Of Mice and...Peeking Knees?

Kevin - I found a MOUSE!!!  It was dead.  I rolled on it.  Rolled and rolled.  It was great!  TM stole my mouse and put it in the trash.  Then I got a bath.

Lowri - It rained and rained today.  When it finally stopped, we all went for a walk.  Daisy played "Roll the puppy in the wet grass."  Let me be VERY clear about this.  NO ONE gets to play "roll the puppy (Kevin) in the ... whatever" except ME!  I informed Daisy, the Peeking Knees, in no uncertain terms, that Kevin is MINE to roll. 

Then I saw Aidan trying to play with Kevin.  He is WAY too big to be playing with my baby.  I ran over and punished him too.  I can see that I am going to have my work cut out for me.  Kevin is just too darn cute!

More Lambs

Lowri - We have another set of twin lambs.  This is our third set.  They were born today.  They are very cute!  I will help TM tag them on Sunday.  I love our baby lambs.

TM has been teaching Kevin to come when she calls.  We can be out of sight in the back yard when she comes out and whistles for us.  Of course, I come running immediately.  Kevin has figured out that he needs to come too.  Yesterday, Kevin came in FIRST!  He figured out the whistle was a signal to run to TM.  What a boy!

Speaking of boys...Adam made the cover of his company's Facebook page.  He got introduced to the whole world.  He is a star!

Ms. Alden introduced Ms. Monica and Adam R. Murray (that is MY son!)

Meanwhile, in Colorado, Peyton was doing his best to win over his new brother and sister.  He thinks his brother, Venti, is a Cardigan (he has a tail) and his sister, Luna, is a Pembroke (no tail).  Sadly, I don't think he is the brightest of my children.  He is definitely the sweetest!

A Cardigan, a Pembroke and a puppy.  Obviously, I didn't teach him enough about the dog kingdom.

Party

Lowri - My baby, Peyton, now lives in Denver with Miss Kathy.  Today, Miss Kathy's friends threw her a baby shower for Peyton.  They are really great friends!  Peyton got a whole bunch of stuff.  What an awesome haul!  Someone even made cupcakes for the people!

What great friends!

My baby's name is Bluefox Elyan MVP.  What a cool gift!

Games and Beds

Lowri - Here are a couple of photos of us playing my favorite game - "roll the puppy in the snow."  It is a whole lot more fun than I remember it being when I was a puppy.  Then, there are a couple of photos of us chilling on a chilly night.

Then roll the puppy

I am on the sock monkey bed.  It is very comfortable.

Farm Life

Lowri - Big Mama is not feeling well today.  She didn't come eat grain.  That means she is sick!  It took TM a little bit to notice, but she was not happy when she did.  I had to help hold Big Mama against the fence so TM could give her a shot.  TM was pleased that she resisted, because it meant Big Mama wasn't too sick.

TM also put wood floors in the bunny cages and then a lot of straw.  It is supposed to be cold tomorrow.  TM is trying to take good care of them.  The stupid male dragged his straw out of the shelter.  TM was not amused.

Here are some pictures of me with Kevin...

I am showing Kevin some good stuff to smell.

Maybe he will learn to track.

Kevin:  I found a MOUSE!  All by myself.  It was dead!!!  TM took it away from me.  Boo!

Kevin is coming towards TM.  Her camera didn't quite get a focused picture.

Peyton and Miss Kathy Left

Lowri - Peyton and Miss Kathy went back to Denver today.  We just heard from Miss Kathy.  They are just leaving the airport on the way home.  She will call TM when she gets home.  My baby, Peyton, has been AWESOME!  He has been quiet and well-behaved the whole trip.  I think he is lulling Miss Kathy.  When she can't send him back, the baddog gene will strike.  I can't wait!

TM checked the lambs today.  Big Mama had a girl and a boy.  They are beautiful!  TM got them tagged without my help.  I wanted to get in there, but TM thought I should stay in the car.  Boo!

TM has been paying attention to the weather reports.  It is going to be very cold on Monday and Tuesday.  She rearranged gates and fences so Abby, the heifer, and the older lambs can get into the barn for shelter.  They will be warm and will help keep the chickens and the ducks warmer. 

Kevin - My mama told me to say hi to everyone.  Hi, everyone. 

Fast Week

Lowri - This week has just flown by.  Not only was there a holiday in the middle of it, Miss Kathy has been here.  She is leaving tomorrow morning.  She is going to take my baby, Peyton, with her.  TM told her she didn't have to take him, if she didn't want to.   Miss Kathy laughed and said "nice try".  She loves my baby!  TM will miss her...and maybe will miss my baby too!

We have two sets of twin lambs.  They are very cute!  Little Mama had twin girls.  We don't know yet what Big Mama's are.  TM will catch them up tomorrow and tag them.
