Elvis Spotted in Sosua

Elvis has been living up on the Finca now for a week and man has he grown in just one short week. When Maria and I drove up to the finca and parked he was on the other side of the finca and this is what he looks like going somewhere in a hurry after we called him:)

Man I get the chills just looking at this 10 week old German Shepherd. He is perfect in structure and moves with grace and ease. I plan on showing him in Dog shows here in the DR and maybe finishing him and getting him his Dominican Republic Championship in the show ring. I have enquired but don't know if they have obedience trials here which he will be better suited for since I plan on training him to be a working dog. Here he is at ease after we have hung out for a hour or so. At first he can't get enough of us and demands attention. Today I bought a brush for him and went back late afternoon to brush him. He looked like he go sprayed by a porcupine he had so much crap all over him. I got most of it out but I need to do this every day in order to get and keep him real spiffy. When he saw Maria he was beside himself and couldn't give her enough greetings. That is the puppy in him and that is why he is at the finca now when I didn't plan to bring him up until he was a bit older. He refused to be left alone in the Condo and cried like a little baby. I also needed a break with my sprained ankle which was difficult handling a puppy with such a sore foot. So my gentleman farm country home is starting to come completely together. I have a German Shepherd to herd my goats and sheep. I have 21 goats and now 3 sheep with many pregnant. By the end of the year I should be over 30 animals. My crops are doing great and I eat off the finca every day. Today I brought back ochra, tomatoes, yuca, peanuts and squash. This is what life is all about. One day I will be living on the finca and probably only venture off when I need something.

Hasta Pronto!

6 week old Baby Goat is HUGE

My little big guy here is only 6 weeks old. He is already trying to reproduce and I think he is going to grow up to be a beauty. I am thinking about keeping him for stud along with the other one I bought a few months ago called Meme. They will both be very big and this guy will NOT have horns where Meme has the biggest horns I have seen in this country.

This is a picture of my little big guy with 3 other 2 other gals and one boy who are at least 6-8 months old. He is as big as these guys and the one to his left is pregnant. This is the largest fasted growing goat I have seen. I love the differences in color on all these guys. They are all individuals and distintive. . Hasta Pronto!

Mary(a) had a little lamb

This is the first lamb born on the finca. This stunning guy is 1 day old and have very unusual coloring. Notice he is white and tan with a black bellie and legs. Unusual markings on his face also. Leads me to believe that it is possible the father is unknown. He looks a little like bad piece and a little like Kevin. Hmmm, I have to check on this! LOL

I have had sheep for about 2 years and now have the first baby. When I first got the mother she was very little and the male I bought at the same time died 2 months after he was at the farm and I didn't get a new guy until I moved to the new finca. I was expecting 2 but only had one. Worse than that he is a boy and not a girl to reproduce. I will have to go out and buy a couple of more gals to increase my flock. Hopefully I have enough mothers between the sheep and the goats to have babies every month. I know I have at least 5 goats pregnant now so hopefully we will be in babies all the time now. This is Maria or Mary(a) with the baby. You can see other small goats in the background.

LOL .

Hasta Pronto!
