Teeth

I have been asked to post a picture of Margaux's teeth. Well, I have to tell you... getting her to show her teeth is dang near impossible. She will either refuse to open her mouth or stick her tongue out over them so you can't see. They only way to get a good glimpse is to maker her smile. That she has no problem with.

Update on Doggie: Well, Doggie stayed in our pen for a few days just to make sure he was doing better. However, he would howl day and night. When he showed up he had a collar on but with no id and when he would come around we'd try to feed him, but he wasn't hungry. After day two of howling I had the thought that Doggie had a home near by that he was used to returning to and I was keeping him from it. So we let him out. He played for a few minutes with us and then made a beeline down the hill. He returned last week for a day, but I haven't seen him for awhile. Hopefully he is home, with his family and they have decided to put up some sort of containment device for him.

Doggie (and Japan) need your help!

This is Doggie!

Doggie needs your help. He showed up at my house last week, and has been making the rounds between mine and two of my neighbors houses. He’s super sweet and we have been waiting for someone to come and claim him. He has a collar but it doesn’t have any information.

Monday March 14^th, while hanging out on our front porch, Doggie was attacked by a pit bull at our front door. My husband just happen to be home from school for spring break, heard the noise, and clubbed the pit bull over the head until he let go of Doggie. Literally this happened right outside our front door.

Doggie is okay, he’s doing just fine and doesn’t seem to be too sore from what happened. However he still needs help. He needs a home. Matthew and I don’t plan on keeping him, however we are trying to keep him safe in our pen for the time being. We want him to have a good home, this is where I’m asking you or anyone you know, if they may be interested in loving Doggie full time.

Here are things you need to know about Doggie:

He is super sweet!

Doggie is a Chocolate Lab.

He appears to be house broken. He stayed in our shed all night and there was no presents. As soon as we let him out in the a.m. he did his business.

He also did not chew up a single thing in our shed! Our previous lab would have chewed up everything in sight if we had left her alone. Our neighbor confirmed that Doggie did not chew up anything in her garage.

Doggie will sit on command.

Doggie seems to understand the dangers of vehicles. Another thing our lab had issues with.

Doggie does not play fetch… yet. Maybe you could teach him.

Doggie seems to really like other dogs.

Doggie is a male and it appears he has his bits and pieces.

Did I mention Doggie is super sweet!

If you, or anyone you know is interested in taking Doggie in let me know. Feel free to forward this information to other friends.

Thanks, Shelby, Matt, Margaux and Doggie

How Clever!

My's new necklace that Margaux's Grandmamma gave me after seeing Margaux grab and try to chew my's pearls. How clever! I thought it was a stone, but it is actually a silicone ring. I plan to replace the nylon cord with something else.Margaux approves!
Hopefully she won't choke me out!

March- in like a lamb!

It’s been awhile, but we haven’t had too much going on around our house. Margaux has begun coming to the office with me a bit more lately, maybe once a week on a day that is slow. She does really well, I think she misses all the toys she has at home, but we make due. Her little tooth is showing more and more everyday, and she has a lot of new friends that have been born recently, and more on the way in the next few months.

Matt is working really hard lately and doesn’t get home till after she has gone to bed most nights of the week. It’s pretty tough on him, but we are definitely able to put back some money.

I recently took a knitting class with some girlfriends for a monthly girls’ night. It was fun. I’m attempting to complete my scarf. At this rate it may be finished by next winter. I’m going to keep at it though. The knitting teachers found our group to be quite funny. We picked and joked the whole time, and had a blast. We've all decided we are going to have wonderfully jacked up scarves next winter.

We have added 2 more ewes and their twins (yes 4 lambs) to our flock of sheep. Apparently someone we know was looking to downsize his numbers and they came to live with us. I just go with it. The new mommas are named Dolly Pardon and Carrie Underwool. Dolly is SUPER sweet, and ends up competing with our other love bunny Sally Pearl for attention. Matt will be working on some fencing and farm projects on his upcoming spring break. An attorney I work with’s daughter is going to show one of the lambs in the 4-H sheep show this summer, so they came out to look at the girls. Of course, of all the times to have a birds and bees moment on the farm, a bull and a heifer got their freak on right there in front of his innocent sweet little girls. All we could do was laugh (aren’t we mature).

Here’s a video of the climbing bouncing lambs.
