What a week! Whew... lemme catch my breath.
Wednesday, my favorite Christmas present (who turns 4 in December!!) got a new puppy! It's a great pyrenees/black lab mix. This one received the white gene. He has had 3 names... Jack (which B suggested), "Baby Dog" (lil' guy's 1st choice), the the shorter, and simpler, "Puppy!"
He's a furball! So, so , sooooo cute, and good natured! Didn't even blink when the twins thought he was a horse. Then they thought he was a bouncy horse, and he whimpered a bit. What a doll!
Then, would you believe it? On Saturday Mr. CD bought a 14 month old nubian goat! Her name was Molly, which is also the title of a certain American Girl movie coming out next weekend. So, her primary caregiver is, naturally, the eldest girl child. Said daughter has wanted a milk goat forever... she's big Heidi fan.
The news gets better... The goat will kid in January or February, so we didn't have to hit the ground running on milking!! YEA! says convivialmama
Also, the goat was just down the road, at a very good price. This after searching all over Texas for one.
After we looked at Molly, we left to drop off the kids so CD could pick her up. The sellers called and offered to deliver. Thank goodness! It turns out it would have been impossible to have her just sit in the car.
An hour after they dropped her off, they called and said CD was welcome to come back and pick up a goat house. Wonderful! What a deal CD got Saturday. He is AMAZING!
We may have a sheep in our near future, too. CD's mom said it would be best to raise puppy and a sheep together. Then she offered to get one for us!
Ok... somebody pinch me... this week has just been entirely too good!
