Jangle is a larger ewe lamb of '10 and I had no clue what to expect. Well, here you go, a beautiful ewe lamb with exceptional markings, short tail, very sweet. I think her name will be JangALang.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfOUuEwPPlTbGmwJ-OTbjCe0dX9wciWxfwcWHqmcf-0RRdHAYsO7ulr8rJ45IyNADGkEurBlpy95uMhb0BBKdwG9HwP_l5DknCHbRDC51zWz2A2TAedZ-EEks4_1LDtGqoPNbw5BhTgcM/s1600/JangALang.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 281px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597347884457593922" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfOUuEwPPlTbGmwJ-OTbjCe0dX9wciWxfwcWHqmcf-0RRdHAYsO7ulr8rJ45IyNADGkEurBlpy95uMhb0BBKdwG9HwP_l5DknCHbRDC51zWz2A2TAedZ-EEks4_1LDtGqoPNbw5BhTgcM/s320/JangALang.jpg" /></a> This teeny tiny ram lamb (left) was born yesterday. He is so small. His mother is tiny also. I will wether him and hopefully he'll make a great pet for someone. Not sure of his name yet. I was thinking Lilliput because of his size :)<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGUitvEw0sQJPGNqnT8XYsaLODgGOChwTS4NalcR1BUlyB1GYpbRrm_UjP_SvD2tQmFMbHZJHFq1-n4kGG8RStjBJP1wKtfzeMkTfhT5KczzaB9JVhkVDqAycxrgTRrDc6kX1JxLbfveA/s1600/No+name+wether.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 296px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597347881380045010" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGUitvEw0sQJPGNqnT8XYsaLODgGOChwTS4NalcR1BUlyB1GYpbRrm_UjP_SvD2tQmFMbHZJHFq1-n4kGG8RStjBJP1wKtfzeMkTfhT5KczzaB9JVhkVDqAycxrgTRrDc6kX1JxLbfveA/s320/No+name+wether.jpg" /></a></div>gnuhampshirefarmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12275891640130648376noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690173488763624747.post-80164856680517977972011-04-17T20:14:00.003-05:002011-04-17T20:37:04.212-05:002011 Shetland Lambs as of 4.17.11It's been soooooo long since I last posted pictures that I've forgotten about formatting and have spent way too much time trying to get these posted. So it's the best I've got for today. I am abounding in HST marked lambs.....Head Socks & Tails. Some are only partial so, but the year's crop of lambs is outstanding. Little Shari (at the end) is by far the best yet!! <br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg0uey2OxyVqf2imas3_UR3v9j56i_dZ4riUTSNa4Iuub7wcPbMV8ZPPvDXsUK1DWYV_meJkBzFkyXG1L-giu0NIB_Jo7Lenz4zrLdPhkVJyRBXImzrjrIDfobpgE-c41LAGBkwyGovfU/s1600/GHF+Primo.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

So much going on. We still have not sold our farm. We all know what's going on in the real estate world. But I am hopefull 2011 might prove to be the right time. In keeping with that mindset, I have a young Tatra for sale. Her name is Gita (short for Margita). She was born 7.31.09. I had kept her as she tested well for LGD, and has lived outside with sheep most of this time. But her hips are not good enough to use for my breeding program and she is now living her 'adolescent' stage and is way too playful with the sheep. I have Shetlands and she is taller than them. She is only about 85 lbs. and is very loving with people. I think she really does like people more than sheep. I've had her in the house for a few weeks at a time and she's done just fine in here with 2 other females. She is spayed and ready to go. I think she'd make an excellent all around FARM dog, but not with smaller livestock. And no chickens. She's eaten chickens. Even though she was fine when inside the house, I think she prefers to live outside 24/7. I believe she'll develop into a fine guard dog as she matures. All the commands she knows right now are sit and stay. If anyone is interested, please contact me.<br /><div><a href="mailto:gnuhampshirefarm@fvi.net">gnuhampshirefarm@fvi.net</a> </div><div> </div><div>As to the sheep, I have 13 ewes and 6 rams. I need to find homes for them also. I do have one person/acquaintance in WI who might be interested in the entire flock. Or I'll be placing them individually. I believe all 13 ewes are pregnant and this year I started breeding groups early, so I suspect that around the middle of March we will begin lambing. I will post pictures when we start. </div><br /><div></div>gnuhampshirefarmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12275891640130648376noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690173488763624747.post-37327684600008004232010-07-29T13:46:00.003-05:002010-07-29T13:56:05.584-05:00Entire flock for saleDue to unforseen circumstances and a lot of soul searching, I have decided I need to sell off my entire flock of Shetlands.

His mother is my Gooly Girl. She looks white for all intents and purposes but she's got gulmoget markings on her legs as her mother is my gulmoget ewe, Sunny. Sire is SheltrgPines Crescent Moon. I was still surprised to see the HST pattern. The other white ewes gave white lambs, one just this morning also.

Pearl struggled and struggled for a VERY long time. Gosh I hate to interfere, but she was tiring out. So we got her into the barn and my husband held her head and I could carefully help pull this girl out....one leg inside, the other bent in an awkward position, jammed next to her head. But she's fine, up bouncing around and none the worse for wear.

I had gone out to call the girls into the barn in the early evening. We were going out and I put them inside the barn. I have a sick dog so had to move the one dog who's been out with the ewes into the front pen with the rams and lock the girls up at night. Without even looking, I called my 'sheepy girls' and they all came running, including Lammy Poo and her very recently born lamb. I had really thought she might twin, and went looking out in the pasture in case she just ignored the second one, but she only produced one large sweet girl. I'm calling her Laverne.

She is not a Shetland :) She's a Barbados mix, a tall girl but very sweet. She was the cutest lamb herself, I could not refuse to buy her. She was bred to Crescent Moon, the darker of my Shetland rams. Look at what she produced! The lighter lamb with brown back end is a ewe, and the darker one is a little ram. They look more like Shetlands though, than previous lambs of hers, all bred to Shetlands. I'm calling them Bop (ewe) and B Bop (ram, for Boy Bop). Decided this year all lambs (except Prima Vera cuz that was just way too cute to name her that with her mom being Prima Dona) will start their names with the first initial of their moms. BTW, Bette Davis did indeed get her name cuz she's got Bette Davis Eyes!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVz_4SRiSvxCN6qDfDiq8DHphbP_MDAbpF6tMZs9jdU7kcrqpKVa7UzXHtIK0dhgfk8bJwQasiNXL-VroPdTMNYq7e95y-OsY1ZTPdUlh_k0m1ECmCoplamcXWdeAGMpI-oIzIUqjn6ow/s1600/Twins+DOB+5.6.10+ram+ewe+w+Bette.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 241px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468517344581930914" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVz_4SRiSvxCN6qDfDiq8DHphbP_MDAbpF6tMZs9jdU7kcrqpKVa7UzXHtIK0dhgfk8bJwQasiNXL-VroPdTMNYq7e95y-OsY1ZTPdUlh_k0m1ECmCoplamcXWdeAGMpI-oIzIUqjn6ow/s320/Twins+DOB+5.6.10+ram+ewe+w+Bette.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVK4B3rWqXhdzh52WpwVrOP0xDzwPeJIrGUsn-uuaoPMbRxaAVi_s59XNR74qHj1nD1Sp0QhBOrUOpL_azYchLILXNkS99plG6bWY_l59E58OvkvopSNAXhyphenhyphen9BAullVsUnX04PZqF4gps/s1600/Nice+picture+of+Bette+Davis+ewe+Bop.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468517240184158674" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVK4B3rWqXhdzh52WpwVrOP0xDzwPeJIrGUsn-uuaoPMbRxaAVi_s59XNR74qHj1nD1Sp0QhBOrUOpL_azYchLILXNkS99plG6bWY_l59E58OvkvopSNAXhyphenhyphen9BAullVsUnX04PZqF4gps/s320/Nice+picture+of+Bette+Davis+ewe+Bop.JPG" /></a></div>gnuhampshirefarmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12275891640130648376noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690173488763624747.post-61704104620926052262010-05-05T09:48:00.001-05:002010-05-05T09:49:57.688-05:00How cute is she!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmnGtNvVRQ15QqEwgnTL-lWydOxUNnbtx0UbsEfWG7hw_uN2RBMgxREZ3d7qvGKJIidrsY3mplceQhigFtaHDkELiNPfPMURnJKV2xOaQvXK6QHJn0D5KWJzKTU580WQSFox-XYC2ux14/s1600/Black+ewe+5.5.10+B.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467798162265812898" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmnGtNvVRQ15QqEwgnTL-lWydOxUNnbtx0UbsEfWG7hw_uN2RBMgxREZ3d7qvGKJIidrsY3mplceQhigFtaHDkELiNPfPMURnJKV2xOaQvXK6QHJn0D5KWJzKTU580WQSFox-XYC2ux14/s320/Black+ewe+5.5.10+B.JPG" /></a> Born last night, just way too cute for me.gnuhampshirefarmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12275891640130648376noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690173488763624747.post-4812190214440538732010-05-04T23:54:00.014-05:002010-05-05T00:30:59.988-05:00A good day to be born!Lacey lambed today, tonight(ok it's past midnight by now).

This is the first time I've had to assist at all with lambing, ever; both big girls and the first one was simply stuck in place with her head and one leg sticking out.....forever. A few gentle twists even though I was reluctant to interfere, and she finally slid out. She's the black and white lamb, more spots, smaller eye patches. Her sister, brown and white, came shooting out within a minute. Both are the bounciest, leapingest (is that a word?) lambs, up on their feet and springing all over the place.

A few ewes are farther along than others; we may well go into late May for some! <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh13dtNe1P0SGbARLCJE37LjvSr4P8cn45NLPyMzMltde_9RFGWiTKyaLIhpJ8cdFodzl7xxLnEmWtx7u7cM5UcswHedOKz7T8tRsmS2pgZni0u1RmHd2gyFifWG7TVCw9KUo7rOFLKIvQ/s1600/Sunny+Lacey+and+McCoy+at+feeder.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457453744215826194" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh13dtNe1P0SGbARLCJE37LjvSr4P8cn45NLPyMzMltde_9RFGWiTKyaLIhpJ8cdFodzl7xxLnEmWtx7u7cM5UcswHedOKz7T8tRsmS2pgZni0u1RmHd2gyFifWG7TVCw9KUo7rOFLKIvQ/s320/Sunny+Lacey+and+McCoy+at+feeder.JPG" /></a> First picture above is Sunny (gulmoget) Lacey (grey blettet) and McCoy (musket).<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG9AY1Dg3dJxCOvl_qR4O31rAQ464SiKpkzR91XOfzMc8AgvgiDbgrXr51bq26ZMgLGdeXsBkEbi9NOgI7SKOjeaY0zQ-TKpj7rBG9Zm1ovl9OKKxJ9OGbu9LkhPdXHCYbms65fQwlmr8/s1600/Spring+Janalam+Debutante+and+white+one.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457453647740275890" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG9AY1Dg3dJxCOvl_qR4O31rAQ464SiKpkzR91XOfzMc8AgvgiDbgrXr51bq26ZMgLGdeXsBkEbi9NOgI7SKOjeaY0zQ-TKpj7rBG9Zm1ovl9OKKxJ9OGbu9LkhPdXHCYbms65fQwlmr8/s320/Spring+Janalam+Debutante+and+white+one.JPG" /></a> This picture show Spring in front (fawn/white smirslet/sokket HST) with Janalam standing by door (black sponget) Debutante by door (shaela smirslet HST) and one white ewe.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxqjDiZ2LBP4CNBv9BRGiSxO2QeZq4zqZn7bWkPR8Z_y3-mXYAHUEaIjmfKmiPV3f6rSQz3BfOGr4-FM-YMwwHvV0DxoQediOZvukAT5WytkIcliuIXqzaWftJUbCBaP3brajGbrr6xj8/s1600/Spring+and+Prima+Donna.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457453544068922482" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxqjDiZ2LBP4CNBv9BRGiSxO2QeZq4zqZn7bWkPR8Z_y3-mXYAHUEaIjmfKmiPV3f6rSQz3BfOGr4-FM-YMwwHvV0DxoQediOZvukAT5WytkIcliuIXqzaWftJUbCBaP3brajGbrr6xj8/s320/Spring+and+Prima+Donna.JPG" /></a> Spring (left) and Prima Donna (right-fawn/white sokket yuglet HST)<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge6E6B6STCV4lij2uYcgZJOsmsJlifQwHCG0AEREVj02AKo06hUs5PMoemKD5dgN0CknIHeLvWlwhYy8Fx8woMwlPJ6rs7kfAe7wP8PKIW7_9gmBXUqQh3H9RNgmAsVFgkvzZLwKvO38I/s1600/Group+shot+Lammy+Poo+Poo,+Bette+Davis+and+others.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457453441158741666" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge6E6B6STCV4lij2uYcgZJOsmsJlifQwHCG0AEREVj02AKo06hUs5PMoemKD5dgN0CknIHeLvWlwhYy8Fx8woMwlPJ6rs7kfAe7wP8PKIW7_9gmBXUqQh3H9RNgmAsVFgkvzZLwKvO38I/s320/Group+shot+Lammy+Poo+Poo,+Bette+Davis+and+others.JPG" /></a> Here's the big girl Lammy Poo Poo who is obviously NOT a shetland, and Bette Davis a Barbados behind her, with some of the other ewes.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPpaTqRZmxx0mNc1qB2zVxv7R2NauFpx6CgYoK6HXe5T2otbNkYB-pGr1GSDO1Pyncgb0QySbuoh9_Kf-n1LzoBLR7LfI00v084y8hEq0toyKuxN7m0z_I0gSE93UwpVKXEYDS9o_XHfw/s1600/Buck+53+close+up.png"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 198px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 281px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457453348081158946" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPpaTqRZmxx0mNc1qB2zVxv7R2NauFpx6CgYoK6HXe5T2otbNkYB-pGr1GSDO1Pyncgb0QySbuoh9_Kf-n1LzoBLR7LfI00v084y8hEq0toyKuxN7m0z_I0gSE93UwpVKXEYDS9o_XHfw/s320/Buck+53+close+up.png" /></a> Finally, one of the ram lambs from '09, Buck 53.

Moving him away from them for a few weeks worked well in that I could re-introduce rams who had previously lived here without him being so protective of that area. So first the other sheep went back in and then after some days, he went back in. Seems to have done the trick. He's a nice big boy; we'll see what the future brings for him. He's just over 7 months. <br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmGuk2Ob_t3v4fc3TMpQOFFoEhXpMS49j38EnHIT3inREN1Q0CPxab57ocjuz3J6OKT53Rv1WFhzQqsoMy-Bsf3ykERDBHfUi0ECKb5l3kDzPPRyJoD5x34hbPHXbYeXgPwfkfsb1dGoE/s1600-h/1.14.10+B.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426649833236451842" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmGuk2Ob_t3v4fc3TMpQOFFoEhXpMS49j38EnHIT3inREN1Q0CPxab57ocjuz3J6OKT53Rv1WFhzQqsoMy-Bsf3ykERDBHfUi0ECKb5l3kDzPPRyJoD5x34hbPHXbYeXgPwfkfsb1dGoE/s320/1.14.10+B.jpg" /></a> <div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU3Vazj2MvuBhbPbvdmJ02T843l9XqWPRxU1zXenRZVsV_MTaF49eWr0yL1GsS4gdMBP86hNXTj3ubt4qaevJBT5DQFupqBRaOFhHGo5ykIc-S61EM5A8syXyc4xRJtS2Ns1f4zB9Cw84/s1600-h/1.14.10.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426649759291246386" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU3Vazj2MvuBhbPbvdmJ02T843l9XqWPRxU1zXenRZVsV_MTaF49eWr0yL1GsS4gdMBP86hNXTj3ubt4qaevJBT5DQFupqBRaOFhHGo5ykIc-S61EM5A8syXyc4xRJtS2Ns1f4zB9Cw84/s320/1.14.10.jpg" /></a> This is Margita, also 7 months old. She's in the barn with Grace and all the ewes. She's big too. She's more submissive to me than her brother Dunaj. Both of them love to be petted and touched. But they both are quite relaxed around their sheep too and I'm hoping that one or both of them turn out to be good LGDs. </div></div></div></div>gnuhampshirefarmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12275891640130648376noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690173488763624747.post-77147187985715679692010-01-11T17:37:00.008-06:002010-01-11T18:02:22.301-06:00The GirlsWell, I FINALLY bought a new battery for my old camera and figured it was no longer even holding a charge, maybe it was time! Ya think??!! It's just not be high on my list of priorities. But I wanted some new pictures of the dogs and before I know it, lambs will be here too. These were taken this past weekend. We moved breeding rams back into the ram pen and all the ewes are now back together. I was looking over pictures that people have sent me of the puppies from this past litter and figured I should post some of my own. These are only the house dogs. I'll work on the ones outside later this week.<br /><div><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425631328424209282" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNAyAfkXZQ4a3IhLoK8H4p1RRWkadkLAEPm4Sy6E5A3U53zVDboGuh2IG0iDLfs_vIV9XpXw5eFJUgb_4p_cipBDeAum5Z_VADEZjp-UbB46BPgsP9fOAurBqlTqx4bEE7d4-7wX4siwU/s320/Basha+Bella+Rosie+1.9.10.jpg" />Basha (2009) on left. Bella, her mom (2007) in the middle. Rosie, same mom as Bella (2008) to the right. Rosie has spent most, but not all of her life, outside with the sheep. But she is not relaxed with them and so I made the call to bring her inside. She's adjusting quite well but still learning the ropes of being an inside dog. Bella and Rosie are more similar in type than I would have imagined. </p><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425633595081553634" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaAl3B6qKmPYjj5Q8Xk6gd7DP_6bE0kzjKezaL2EcZFUyG0wLQdS32d2VvWZrsMmtkhE6yVloDT0wFaHRi-zfY9MdCk0vCKZ8pOULoGqcehCMYgO_Z5D2cf43SirZD_LKePX01Pp_NM9Q/s320/Basha+1+Jan+10,+2010.jpg" />Here's Basha again. I think of her as a beauty, but she almost looks like she's sporting a bit of a black mustache under her nose. Looks funny and now that I've seen it, I keep seeing it in her pictures.

It's what happens when you have sheep festivals and dog festivals and church volunteer obligations. And life. Wow, so much has gone on. First, today brought joy......my one dear sweet barn cat, Tootsie showed up. She goes AWOL for very long periods of time (longest was about 9 months we figured). She is quite vocal and friendly so while she may actually come home to the barn each night, she's not been there in the mornings or any other time of day. We once caught her at a truck machinery spot about 1/4 mile away. We saw what we THOUGHT was her and turned the car around and it looked like her, but she would not come up to me. That was reassuring in and of itself tho as I knew she was still alive and had not become coyote appetizer. But that was months ago. Each time we drive by that place, we look for her. And this morning she was greeting me in the barn and let me hug and cuddle her for a long time. Just like the prodigal son. Yet as I left the barn to come inside, I realized that it might be the last time I see her. Such is life with barn cats.<br /><div><div><br /><div><strong>Updates:</strong> Early October we hit the road in the RV to Sun Valley Idaho for the annual Trailing of the Sheep. It's a sheep festival which celebrates the winter migration of flocks and re-enacts the path that sheep farmers have taken for many decades. Our dog club participates and every other year it is the site of our annual meeting. This year we took Basha and Tesia (4 month old puppies at the time) plus Tiger Lily the rat dog. They did quite well never having traveled like that. Besides the aromatic scents throughout the RV often, traveling with puppies was easier than I would have guessed. They were good girls. </div><br /><div>Seeing everyone in Idaho was just great. I also got to hook up with 2 dogs I had previously owned....Cubby and Buddy. Cubby was my dog from a litter of Tatra Mixes born in 2006 by Brandy (owned by Andrew Tokarz) and Quincy my male Tatra. Cubby was the puppy who from day one would lay on his back in my hand, just totally relaxed. When I needed to place Buddy in a good home that could care for him (in 2008) due to hip dysplasia, I sent Cubby along too. It was the right thing to do, they were BFF. I could not separate them. They are now owned by a loving, caring couple in Oregon who take them with to work as therapy dogs. Here's a picture of me and Cubby this October in Idaho. What a delight to see him again.<br /></div><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 198px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416606333611400578" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4eXPZ-tDXURmcB-juWpEKUtdhmUgcX6Upu5HAT_h0O2ELnLqzU4r3coa8aXmTHeDCqvqmG5497yhscIVO3hPI4ff-Hvx5OBZSoVkXbWn_Opx4lerFAcEt3CtUAXYXpNY9fHn9YvzGTwM/s320/Idaho+2009.JPG" />The trip was also one of the saddest times.....my big boy Quincy, died at home while we were away. Unexplained, unexpected. Best guess is that he had a fatal arrythmia, and went very quickly. Still difficult many days realizing he's not here by my side protecting me. I always felt so safe with him. Even with other dogs in the house, it's not the same. I trusted him in a very real way. I have yet to establish that trust of totally guarding me in the same way with the girls left in the house. Here's one of the last pictures we took of him, joining us on our trip to MN for the Twin Cities Polish Festival in August. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416607460398316546" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUlo1dUjYg_InCroB3srIRsg_dFTtY6NCNSiWs6AHQi05hkWU3GjChIY-p8yMcy5w22vx8tWvOsTMw1jRldiuyhTNOFcQmJ4BJLePxLw0C05nxQuux_Q492UwYz6D0fO4LC8CnTeUTjAA/s320/in+the+RV+MN+09.JPG" /></div><div>Life moves on. Been very busy since that trip to Idaho. We left Tesia with club members when we left Idaho. She had been the puppy I picked out for my new house dog. Good, solid temperament, all around nice girl. Basha came back to me after placing her at 8 weeks. The new owner realized having a rambunctious puppy was not all it's cracked up to be. Living with Basha was easy enough but she knew me and responded well to me. So I decided if our friends wanted one of the puppies, Tesia would be the easiest to adjust and she'd do well anywhere. Wasn't quite so sure with Basha. So that was a bit melancholy leaving Tesia behind but I know she's doing well and keeping those new owners on their toes. </div><br /><div>All puppies are large.....I have not weighed my 3 recently but my guess is that they're close to 70 lbs. and very well proportioned. They have good correct coats and each has a slightly different look. Basha is drop dead gorgeous in her face. She's the smallest of my 3 but still a good sized girl. Margita (Gita) is very large and has a blockier face. She's out with Gracie and the ewes. Dunaj Jr. (doon-eye) is also very handsome and lives with the rams out front. He was way too frisky with the small ram lambs from this past year and so putting him out with the big boys solved that problem immediately. Even tho Shetlands are small sheep, the rams are tough enough not to take any bad behavior from a puppy, despite the fact that the puppy is as big as they are. </div><br /><div>Over Thanksgiving weekend, my husband built me a hay feeder in the barn, 24 ft. long! This is awesome. I have always fed on the ground and while it was not the best, it was just what I did. But I never liked this method. Now I've got a place where all my ewes can feed up off the ground and stay cleaner and drier. The ones outside (rams in front, one small breeding group out back) still eat off the ground, but that will be a project for 2010. Look at the great job he did in building this in one day. It's very nice. Even the smallest ewe lambs from 2009 just put their front feet in and all can reach. So all but the tiniest of lambs can feed from here. It's got a nice ledge on the bottom also for grain should I want to feed the girls that. Right now I have the larger breeding group of 10 ewes in here. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416610508101762770" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYYc6I8buluLpz1u2ZvD5pHfXivt8UIiFw4SWOC1YcaJixfA7bmx6GMALX5b8XpSJfV77ky5uDYxVurLj1Aw_qsZnRaQH7-dVCNTtJsQERwNv6RNSkOTbsYiQw681NQzKm7060cIMVXio/s320/hay+feeder.JPG" />This is all I can do for today. Christmas is fast approaching. Thought I was finished shopping but realized last night I have one more GC to get. We are enjoying watching our 2 grandchildren grow and thrive. They are delights. It just makes you smile to see them. Sorry, I don't post pictures of the kids on the internet. But trust me, they are priceless. </div><div> </div><div>We have so many blessings to be thankful for; our family, our friends, our faith. Here's hoping you all enjoy a very Merry Christmas and a great start to 2010! I'll try to be back soon :)</div></div></div>gnuhampshirefarmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12275891640130648376noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690173488763624747.post-72776653860281052082009-09-28T12:27:00.004-05:002009-09-28T12:36:07.080-05:00Basha BabyHere's a picture of Basha. Basha originally was sent to a new owner, who unfortunately had to return her to me. His life and her life were not in sync and so she came back to me. (This was my oldest son John.) It was, however, very fortunate for me that it worked out this way. I had kept 3 of the puppies from this litter. Dunaj Jr. is living with the ewes, chickens and cats. Margita is (was) living with the ram lambs. She's having too much fun with them and was just moved this morning. Tesia is a house dog. Basha's been here for 2 weeks now. She is absolutely gorgeous altho this photo does not necessarily reflect that. She had a lot of fun out in the mud and I had to take this picture of her. She's been walking a little funny. Today all 4 of these puppies had a visit to the vet for their rabies shots. While there, we did an x-ray of Basha's hip, just to see what was there. Well, much to my delight, they were excellentand also very well angulated! Because she is such a beauty, I have decided to keep her and see how she turns out down the road. I may place Tesia with a club member out in Oregon. My husband and I leave for Idaho soon and while there, we will determine if Tesia goes to her new home or not. But Basha stays with me now. She's been very sweet and wonderful. And who knows, maybe the dog that was returned will turn out to be a wonderful breeding specimen over time. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin6BT6w2TPVaoJxJdalSZ1k6TkepW4T-A0Fg7Wnxbe17vLfpl3kl1ltiZORo-p59dxEwtRJEgniUtgEPB4_f9ioHfp2VaztuRgCdi6sg0Ger8GxgNmLTBFSXaV0R32MBRPLqUlZjkqWkM/s1600-h/having+fun+with+mud+2+sept+09.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386571354375560642" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin6BT6w2TPVaoJxJdalSZ1k6TkepW4T-A0Fg7Wnxbe17vLfpl3kl1ltiZORo-p59dxEwtRJEgniUtgEPB4_f9ioHfp2VaztuRgCdi6sg0Ger8GxgNmLTBFSXaV0R32MBRPLqUlZjkqWkM/s320/having+fun+with+mud+2+sept+09.JPG" /></a><br /><div></div>gnuhampshirefarmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12275891640130648376noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690173488763624747.post-21946534704934470672009-09-07T19:52:00.009-05:002009-09-07T20:10:25.538-05:00Labor Day AlreadyIt's been forever since I've posted a thing. Been so busy. Had a great time in MN for the Polish Festival in August. Will post those pictures too but first some updates on the dogs here at GHF. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPNH3HfQOmhI6Er8DkrnmjDJvFmA5Y9kDS_sR_dODLHe4kTtl1HOBQG1L0P2C1rffBfFepmW9RsOz8AsjNXG1TO6_zIltW0TpEM-IK-iY1_ou1EL3Gg1KYnfm_tx1hZ2gvabgVjAXQpNQ/s1600-h/cute+shot+on+sept+9.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378894191067384098" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPNH3HfQOmhI6Er8DkrnmjDJvFmA5Y9kDS_sR_dODLHe4kTtl1HOBQG1L0P2C1rffBfFepmW9RsOz8AsjNXG1TO6_zIltW0TpEM-IK-iY1_ou1EL3Gg1KYnfm_tx1hZ2gvabgVjAXQpNQ/s320/cute+shot+on+sept+9.JPG" /></a> This first guy is Dunaj Jr....named for his father(doon eye). I think he is quite handsome and he is turning out to be very mellow. His hair appears to be a little wavier than his sisters' here but time will tell. He is a very sweet boy. He is out with all the ewes, the chickens and the barn cats. So far, so good!<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsN7COyEuGVANuBYRlcDR4nMvdjOc7o40YpfkwbSbVEpuxsg1RXBAukdGpB365EQL1VYEjIi8Kev76Su8UdI9KlKxNKnPWlSRBIctqhc6WbicxwW8inFYaUaGEbPY5tylaF7eZyrGMkqw/s1600-h/at+fence.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378894090935119074" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsN7COyEuGVANuBYRlcDR4nMvdjOc7o40YpfkwbSbVEpuxsg1RXBAukdGpB365EQL1VYEjIi8Kev76Su8UdI9KlKxNKnPWlSRBIctqhc6WbicxwW8inFYaUaGEbPY5tylaF7eZyrGMkqw/s320/at+fence.JPG" /></a> This is Gita, short for Margita. She is living with the ram lambs. She had TOO much fun one day with a chicken, so this is where she'll stay for a while. She is a bit pushy with them too but they do turn and butt her off, so let's hope that continues and she relaxes even more.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoxnzZVl2UAlvE_0ZroRLHxyPPhwfpLXiMjnK_bq6Mw7RrZlgYy7er3HQE9N72yv2Sm8BBkjikb3Z9q9wgPQG4BvdZN2j64yEqYyOM5OalVWLMFaNoukUMvZVeBit5h5L06jS-OntPUu8/s1600-h/nice+shot+sept+9.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378893989780390674" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoxnzZVl2UAlvE_0ZroRLHxyPPhwfpLXiMjnK_bq6Mw7RrZlgYy7er3HQE9N72yv2Sm8BBkjikb3Z9q9wgPQG4BvdZN2j64yEqYyOM5OalVWLMFaNoukUMvZVeBit5h5L06jS-OntPUu8/s320/nice+shot+sept+9.JPG" /></a> This is Tesia (Tesha) the house dog. She is very mellow, I am surprised by it. She was always a middle of the road girl but has become quite nice. Doing well with overnight sleeping and housebreaking but spends so much time outdoors during the day that we are not really doing the housebreaking routine as in the past with other dogs.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv_6Dg0NfgEKCfpZ5QYqhipzugiBYNYKxk0zqkP0LnW0fTi6z71KCP9VdAA8bAWcXXQgz2Ij9Jh-9YoJw0wrjE-51FK-D-PPhY_xp8pGK26YgrVLEyDBxnyUM01kVE5eqVwJ_dyeygr-o/s1600-h/in+grass+on+sept+9.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378893869554272546" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv_6Dg0NfgEKCfpZ5QYqhipzugiBYNYKxk0zqkP0LnW0fTi6z71KCP9VdAA8bAWcXXQgz2Ij9Jh-9YoJw0wrjE-51FK-D-PPhY_xp8pGK26YgrVLEyDBxnyUM01kVE5eqVwJ_dyeygr-o/s320/in+grass+on+sept+9.JPG" /></a> Dear Sweet Bella, the mom. Her figure is back but her coat is thin, poor girl. Yet she is happy and perky and a wonderful dog. Glad she's back to normal.<br /></div><div>Now an exciting thing happened this past week. I got back from the mill my first ever processed fleece. I am thrilled with it, yet am not quite sure what I'll do with it all. I have to put it into 4 oz. balls for selling and hopefully I will actually do that soon. And I have some cute sheep ornaments/statues I want to make and that will be fun. I have 15 boxes like this, assorted colors. Very cool. I am determined to take a class this fall or winter to learn to spin and who knows where that will take me down the road. For now this is wonderful to see the final results of what is produced here on the farm .<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjzMC_5B7aoRRSXVIuKhpsunX5XrMGoOercDqpefn-xgiAeiCkpvtJytrVzI7SwR6Z7GbhIqrSVFlRfIDLgN8NQkmNXiGzPoJGoqdlFw3neqjucrIOu_jZmEXMElwBxwR_C4M8F3ds1Ww/s1600-h/DSC03767.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378893736868651618" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjzMC_5B7aoRRSXVIuKhpsunX5XrMGoOercDqpefn-xgiAeiCkpvtJytrVzI7SwR6Z7GbhIqrSVFlRfIDLgN8NQkmNXiGzPoJGoqdlFw3neqjucrIOu_jZmEXMElwBxwR_C4M8F3ds1Ww/s320/DSC03767.JPG" /></a> <div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihJVLwuowG8z5QmRHHHmGk9NTr6zRssaXzMscYazrtA2O_iIcK8Y4B-6IFQ288iHr0Tjq7IASzfVc-dYRhW2yf6McsFmrPkduAlB8IQY-BYFE5MryM_pUTz6cn-cnNcEl4JiRGiUSbRy4/s1600-h/DSC03769.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378893438332370258" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihJVLwuowG8z5QmRHHHmGk9NTr6zRssaXzMscYazrtA2O_iIcK8Y4B-6IFQ288iHr0Tjq7IASzfVc-dYRhW2yf6McsFmrPkduAlB8IQY-BYFE5MryM_pUTz6cn-cnNcEl4JiRGiUSbRy4/s320/DSC03769.JPG" /></a> <div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-3Bn8G68FHxkMSKiLA9cUagAcSDU1EiDskpM3Vp5CGe5LSz6Z8p-_IeM5yQAi5SH3-cM4VCFpN2jTgwB9t1sn4l9QklesELBiIfQS-mFvF4uPNC6ZiW8hhsW5NOZEIP3hg6a1PuRfyeA/s1600-h/DSC03766.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378893334467972258" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-3Bn8G68FHxkMSKiLA9cUagAcSDU1EiDskpM3Vp5CGe5LSz6Z8p-_IeM5yQAi5SH3-cM4VCFpN2jTgwB9t1sn4l9QklesELBiIfQS-mFvF4uPNC6ZiW8hhsW5NOZEIP3hg6a1PuRfyeA/s320/DSC03766.JPG" /></a></div></div></div></div></div></div>gnuhampshirefarmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12275891640130648376noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690173488763624747.post-71184026262794249132009-08-19T13:41:00.003-05:002009-08-19T14:03:40.252-05:00OK, it's been FOREVER it seems that I posted something. We had our huge Corn Fest Party here at the farm on August 8th....a day filled with family, friends, food and fun. How blessed we are to have such wonderful people in our lives. Took us a few days to recover from that.<br /><div></div><br /><div>Then we switched gears and prepared to pack up four dogs and truck up to the Twin Cities for their revival of a Polish Festival. Herm, I and the dogs took the RV and headed north. Quincy travels very well, but the two puppies were another story. We take one of the large crates and mount it above the cab of the Class C RV, perfect fit. They cried in there for about 20 minutes, then settled down very nicely. The little rat dog, dear Tiger Lily, is a perfect angel in her teeny crate and you practically didn't even know she was there. </div><br /><div>We had a fabulous time at the festival. Terry (another dog club member) and I, along with 3 of the big white dogs, went to KARE 11 Television studion on Saturday morning for a short but fun spot on TV. What a hoot that was. Here is the video from that morning. It's very short and I'm only the last 30 seconds or so of the tape. </div><div> </div><div>Tried to embed the link but not having luck. Here's the actual link, check out the video on the right.</div><div><a href="http://www.kare11.com/news/local/mornings/saturday/saturday_article.aspx?storyid=822109&catid=21">http://www.kare11.com/news/local/mornings/saturday/saturday_article.aspx?storyid=822109&catid=21</a></div><div> </div><div>What a wonderful weekend we had. Our club booth members were terrific, the weather held out for us pretty well and the dogs were the best. We literally had thousands of people come over to see, pet and ask about the dogs. We hope we can go back again.</div><br /><div></div><div>Here's a shot of Q snoozing in the RV......such is the life, eh!!<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371751353712750690" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghZSH3zOnHl02OLGSjUcCctObn8HnJSRQvoQt3oLmUSymv5wbdx8RcyByCa-wMIAukJEV_ZvdthMU7fECAOLEoZRohRIFif0Tp0yqwuTxYkxWupFnkKkvFWw6W5_oYG2jPXHWjSvScPzw/s400/Q+in+the+RV+MN+trip+2009.jpg" /></div>gnuhampshirefarmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12275891640130648376noreply@blogger.com1
