The snow is leaving

Last weekend we had snow and everything was white. It was wet and sloppy out too. The weather is not very warm out but warm enough for the snow to melt. Today is windy so it feels cold out. I will probably shovel off the deck.

Cute little Nikki dog is happy the snow is leaving. Toodles does not like to piddle in tummy deep snow. We can go into town without worrying about slippery roads.

It is still cold enough to freeze the waters in the barn, but it is easier to do chores with out big boots, hats and gloves. My cutest baby goat Eeyore will go out later and he will be happier because he can find grass.

My brother has basketball tomorrow morning so we will probably have snow tonight or at least have an ice storm.

The animals!

We have a lot of animals. I will tell you their name and about them. We have seven chickens. The names of the chickens are Carmel, Paige, Bellina, Black chicken (rooster), Wooten (rooster), and Non Speckly ( she is called that because we had a chicken named Speckly and got them confused). The chickens really like cat food, so when they are out of the coop they are on the porch at least once a day. Bunnies we have are... Runtiedunt who is white, Razor who has short fur and big ears and is brown and white , Brina who is brown and black and really poofy, Dawn who is black, Scott who has orange fur with some black flecks in it, Ear and a half who is brown, black, and poofy, and then two who don't have names. One is all white and the other is white and gray. We have six goats. Eeyore, my little goat, gets candy and rabbit food, Millie(mother) and Desdemona (daughter) a mother/daughter duo. Desdemona is all white with horns, Millie is some times white and some times brown it all depends and does not have horns. Calliope, she is white with black spots and horns, is Charlie's mom. Charlie is white and doesn't have horns and he really likes treats. Klaus is white with big horns and is our main buck. We also have three cats Kacheekers, who is black and white, Raggles, our new cat who is gray and brown, and Vidalia, who is very mean to the new cat Raggles. Then, we have our little cute Nikki, the little fox terrier, who likes snacks and sleeping under afghans.

Snow

Snow! It snowed on Friday till Saturday at our house. There is just enough to make everything white. We even had to shovel the drive way and put the car in the garage. We had to get out Nikki's' winter coat to put on her when we take her outside. We were going to put her booties on her but we could not find them. When Eeyore went out on Friday he looked like he was very confused by the snow and why he didn't have any grass to eat. We had just finished putting up the plastic on the porch for the winter, what perfect timing! Some bad things about the snow are the goat and rabbit waters are frozen and Nikki does not like going out in the cold. Some good things about the snow is that it means Christmas is getting closer. I like winter because it is not boiling hot out, but I also do not like it because it is really cold and waters freeze.

Wednesday

This morning for breakfast I had a tortilla with sausage, egg, cheese, and sour cream on it. After breakfast I did three chapters of math. I went out and helped with the barn chores and saw Eeyore. Then I checked my grammar and did a couple of pages from that book.

Eeyore was all crazy today. He would start jumping and flipping around all crazy every time another goat sneezed or did anything. He also would butt the fence post until we would give him pets and talk to him. When we stopped he would start butting again.

I have had a cold since Saturday and have been sneezing, coughing, and blowing my nose all day.

We had AWANA tonight 6:30 to 8:00. Then we came home and now I'm writing this Blog post.

Eeyore Bubby

My goat Eeyore is two years old. He is so cute and cuddly and he will give you kisses. He likes to sit on laps, even though he is too big. His body is gray with a brown line down his back, his head is also gray with white eye brows. Eeyore has his own house in the barn made out of pallets. He is very good at getting out and breaking it. His feeder is an old recycle bin. It's full of hay because he likes to lay in the feeder. He has seizures every once in a while so he has three candies in the morning, three at night, and has a scoop of rabbit food twice a day (I put it on top of his hay so he eats his hay too!) Yesterday night, my Dad and I were bringing in a bale of hay and he stood in his feeder, jumped up on his wall and hopped down on the other side so he was out in the barn. He goes out in the corral almost every day. He actually likes to graze and some days he likes to butt the the fence post. I can go out and talk to him and when I go back in he'll already be butting the post again. We say that he is teaching that post a lesson and it is slow learner.

Eeyore!

It was hard to take his picture because he wouldn't stay still!

Eeyore is my little goat. He is gray, brown, white and very cute. He goes outside almost every day. His house is made of pallets that we nailed together. Some days he is out of his house when we come out in the morning. Last week he broke out of his house twice, the first time he just knocked offthe door, a few days later he just opened it up like a set of double doors! Here is what it looks like from the outside.

And this is how it looks from the inside

Eeyore.

Eeyore is my little goat from this springs babys. We have been walking around the yard this week and Eeyore will come out and walk with us around the yard. He walks much better with us then the dog Nikki.
