seems more like a rodeo. Those are the days I need a YouTube channel because it may be annoying to me, it would be hilarious to watch for someone else. 


Prada

I was concerned Prada was not going to do this whole mom thing to well, but she really is. She is doing really well. She is attentive and loving. She is doing all the things right and is not acting like she is annoyed at all. That might change, but we will see. So far, she is doing amazing. Things might have been rough for the first day or two, but she has got it down now. 


Tina and Craig

Tina and Craig are still hanging out together all day. Not only does Tina have a bond with Prada, but she has a bond with Craig. Those two got here about the same time and decided to be friends right off. Craig was bullied, too, believe it or not. That did not last long, but it did happen. Introductions of animals is hard, just like humans in some cases. Territorial is more like it. I am glad they have each other. 


A Fan

Who would have known that this baby goat would have been such a little cutie? It has been so hot outside, Ronnie went a bought a fan for him and Prada. This baby is going to be so spoiled, but right now, Louie needs that fan. He keeps getting into the corner of the shelter where he was born and it is too hot for all of that. Ronnie had to take part of the shelter off because he continued to get into the corner. I was concerned he would get too hot back there, so now they have a fan. Can we say spoiled already? 




Pete

Well, Pete is sore from his trim. He was lying down out in the pasture with the other donkeys around him. I know his feet were bad and we have been unsuccessful with keeping a farrier here consistently, but I think that is going to change. I know he is sore, but it will go away. His feet have to feel better than they did. He will just be sore for a bit. 


The Pigs

I have not mentioned the pigs lately. They are all doing well. I went and cooled them down with some water and redid some of their sun shades so they would have them. it is so hot outside. They are all starting to shed which seems late in the year to me since it has already been hot outside. I did give some belly rub and loved on the pigs. I know they are hot, but they do have their mud holes, so they will be okay. 







Snake Skin

I had been having weird feelings around the trash can for a bit. I never did see anything, but every time I went to the trash can, I wanted to run away from it. I felt so dumb acting like that and never could put my finger on why I was acting like that. Well, I went out and that feeling was gone, but there was a snake skin right behind the trash can. I guess that explains the feelings I was having. That sure is interesting.
