Adorable babies Kathy. Looks like I was right on sexing them.

I love the blue girl, she's gonna be gorgeous.

Very Cute Kathy, love your little Blue girl..

Kathy, your girl has Miss Polaris coloring except with a little red. That autumn colored boy is going to be a looker!

Thanks for the support on the dog issue again! I am hoping it got loose during the storm and is just lost. I can't even deal with thinking I am again in a neighborhood where people let those dogs run loose. I am going to keep a close watch and hope it finds it's way back home and that I never find it on my deck again. My deck leads all the way around to the coops and the pastures. My little goats wouldn't stand a chance against those jaws. Makes me wonder if this dog was behind the gruesome deaths of two of a neighbor's goats recently. I understand that living in the country with livestock means dealing with predators. You have to expect wild things like raccoons, bobcats, coyotes, etc. But when it is dogs whose owners think it has the right to be on everybody's property that just makes me crazy. It also makes me a dog hater. I really worry about the explosion of pit bulls in CA. With our lax animal control, it could really become much more serious. I don't know if it is lack of funding or what but it is nearly impossible to get a response, even an answered phone call from animal control. They have the darnedest hours. A couple of hours in the morning, a couple in the afternoon and sometimes on weekdays they are closed completely. You can leave a message but no one ever returns the call. Plus, what are the odds the dog will still be there when they return the call. Since we moved out of the other house, the old coot across the road has turned the Jack Russell terriers totally loose again. They have been on our property every single time we have been out there. That, coupled with the barking from the pit bull breeder's house, really makes my house appealing to buyers! I am so sick of dogs.

You are much more tolerant than I am. In the small town I am from, in Iowa, the city council made it a law - NO pit bulls. Made most everyone very very happy. Where I am now, the town allows them and they sell like crazy around here. If I ever see one near my property I will kill it.

 

[The Sheriff]

That will never happen here in CA. There are neighborhoods in Sacramento where there are one or two pit bulls in every yard. The solution is simple. If you own a dog or any other animal for that matter, confine it to YOUR property! Well, except for little black and yellow chickens, if you get my drift. It's her thread after all.

Here's my excitement for the day. A truck took out the telephone pole on the corner of our property and then traveled all the way until it hit our house. Took out: front fence, side yard fence and gate, one fruit tree, my mother's day rosebush from a few years ago, coldbox/greenhouse box, and the rock flowerbed. Plus minor damage to the house. He was going WAY too fast (our street connects the highway and a major street, and even though the speed limit is 30, BIG trucks often take it at 50 or more), and there may have been drugs or alcohol involved. Luckily (for us anyway LOL) he was in a company vehicle and they are bending over backward to take care of this, and MOST luckily none of my kids were out playing in the yard at the time. The truck ended up right where the kids' playground is usually at. I think he backed off the flowerbed thinking he would drive away, but luckily I heard it and ran out to see what the commotion was. Besides, he had our chain link fence wrapped around his tires. He wasn't going anywhere but the police escort for a drug test.

Good thing you were home at the time or he may have gotten away!
