Puppy update! 3 1/2 weeks old, they got their first puppy mush today, and they are so cute! Already showing guard tendencies (barking when doors open, etc) and growing like weeds! I wish I could keep them all, but sadly, at least 9 of them will be guarding other pastures in a couple months. They are 66.5% Anatolian Shepherd, 32.75% Great Pyrenees, and 0.75% Akbash... that equals 100% amazing genetics for a livestock guardian! Short hair, so low grooming, but still thick, so able to keep themselves warm on the job! Working lines, working parents. I am accepting deposits!
Chip's Social Visit
Just a quick video for those of you that think Shetlands, or sheep in general, aren't friendly. This little girl is being 100% dam raised. We spend a lot of time with them, and it doesn't hurt that both of her parents are very loving, as well.

Momma Muscovy brought the babies to visit!
This momma Muscovy duck has been keeping her babies well away from the barnyard and the main flock, but this morning she decided to share them with us! Also, it occurs to me that Momma duck might need a real name... Any suggestions?
Miss Mollie's baby kicks!
Woo! Look at those baby kicks! Miss Mollie didn't kid when everyone else did in April, but she's getting close now! Anyone want to take a guess on what she'll give us? First person to guess correctly will win a prize!

Baby bunny update!
Our Barn Rabbit
Last year, this little girl bunny almost didn't make it. I was ready to give up on her, but Brailyn wasn't, and I caved. As part of a last ditch effort, I turned her loose in the barnyard. (we did not just leave her to fend for herself... She has always had full access to the barns, hay, and feed)
Today, we caught her laying on top of and grooming the pregnant mommas in the barn, and decided she has reached a point where she needs a name. Brailyn suggested Alice, like Alice in Wonderland, because she goes down the rabbit hole. So... Meet Alice! I have a feeling she is going to have many adventures to share!
