A Valentine's Day Love Story

It's that time of year again around here - when the animals start having little animals. There's a lot going on around here and I'll tell it all in 'doses' (since that's my new theme), and this is the story of the week:

Meet Ned the Pygmy Billy Goat:
He's in love with Shirley his lady and they are going to have a baby, or two, or three or maybe even four (depending...since goats are notorious for this):

Unfortunately for Ned, this guy is also in love with Shirley and won't let Ned near her anymore:

Poor Lucy the Gander lost his lady this winter after she was attacked by The Turkey (who will be making his way to a dinner table in the near future). As spring is fast approaching, Lucy has some misplaced sexual frustrations. Obviously.

See him making sure Ned keeps his distance? Poor Ned. The good thing is that I have these in the brooder right now for Lucy:

Two beautiful, swan-necked white Chinese females (right now they're just cute and fuzzy). He can start his own harem as soon as they grow some feathers and are big enough to be put outside without freezing.

So that was the Valentine's day love story on my place since I was left home alone and didn't even get a card. I bought myself a box of truffles. They were good.

cute cute cute babies!!! what fun!! I love little bably animals!!

I was just catching up on your blog! My computer has died and I won't get it back for a week. :( I am using my FIL's computer!!

I am so sorry about the drama with the ex and with the inlaws. I can tell you that it never goes away, and it doens't ever get easier. I deal with it everday. My son spends the entire summer in Ohio with his dad, court ordered!! I hate it.

I also have spent around 20,000 dollars in lawyer and court fees just trying to get things all situated with visitation. It's a mess for everyone involved. Just breathe.

When kids act out in school, it's becaue they are hurting inside and don't know what to do. Just keep loving her and telling her she is wonderful and don't even ever mention the ex. And if she comes up in converstaion, the only say nice things. It will work out!!

One more thing I wanted to mention is to do a search on ebay for a maternity lot on your size. If you don't mind wearing slightly used clothes, you can get a huge wardrobe for a minimal price. I love ebay for that.
