1. Leave the gate unlatched so the goats get out and mess up the grain room and/or get bloat from ingesting too much grain. Then have get a workout while you massage their bellies and give them dawn liquid dish detergent.
2. Purchase a cunning male alpaca that manages to slip under the fence, break through to the girl's pen and breed with your maiden females!
3. Let the horses run into the barn vs. using a halter and lead rope when turning in at night only to have them refuse to come to their stalls while you run around and try to catch them.
4. Buy Silkies in order to get eggs, and don't. Plus realize later that they don't roost on their own. Trudge down to the barn in the dark for the 57th time that day to put the chicks away for the night.
5. Spend 3 days planning and preparing to trap feral cat to take to Carol's Ferals for spaying. Realizing later that she is the same one you took 3 weeks ago.
If you don't have fun changing up your routine with these refreshing ideas...Then something is seriously wrong!
Awe... my heart goes out to you. Sometimes you just have to laugh.
ReplyDeleteHopefully tomorrow will be a less interesting day. ;-)
If it makes you feel any better, city life can feel the same way sometimes! Substitute the goat for an ornery dog and add in a toddler who runs like a blender with no lid :)
ReplyDeleteAbout the ferals ... don't they get one ear clipped, so you can identify them as already neutered? I've taken a few of my strays in for TNR, and they get an ear clipped. One of them managed to regrow the clipped ear, but the others stayed clipped.
