It isn't going to be easy letting go.... : ( My daughter is keeping one, although we're going to let him get big enough to defend himself before she tries to move him to mom's house. The rest moved into a 30-foot diameter round pen yesterday (Saturday) that I started building them when I saw how cramped a 10 x 10 was for all 8 of them. The goat had been using a portion of the lawn the pen is built on and left a bit of shaggy hair behind. She's an Angora and every fall puts on a heavy wool coat which comes off in shaggy pieces in the spring. It made for a great tug-of-war : ) They seem to like all the space. They've gotten very into wrestling and chasing each other, a real cute show... And each one is developing a personality. I think it was a mistake to name them. We gave them their first round of shots last week. I made up some sheets with good pictures of each puppy and my daughter showed them to some of her friends who had expressed an interest in having one. There are still a couple of them whose parents hadn't said "no" before school was out... She got phone numbers so we can call the parents this coming week and hope for a taker or two. Last weekend we went through McDonald's drive-thru with momma Penney in the back seat. The young lady taking orders saw her and made a comment. Before we left McD's, she had sent a slip of paper out to the front counter with her phone # on it. We stopped by today to give her one of the sheets of pictures. She wasn't there, but when the girl at the front counter heard why I was there and saw the pictures... Now I need to print a new copy for the first one : ) Guess it's going to be a race between the school and McDonald's to see where we can place the most pups. I'm not looking forward to the end of that race... Mel Gamble === You're doing a great job, Mel. I'll bet they are adorable. Are ya totin' home those 50# bags of puppy food yet? === === |

Are ya totin' home those 50# bags of puppy food yet? === === With the amount of horse feed and dog feed I've been hauling, I'm looking at trading my car for a truck. I called, got an address, and stopped by the first McDonald's girl's home tonight with a sheet of pictures. She picked one on-the-spot...it was traumatic. At first she pointed at my favorite - Patches. But then she said "I like this one" and pointed at little Friendly. Life stinks. Mel Gamble |
