The puppies are 4 weeks old!

The puppies are getting so big and FlUFFY! We are loving every second of getting to know their little personalities better. They are starting to learn that they would much rather be out of their pen then in it. We are starting to introduce them to puppy food. They really want to enjoy it but their teeth are still not quite strong enough for that, so they just lick it. 

Bayou... This little guy is such a sweetheart. He loves to be laying right next to you and he loves it even more when you give him a little scratch!

Old Dan... Dan is probably one of our more spunky puppies. He loves to lay by you, once he's made sure he knows what everyone else is doing, and if the rest of the farm is looking safe ;)

Della... Now this little girl is definitely the most spunky, funny charactered puppy we have. She is the puppy that we really have to keep an eye out for because she doesn't stop moving. Her favorite thing to do is wake her siblings up when they are taking a nap... because naps are no fun right!? There is one time that we can find this little girl sitting down and thats when we pull out the camera. She's quite the supermodel for the camera :)

Dixie Lee.... Most of the time you can find Dixie playing with her siblings or she's laying as close as she can get to you. She loves attention (like all puppies do).

Mater... This little guy is defiantly a pleaser. He will do anything that makes you happy. He loves to be laying down right where you can see him and give him a nice rub. He also loves to be held and given attention. Along with having such a sweet personality he is very photogenic!

Clarice... Clarice, Clarice wheres Clarice? This is our one puppy that can usually scare us because we can't find her. We have found out that when we can't find her she is in the back of her dog house sleeping. Clarice loves to be out with us, but not for to long because then beauty sleep calls. There are times when she can have a little more spunk, and its super cute. Because she wants to play with you but not to rough because she doesn't want to hurt you. 

We can see the world!

The puppies eyes are offically open, and they are loving it. It makes taking pictures of them a little bit harder, because they'd rather be playing. Its fun to watch them start getting their little personalities.

LeDoux and Clarice!

LeDoux's not to sure whether he should be scared of these little fur balls, or if he should lay with them. 

The puppies are 2 weeks old!

The puppies eyes are finally starting to open! Clarice and Della are the first ones with their eyes open.  They are starting to see how fun it is to move around and not stay right by mama!:)

Puppies!

The puppies are finally here and are all healthy! Angel is an amazing mom and is taking very good care of all her puppies. We are so excited and can't wait to see all of their little personalities. We decided "Redneck" names would be fun for now :) And we all had fun chosing a name.

Come on puppies we're wating for you:)

This is Angels "can these puppies please come faster" face. We are all getting very anxious and exctied for Angel to have her puppies.

Norman is so handsome!

Since I have yet to post anything about this handsome guy, I thought I better;) This is Norman, he has the sweetest, funniest personality ever. I'm pretty sure he finds me crazy because I always talk to him but he's just so friendly that I can't pass up the oppertunity:) 

Angels starting to show her little puppy belly!

We are getting super excited for Angel to have her puppies.

Newest member of our furry friends! (aka our newest family member)

Whats funner than getting a new baby animal to add to your family? Oh yeah, Nothing! This is Thumper, she is so sweet, friendly, oh and FLUFFY! Tom ( the turkey) has really enjoyed her company. :)

                                                                              

Baby Bunnies

One of our favorite things about spring on the farm is the baby animals. Theres nothing more fun then these furry little bunnies. From hopping around to just cuddling they sure have been fun. They are now 4 weeks old.

Thanks for Stopping by

Thanks for checking in on our little piece of Heaven.

Where we believe it truly is that. Here we love having a little farm where my family and I can have the chance to dabble in a little bit of this and a little bit of that. From chickens to kittens, rabbits to goats we love it all.

 We are able to  teach our kids responsibility, share the chores, learn new lessons along the way and enjoy what we love most...animals!

We love our goats! We have had Nubians for the past 14 years. We bottle feed the baby goats and milk there mamas. We take pride in the quality of our goats and milk. And are always excited for what goat kids spring will bring.

We have 3 beautiful Australian Shepherds whom we love and find so much joy in being a regular part of our family.  Our male LeDoux and female Angel are sure to bring some cute, fun, lovable, puppies for others to enjoy. Liz (our other female) finds joy in being fixed but mothering all other animals around.

Thanks for stopping by and checking us out. Please let me know if i can answer any questions you may have :)

We decided to give them names of old western outlaws. Kev was quiet impressed that i knew so many ;)

"Black Jack"

"Butch Cassidy"

"Jules"

Hoodoo and Jules

"Hoodoo"

"Sundance Kid"

"Frisco"

"Belle Star"

"Josie"

"Jesse"

Liz had her puppies!

Liz finally had her puppies! We were all so super excited! My kids even ran right by the Easter bunnies surprises right out with Kev and I to find Liz in active labor. she had 9 puppies by 10 am. 5 males and 4 females.
These pictures are the puppies at almost 2 weeks.

Bitter sweet...

Well all the goat kids are gone. I am so happy to see them go to new homes but sad the 8 week adventure is over. My 5 kiddos may say different though. You finally get to that point where being done is a good thing and bottles become your enemy :) I can only hope that the people who bought my goat kids will have as much fun and enjoy them like we do.

They are now 8 weeks old...

I have been very happy with this years kidding. Two Does have already left us and i am excited they wont be to far to see what they will produce in the future with there kids to come.
(Bottom 2 does are skittles. Great size.)

This here is my only buck this year. I am VERY happy with his size and pendulous ears. His markings are light yet striking.

These last 2 does are very beautiful in markings and i am sure will turn out to be great does.

All Kids were born healthy and are all doing well. We bottle feed our kids to prevent CAE. All milk is pasturized then fed to the kids. They are now 2 weeks old and have been de-horned as of 3/12.

I have a CAE/CL tested (Caprine Arthritis Encephelitis, Caseous Lymphadenitis) herd. I decided to test my goats to have as clean & disease free herd that i could possibly have. Both these diseases are very severe if your goat ever come in contact to get them.

Ivory Sage Stormy's does are $150 and her buck is $200. Stormy is ADGA Registered and papered. She produces about a gallon a day. Sire Rock Solid Granite.
