No photos this weekend...Not one!
Fred was home and I didn't want to listen to him whine about me and my camera so I put it up! We were busy and then again we weren't. We basically were home all weekend except for a few errands we ran Saturday morning in town. Saturday we drove down to the property to see if the hogs had been there, as I haven't seen them here for a few days. No hogs but we did see a lot of wild turkeys.
Today, Sunday, we worked on our project down at the property. I so wanted to take a photo but I didn't have the camera with me, sigh! Maybe tomorrow. We kept having to change out implements on the tractor and it was a real pain. Each implement or piece of equipment fits the tractor differently so we weren't having much fun re-adjusting everything.
Charlie, the German shepherd, has followed me around all weekend. He's such a sweet dog but he has a few problems. The main one being he doesn't like Jake, he growls and snaps at Jake through the fence. I caught him chasing the chickens and they are really upset, and the cats are totally freaked out with him around. I've had to keep Charlie out of the yard because of that reason. I really want to keep him but Fred and I have talked and we just can't afford another animal. I sure wish he would have fit in here but he hasn't. He totally adores me and Michael. I feel so bad but tomorrow I'm taking Charlie into the vets office to have him checked for a microchip. I put an ad in the paper for him Friday and haven't heard a thing. It breaks my heart but more than likely I will pay to have the vet put him down. I can't see him going to a shelter where he will be penned up and more than likely not adopted out. You may think it's cruel of me but I'd rather know they are not being abused or mistreated and that they are at peace. He's had a good weekend. I took him down to the creek thinking he might like to swim and play but he just followed me around. It's really tearing me up and I'm hoping I can get through tomorrow. I just wish people would take care of their animals and not abandon them for somebody else to have to deal with.
I hope y'all have a great week and I will try to get some photos posted tomorrow. I'm going to start shredding/mowing the pastures so it's going to be a very busy week.
We got a small shower last night. 1/10th of an inch of rain, not much but better than none at all. It has cooled down a bit and the animals were out enjoying it this morning.
I think I'm going to call him nubs, short for nubbins.
and another VERY pregnant doe...she was a bit leery of me and stomping her feet! Uh Oh guess it's time to go rest my ankle and stop pestering the deer. I did see the fawn, persistence, yesterday afternoon. It's up and running around kicking up it's heels, it was too precious. I was actually hoping I'd see it this morning but no such luck!
