Piggies thinning out more, two does go to forever homes, Foster brings his family.

I took two piggies out to their new home, Herbalist was so excited to have them.  She gave me two cool knitting books, they were new exciting copies of all sock patterns. I can't wait to delve into them.  I was telling her about something I had seen on one of her goats that needs a bit of medical administration so offered to go help her with it today so will be going out this morning to help assist her with her goaties.  She has a guest at her house that used to be a jeweler in Florida.  He and I had a nice long conversation about carving, scrimshaw, pen and ink.  He was a very nice older gentlemen, I might be showing him some of my work and taking some advise.  I don't often get to talk to someone who has carved ivory on a small scale like I get to sometimes so can't wait to have the input. 

Foster came to visit, I hadn't seen him since the mid nineties when he had just meant his current wife.  They came for a visit.  They have got three kids, one 12 and one both Yogie's and Booboo's ages.  They also have a foster daughter that is friends with Flower so that was a nice coincidence.  We had a nice visit, showed them all the animals.  Showed the kids how to milk goats, let them taste goats milk,  Foster, Mom and the two littlest kids liked it, the older two not so much.  They have just moved here and are care taking a 320 acre farm land area so had lots of room for a couple of goats to run.  They ended up taking two of the little does home for the kids.  I hope it is a good mix, there are some coyotes up in that area.  They are actually out near Herbalist and the Professor. It was a real nice visit and the kids, including Mokie were so excited to have them here.

I got a call from the Crazy Goat Lady from Polson and will be going up on Saturday to pick up my two little does.  She is so excited to have us come see her place.  She is soon to be moving to her dream property and building a little home of her own, she will have twenty acres to enjoy her animals and live at her own pace.  I get to pick out which ever does I want from her abundant crop which will be so much fun.  I can't wait to see them all, she described ones I can't wait to see.  Off to help our Herbalist then return to milk, hopefully by 11, kids coming then. Booboo and Boy are going on a field trip to Zootown today so busy day here.... tomorrow.
