My leukemia's back.

When I was a kid, we had family friends that we'd go camping with.  One summer they brought a baby raccoon that had been rescued when Mama got hit in the road.  They were raising it on a bottle.  It was the cutest little thing.  Would follow along where ever we went, and if we got too far ahead, it would start crying... fast forward to one of my earlier flocks.  A dozen mini leg horns.  A coon got into the coop one night and started killing them.  I chased it off, found it back the next day, pulling one of the 3 survivors through the fence of the run, head first.  To this day, any coon I see will be a dead one if I have any method of making it so.

Nope.  You're not bad for desiring wolves to not be in your space.  I have the same issue with foxes, coyotes and the so called non existent Mountain Lions that have been seen face to face by one neighbor, and an other neighbor has footage of.

We had the same problem here...they for years denied the existence of mountain lions...till they started getting caught on trail camera and hit by cars....I saw one once many years ago.
Want any mistaking it either.

So speaking of evil creatures......


we bought some goats today 

I'd sworn no more goats. 


Now the blackberries are taking over my pasture. 


So we're back to goats. Trying Boers this time. Nubians were too noisy. Boers are supposed to be quieter. We went with a friend and each bought a doe and a buckling. Our doe is roan colored on the body, so the owner had been calling her Roany. Our buckling isn't related to her, but Honey immediately dubbed him Maca, to go with her  . I have some not-that-great pics on my phone, I'll try to get some up later. 

They're awfully cute. 

Evil critters. 

I'd love to have a pair of Nigerian dwarf goats....

My step daughter and son in law have fainting goats. Just got the a few weeks ago. They live on border of Indiana and Michigan. Haven't got to see the new goats yet. They also raise sheep, ducks & chickens

I'd love to have a pair of goats for just a summer to clean up all the scrub and the poison ivy.

I'd actually considered that. There are some folks around here who rent out their herd just for that purpose. But I've eaten goat before and that's the plan for these animals eventually.

Good morning everyone! I hope you have some enjoyable plans for today. We're doing an employee cookout for lunch...everyone has worked so hard getting the golf course open and they've been great to work with.

Stay safe!

The fainting goats seem very fun and interesting!
Outpost, enjoy the picnic and when you are ready post the photo answer to the riddle. Meantime going to go catch a plane and praying that I remember what agency the car is rented from! Having a disconcerting senior moment...
You all have a great week, stay safe, enjoy the fishing, family and chickens, and remember to take your meds.
