Eight Weeks Old!

By
The puppies are eight weeks old as of Saturday.  I couldn't do a post that day because we were at church almost the whole day for a wedding and  helping to clean-up afterwards.  This morning I let the puppies out for some exercise, but I think it was not very good timing, as William and Justice (my 8 and 6 year old brothers) were hanging out laundry, and the puppies very quickly discovered how much fun it was to steal some small article, and run off triumphantly with it to go play tug-of-war with his or her siblings.  Of course, my brothers enjoyed chasing puppies with the laundry much more than hanging it out, even though Justice was shouting that "the puppies are stealing!  The puppies are thieves, the puppies are thieves!"  (Star was the worst about taking the laundry, and they all had a great time pulling it in different directions.)  Savana came out and took these pictures for me shortly after the laundry-stealing ceased.  (She says they are horrible, but they are much better than what I would have gotten with the phone, so I'm posting most of them anyway.  :) )
Enjoy!

She is so adorable and super sweet (but they all are!)

Little Miss Energy!  (Usually known as Star  :)


 They were hilarious with this truck.  They were rolling it around on the cement pad, and eventually picked it up and started wrestling for it.  It was so funny to watch them!


Bosco.

Star and Bosco.

Running around is thirsty work!

And convenient bins of water are very welcome (never mind the plant in the water!)


Jaxon.

Star on top, and I think Angel on the bottom.

Or is it Bosco?  ((It can be hard to tell in the photos sometimes!)

They love their chew toys!

Selah and Star.




(They are under a thick cedar tree, and that is why this picture is so dark.)

They loved this sock...

Some of their ill-gotten gains from the laundry- stealing a few minutes before!

The sock was originally Emaline's (age 5), but I think it will be for LilyAnn (age 10) now!


Selah got it temporarily.



Star and Charlie.
I hope you enjoyed these pictures as much as I enjoyed the puppies this morning!

Marvelous Seeds- Natural Dewormer for Dogs and Others

By
Naturally de-worming animals can be challenging, and some people will say that you are just better off going with the chemicals.  There are several problems with chemical wormers however.  You see, a chemical wormer is actually a poison, which is fed to the animal in large enough doses to kill, or expel the worms, but in small enough amounts that it hopefully will not injure the animal.  Trouble is, worms have an ability to build up resistance to the chemical poisons used in these wormers.  For example:  A few years ago, when I first started with dairy goats, I had major trouble with worms.  In fact, I lost quite a few goats to them.  I tried using the chemical wormers- SafeGuard (at 4 times the dosage for horses, for 3 days straight), and Ivermectin.  The goats' hair remained curly (a sign of a heavy worm load), and their gums and eyelids were pale.  Finally, most of them died- including three beautiful purebred, registrable Nubians.  I was heartbroken.      Several years later,

Natural cure (and prevention) for foot rot in goats and other animals

By
Several years ago, I began learning about the benefits of copper as a supplement.  I learned that it is actually a necessary mineral for goats, cows and sheep, and is best absorbed in sulphate form.      What prompted the research was a case of foot rot in one of my goats.  I was unaware that it was foot rot until someone diagnosed it for me over the phone.  I had noticed that his foot had been swollen for a couple days, but didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that a bug might have bitten or stung him.  After about three days from the time that I initially noticed the swelling he was limping badly.  I mentioned this to a man who was interested in buying him, and he said that it might be foot rot.  He said to check and see if it smelled bad, and that if so, it was probably foot rot.      I checked, and sure enough there was a strong putrid smell to it.  So I started researching  a natural, and speedy, cure for foot rot online.  There was very little information to be found
