You know, the thought of having goats and llamas is always a great thought ... in SUMMER! But, winter is a horrible time to have animals. Well, it's horrible if mud isn't your favorite color, if urine isn't your favorite smell and if wet isn't your most comfortable clothing!
We spent the day cleaning out the goat girls' housing. This was done last week, too. And we went to a lot of work trying to figure out the BEST materials to put down to keep them warm and dry ... and I thought we had finally found it ... but that was Thursday! By today, the area was wet and smelled ... so it's time to keep trying.
We had used Stall Dry last week - this week we went with something called Sweet PDZ. The folks at Airport Garden Center in Port Angeles recommended that we try this, so we decided that we'd see if it worked. Hopefully it's better than the Stall Dry.
Oh, and of course, there's the continual waiting. I would have sworn that we would have kids by now ... but that will teach me to swear. But, for all the time that we spend waiting, we're spending it reading up on all the things that we didn't know that we're pretty sure we should know, and really hoping we won't need to know. You know, the "problem" deliveries.
In all of our travels we decided it would be a good idea to pick up some nipples (somebody said that every kid has their own preference, so we got 3 of them) from Clallam Co-op / True Value Hardware. The folks here are so helpful when it comes to finding things - and if they don't have it, most of the time they are more than willing to do some research on the product to see if it's something they can carry. THIS is great customer service!
Okay, so it's back to baby watch!
