Standard Poodles and Nigerian Dwarf/Miniature Goats at Caerwyn

20/12/2024

Well Christmas is nearly upon us and the goats got their present early. I arrived home today with fresh seasonal hay courtesy of Exeter Farm & Feed. The girls and their bubs didnt want to let me through the gate, so I had to break open a bale to keep them occupied.

Bella, I know you consider yourself a lapdog, but this does not pass the health and safety risk assessment.

There is only one thing to do on a cold winter’s day and that is scruff up the carpet and climb into the cat, Benji’s bed.

There is a bitter southerly blowing today but Dad still got his chainsaw out and the girls and their bubs came running. We can’t let them out in the scrub all the time as it is not suitably fenced but under supervision they can enjoy the foraging. The boys (and the 3 ancient sheep) didn’t miss out either. Given that I only have half a bale of lucerne and half a bale of hay left then this is our regular Sunday activity. Can not believe in a few years we have gone from having no goats to having 18. 🤔

No puppies but we have had 7 Nigerian Dwarf babies born in the last 7 days.
Meet twins Al and Archie (Almond and Pistachio), Mack and Hazel (Macadamia and Hazelnut) and then the triplets Wally, Coco and Cash (Walnut, Coconut and Cashew). Yes definitely a nut theme. Their dad we nicknamed Chestnut and all of these are his children!

Sage definitely has a lot to say and also likes to hog all the attention!

Don’t Impulse buy

In this day and age of online shopping, it is important to remember that adding a puppy to your family should not be treated in the same way as buying a fridge or the latest fashion items. You can expect that cute puppy to be with you for the next 10 - 15 years, so you need to seriously consider if you are truly ready for that level of commitment.

Ask yourself:

• Have you got the time to exercise and train a puppy? Your family pet needs interaction, exercise and mental stimulation every day – regardless of the weather.

• Do you have the money to properly feed and care for a puppy (and the adult dog it will grow into)?

• Can you afford to pay for preventative health care, grooming and regular health checks? What about unexpected vet bills should your puppy get sick?

• Do you have the facilities to house a puppy properly? Are you allowed to keep a pet where you live?

• Do you understand what the puppy will grow into? All puppies are super cute and adorable. Finding a breed that suits your lifestyle, activity level, and expectations can take a little time, but it increases the likelihood that your new pet will be your best friend!

It may be that now is not the right time to add a pet to your family – and that waiting until your situation changes is the best thing to do. That way, you will be able to truly enjoy all of the wonderful benefits that having a dog will bring.

Happy 2nd birthday to all of Ari’s 2022 puppies. This is Daisy who travelled a long way to find her family in Hawaii. They are all now living in California, where she has the added benefit of the extended family and grandchildren.
