First Shearing Days

9/4/2011

 
Well, It is Labor Day weekend so you know that I had to get some labor in.  Yup, you got it I worked a bit this weekend.  First Dad and I spent a day helping Mom at the shelter.  She needed to Dog proof a few outside runs for her.  It was pretty cool.  We used Cattle and Hog panels to make sure they couldn't get out of those pens by coming through the chainlink fence.  I also got to see Mom work with some Dogs that had no human contact.  They were puppies so it was cool but they sure did yell alot even though Mom wasn't hurting them.  The Momma Dog on the other hand now lets Mom pick her up and walk her on a lease but no one else.  I even helped take apart the shelter's dryer and clean out awhole lot of lint from the back so it would work better.  It was fun but yes it was work.  Dad got called into work today so I hung out at the house and watched old John Wayne movies.  Did you know that in the old days movies weren't 2 hours long?
    Oh and one more thing.  The weather has been great today.  It was cool and windy ... Mom says she is ready for fall.  It is her favorite time of the year..... Okay that isn't the one more thing!!  I wanted everyone to know that if all goes well, We will shear the Goats on Sept. 20th.
