The goats have been poorly - it seems that they are OCD and overeat. Do you think they take after me?
Our problem is too much rich spring grass. Art is getting it all cut back now and I know more about goat poop then I should. The goats are well now but we have kept them up and eating mostly hay and oats. They might be able to go out a little while this afternoon.
I had my daughter's four kids during their Easter break and needless to say it was a zoo here. Two cats, two goats, 16 chicks, a new puppy and 4 children between the age of 6 and 13. This has been one crazy adventure.
Thanks for you interest in my world and I so enjoy reading your comments. Welcome to my new followers - y'all make me smile!!

...oh Sandy, how marvelous, your furry, feathered family is ever growing :) sorry to hear flip & flop have been poorly, who woulda thought the grass could be to rich but glad they are on the mend, Sam is such a delight, I'm amazed you were able to choose from that adorable bunch of fur-balls!!...your way of life and the beauty that surrounds you is awesome, you are so blessed, much love to you and hubby and thank you for your always so kind words on my blog...Melxx :)
Thanks for all the wonderful photos.
Sure enjoyed seeing your babies...ALL of 'em. Looked as though you all were having a lovely time & great weather. Still dealing with pc, internet problems. Now maybe messed up my cookies thing...grrr...AND we found ants in the basement stamp room.Dunno where they are coming from, nor what they be after. Not much crafting going on, and at some blogs when I try to comment, blooger(or google) keeps asking me to sign on, but won't let me....Argh. TFS & enjoy your grands
Sandy, I love your menagerie. Sam is adorable and looks like she already takes her job seriously. Glad to hear Flip and Flop are doing better. We used to have lambs so I know what you mean about rich grass...and poop knowledge. Your grandkids are so lucky to have been there for all of the fun. I'm sure they had a bunch of stories when they went back to school :)
Lovely pictures Sweet Sandy, TFS, I ham happy to see your "ménagerie" is doing fine! gosh... youare really a busy mom! Take care. xoxo
wow look at you with all your new animals and dear little Flip and Flop, they are obviously keeping you both very busy, plus 4 grandchildren to keep you on your toes....am sure they didn't want to leave you and go home as they were obviously having loads of fun. Sam is so adorable.
Thank you for all the wonderful photographs Sandy. Hugs Annette x
Oh my goodness, Sandy, Max is such a cutie....A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!!!!!
I love reading about your adventures on the farm....been there, done that!
I hope Flip and Flop remain healthy...their digestive system can't handle the rich grass...our calves couldn't handle it either!
I bet your grandkids love visiting with you. You have a lovely place, Sandy!
How fun is it to visit grandma's now? That is awesome Sandy. All the animals look great and your granddaughters are so pretty. Looks like a wonderful time together. So glad you are doing well and shared some photos!

Glad the goats are feeling better and I love your gorgeous new puppy, seems like you all enjoyed a good time over Easter, I'm sure you wouldn't have it any other way.

I think Sam is going to have fun with the goats, I can see them playing around. Sorry the goats have not been feeling so good but hope they are doing better now and you sure have had your hands full. Thanks for sharing.

Your grandchildren are beautiful! I love the photos of them holding the animals. Darling puppy and love seeing the chickens and goats. You are very brave my friend to take on so much but they should keep you busy and entertained. Did you get the chickens for the eggs or just for fun? It should be very interesting around there for quite awhile and I am sure you are going to be a busy lady. Take care of yourself and enjoy your new toys..Hugs, Linda
What fun seeing your farm and your menagerie! Lovely pics, Sandy. I can only imagine how soft and sweet those little guys are in person.
YOu are just turning into Green Acres over there! I'm so jealous, it sounds like a blast, too!! I wanna play. Love the pics and love that the grands are enjoying nature. Have fun and keep us posted.
Oh my Gosh Sandy, I want to come visit your house !! Looks like a fun time with the grandkids and I love all your animals, so cute!!!!
Ohh Sandy, Sam is so cute! Love the picture that she is looking over her domain! And what a wonderful grandchildren you have! You all look so very happy! Hugs, Sandra
Can I come and visit you?
Sandy, I havent been on a farm since I was 13! And my kids never been on a farm, and I have to tell you-best time ever I had in the Russian Village.
But.... I'll tell you a secret-I AM AFRAID OF ANIMALS! don't laugh-they SCARE ME!
And best time for me was-staying all day in bed reading a book with icy cold milk and fresly homemade bread made in a brick fire wood stove-MMM, the best thing on the planet Earth, better than coffie I tell ya! :)
Awwww...you post put a big smile on my face! Your new sheep dog, Sam is adorable! Sounds like you had a busy house at Easter time, but with lots of fun! Thank you so much for sharing the photos...my heart is smiling...all too sweet!:-)
Hi Sandy,
Thank you so much for the pictures of your little animals. I can't imagine how busy you are with them all. Your new Sam is wonderful.
OK where is the story about the 5 chicks that became 16 LOL LOL .
Your place is beautiful and so clean for all the pets.
Big Hugs, Candy
Wow... this is so cool! Sandy, all your little animals are so cute! I really love your place! Thank you for sharing. ^_^
Such nice pictures of your animals Sandy...and your granddaughter is so happy with your animals too, we can see.
Good luck with all of them, especially those cute Sam, Flip and Flop!!
Kind regards, Alie :-)
Hi Sandy...such a lovely post with all your pictures...Must be heaven having all those animals and they sure seem to keep you busy...having your very own 'farm' must be the best thing ever..thank you for sharing your photos with us....
Anne
Yep..it's offical...I'm moving there! Not sure what the hubby will do, he'll manage I'm sure.. :D
I'm just smiling like an idiot enjoying all your adorable animals and the grand kids. SO MUCH FUN on the farm. ;)

Good grief! How do you keep up with all your fans?! A wonderful life indeed. Your new puppy is adorable and will learn quickly --- the goats, not so sure - adorable, but love grass. :o) Glad they are feeling better though. Aren't new chicks the most beautiful things. When I was little and we would bring them home I would sit in the straw as they came out of their boxes peeping and let them dance all over me. Made me giggle no end. So beautiful. Thanks for sharing. hugs, Donna
I think you have the best Gwamma domain around! You are creating the best memories around Sandy! Your grands will certainly have many stories to tell!
Oh wow Sandy I want to come and live with you it sounds just like paradise to me, all those lovely animals, you must be in seventh heaven, I know I would be, I am so glad that Flip and Flop are better now and Sam looks awesome, you are living a dream, it is fantastic of you to share some of it with us in these pictures.
hugs

Oh, Sandy, they are all so adorable! Beautiful photos! Have a great day! Hugs
Oh, Sandy - it's so lovely to catch up with life on the "wee farm"... I spent the whole post thinking the next picture couldn't get more adorable, and then it did!! Chicks, goats and your absolutely beautiful Maremma sheepdog puppy all got me ahhhing and awwwing, and my word what a beautiful spot you live in! Thanks so much for sharing the updates... I do hope that with your love and care, and their new diet, the goats will soon be bouncing around again!

What an awesome Easter Break...bet those kids had the time of their lives...if you are like me though...you might have needed a nap when they all left...teeehee
Oh my goodness! You look like you have been really busy. Sam is so adorable. I have a soft spot for puppies. My sons said that I have three dogs which replace them. They also say they are extremely spoiled. Have fun with all your babies.

Well first of all I am not going to ask how they got 16 chicks through the letter box lol! Where you live looks just idyllic Sandy what I would give to live somewhere like that! Unfortunately the UK is so small we are packed like sardines! Your latest addition is the most adorable bundle of fluff I have never heard of a Meremma sheepdog! Oh poor Flip and Flop over indulging but who can blame them? Take care my friend! Hugs Susan x
