We have just a few more days before some of our ram lambs go to market. We are sad to see them go, but they are fulfilling a noble purpose.

Introducing the newest addition to the RC fleet--the UMX Timber. This is what they call a micro-flyer. Very small but a fully functional aircraft with ailerons, elevater, rudder and even flaps. It's considered a STOL airplane (Short Take Off & Landing). It also has nav lights, rotating beacon, and strobe landing lights. Very cool. I absolutely love this little plane and it flies exceptionally well. Small enough to fly in tight places, I've even wrung her out in front of the house.  This was the last straw. Gigi had another litter of kittens, six in all. We found them tucked away under the stock tank in the ewe's pen. We already have too many cats from her last batch. Upon discovering the new brood, we quickly took the opportunity to put the new kittens in a crate. Gigi, of course, did not hesitate to climb into the crate to be with her young. We closed the door and everyone was safely captured. A short car ride to Safe Harbor in Kenosha and our cat problem is no more. The people assured us at the shelter that they will have no trouble adopting out these kittens once they were weaned. They were also confident that Gigi will grow tame in time to be adopted out as well. All's well that ends well. Goodbye Gigi and little kitties.  The long wait is over. The time has come today for Fabio to join the ewes for some extracurricluar activity. Breeding has begun. And we're sure that our ram will once again do his job--a job he thoroughly enjoys, by the way.   |
