2 of my pets gone :(


One of my cats disappeared. We think a fox or something like that got her. It was not like her to leave. AT ALL. We had Muffy for 4-5 years. Bam Gone

And this morning Brian found one of my other cats who I cherished and loved killed by a car. Baby she was an all black cat. It was not like her to go in the road. I think Buddy one of our dogs chased her. I do not have a picture of her. She will be missed terribly. If its not one thing, its another.
I am starting to feel that once all my animals are gone, I am not sure I ever want to own anymore. I can't handle the heartbreak of losing them. It hurts to much.

New Baby


Say hello to our new buck.. he is a sweetheart. His name is Opie.

I bottle feed Opie 4-5 times a day. Milking the goat 2 times a day. From 5 am to 5 pm. I feel like a new mom and am tired. But he is so cute. He runs to me when I say his name. He is almost a week old.

Birds


So we thought they were all female Mallards...one is not apparently..Its molting and its colors are changing!! HOW COOL IS THAT?Anyone want a Mallard duck when they have babies?


If you look closer you can see baby chicks eating and drinking with one of our bunnies. They get along great.


Babies and momma outside for the first time together. So fun to watch!!


EDITED June 26th
This morning I found mom with a bunch of feathers missing and her baby chicks all gone. We are not sure if we have a weasel or a fox but whatever it is has been eating our eggs and some of my mom's chicks, pulling them through a whole. Not sure if its the same animal as the one doing it to my mom's chickens or not. Whatever it is only goes after the babies and eggs.

Beauty of Spring





The beauty of Spring is here. Above is a close up the tree we have in our yard. The far away shot does not do justice for this tree of what you actually see in person!!! BEAUTIFUL!

Fishing



We had fun fishing this week-end. It was perfect fishing weather. We also went swimming in the Calapooia River but I did not take a camera when we went there. I wanted to get wet too ") It is so beautiful here in the spring/summer
