Yogie was a good mentor, Shamrock goes home, Zootown Farmers Market.

The trip to the dentist was a success. Yogie was a great mentor for Boy, she took his little hand and lead him back into "her" realm. She has spent so much time at the dentist with her braces in the last six months that she is totally at home there. Our Pediatric Dentist is the best there is, her office is so child friendly that all the children there love being there. All the dentist and staff are so kind and fun for the kids, I applaud our dentist for all her hard work to change children's feelings about being there. They start on the little ones to build a confidence in the children that the dentist doesn't hurt them but helps them build good dental habits. Boy went with Yogie back to the chair. They asked him what flavor of toothpaste, chocolate or rootbeer, he went with the rootbeer (all details are play by play from Yogie) He let them brush his teeth, Yogie got to set in the chair beside him. They found that he had hit one of his front teeth and killed it, it will have to come out next month, but other than that a wonderful visit for him. He got his bag of goodies and a shirt for being good during ex rays.  Booboo had a stellar visit, no cavities, she got her bag of goodies and a t-shirt for her ex rays. Yogie got a token for being a good mentor. Cubbie had not cavities, but screamed up a storm, her mom was with her. We then took the kids for lunch, picked up a few items and came home, great trip to Zootown.

Poppie used his day to get some much needed down time, he just vegged. Shinny came over and visited with him for awhile and they had a good visit. Grandpa called him in the afternoon and told him that Yogie could take her eggs to the big Farmers Market so she got them all ready to take, she had 6 1/2 dozen. Grandpa told her that she could get 4.50 a dozen which is great, she gets 2.00 here, which is good here.
The girls packed their little backpacks, Mokie, Son and the kids took them to Grandpa and Grandma's for the night so they could get up early for their trip to the Farmers Market. I hope they have a great day, sell Yogie's eggs and just have a fun time.

Today is the day that Shamrock, the little buckling I am selling, goes to his new home. I weaned him and his twin from their mother earlier in the week. They were two months this week, Shamrock didn't really cry much, Rootbeer, the twin and wither, has cried all week. Makes me tempted to put him back with his mother but I want her to dry up, she jumped the fence right after she had her babies last summer and got pregnant again so she is in need of a good long rest before breeding season. Rootbeer will just have to go it on his own, so more crying in our future. I am excited to meet the new owner, she is definitely a crazy goat lady. She has called me several times with tales of her own farm. I am curious to meet her, crazy goat ladies are always such fun. I know several all unique and fun in there own right, and all goat crazy.

So today, Poppie and I will work on rafters, I am always glad when Poppie doesn't do potentially dangerous things when I am not here. Poppie can be a dare devil and does need a voice of reason on some things. So glad he vegged yesterday. It is a bit rainy today, so we will see what we accomplish, maybe it will be indoor things which is just as well. The rafters will still be there when it is no longer raining..... tomorrow.
