A Good Nite!

All the animals are safe! Had to go back to closing all the pens and shutting them up for the night! I really didn't want to stay out all night. Though Billy, Bless his heart, Positioned his truck for that possibility and broke my hose. Crap! There goes another yard. Mark and West came by and helped walk all the geese into the house. I hate the mess but a dead duck makes a worst disaster. Did an inventory:
12 ducks
3 chickens
6 goats
2 pigs
12 geese
4 dogs
5 cats
45 ~ down from 62 at last count.
did I miss anyone? Do you want all the names too? Blew! I missed him.
Blow your horn Blew. I almost forgot you!

Coyote has come back!!!!

Found Cameo half eaten this morning, Holy crap! He is Billy's pet duck. Found right inside the pen. What a tragedy for the other animals to witness. I can’t find Penny or Hawk the rooster either. I have toured the entire yard and not a feather. They must have been carried away. My Mom wants me to spend a week in Florida watching her animals but who is going to watch mine? The coyote? I’m going to stay outside tonight and see what’s coming. Of course while I’m there, nothing will. What am I going to do?

Lost another duck ~ Morticia!

OMG! I should have known! Last night I went into the yard to let the pig go home. I often set him free during the day. He likes to wander. While out I noticed that all the geese were standing at attention. On guard. I should have known that something was wrong. Penny, gwyn, and drucilla were with them in the same stance. I remember hearing the crows yesterday. Is the coyote back?
This morning I found Morticia torn apart. I immediately suspected Bernard and went to inspect him. He looks clean but you can never be sure. I'm sad over the lose of this pretty duck and she left her friend Drucilla all alone!

Happy Thanksgiving!

This is a pic of blew. We're having him for supper and I invited Rudolph too, but the goat Rudolph decided to go back home before dinner was served. at 5pm. So it's just Blew and Billy, Norah & I. The neighbors, My good friend Bonnie and her son Sager. and all the dogs, and just Tiger the cat. The other cats aren't fond of people food. Having a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner. Thanks to Norah for coming over and help cooking and Bonnie for suppling some of the food. I just put Blew's laundry in the wash and may have time to get it on the line for that sunshine fresh scent! It is an awsome day. Hot! Sunny and bright. Got to find my shades and see if blew want to go for a walk before dinner. I'll set him a little pen in the grass. He must be confined because you wouldn't believe how fast that little sucker can go.

Blow the horn! It's a baby!

I don't have any pics but had to recall, one week ago today we found Blew. So name because he/she blew her horn and we came running. Well I didn't but my friend Noel did. She found a baby duck, Probably Gywns. Looks just like her. We caught the baby, named it and set up a comfy home in the juccuzi. Padded with a heating pad and small bowls.  I still had food from the baby geese but when I looked for it, there was less then a quart. The goat Margaret ate it, Just a little in the bottom of the bag. Enough for now. Ducks grow fast so I'll be very careful to ration it. Sure glad I finally got a pen for Margaret. It is Temp. but good for now, The house hasn't been trashed, It's so nice not to have to sweep piles of shit first thing in the morning. She seems happy because her pen was built around her favorite spot, The gazebo.
