I am gradually working my way through your wonderful posts with great interest. I once had two yellow labs,Ben and Sam, but sadly they are in doggy heaven now. They were both eights weeks old when I first got them (but they were not brothers) and lived with us for 12 and 14 years. So I have a soft spot for labs. <BR/>I am also hoping to get some chickens in the spring, but I havent made mind up on what breed, although battery hens on defintly on the short list. Ive heard lots of good tales about them and what they get up to. There are so many of them that need good homes and Im sure I could provide this.<BR/>It was great to here you used to sail your boat at Chichester. Its a wonderful harbour, especially for bird watching. My Father too once had a boat, which was moored in the marina and we spent many a happy day sailing round the IOW and the Solent etc.<BR/> Thank you again for leaving me a such a lovely comment. Its been good to talk to you and Best Wishes to you. Catch up soon.

Reading this post has made me want to get some goats on our smallholding too... and here was me thinking that goats do smell. Thank you for putting that idea straight. Not that I am a "shrinking violet" when it comes to animals and smell... one does get used to it and actually I quite like the smell of my sheep and even the hens (when their house is newly cleaned, mind you!)<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your always so sweet comments in my blog. I love reading them and am so glad you have taken the time to visit and to write them.

Goodness, your vocabulary is very good and I can assure you that it is at least a zillion times better than my Portugese vocabulary... I'm enjoying your blog so thank you!

There are very old trees here, in São Paulo, Brazil, because of the tropical forest that there was here. Nowadays just very old trees in some parks and clubs. As far as the goats are concerned, it is very interesting. Thanks for visiting my blog. Although I am an English teacher, I know I have to improve my vocabulary. I like the Deedee´s blog, too. <BR/>Best wishes,<BR/>RosanaThe lady in Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17760688385414194057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139557916921221901.post-54776762828316665482009-02-22T17:47:00.000+00:002009-02-22T17:47:00.000+00:00Deedee - I hope you manage to have one of these be...Deedee - I hope you manage to have one of these beautiful goats - apparently they are on the 'Endangered species list' - which is such a shame - let's hope they manage to continue and to thrive.<BR/><BR/>Maureen - I hadn't heard the one about the cans to be honest - but I do know that they will happily eat most things... but the mind boggles about cans!<BR/><BR/>Hi Pondside - Your goats sound delightful!

In truth our goats do nothing at all but give us pleasure, as one is a neutered male and the other a neutered female - both rescues. They are the funniest creatures!Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139557916921221901.post-3952811080874804732009-02-22T02:32:00.000+00:002009-02-22T02:32:00.000+00:00Another thing about goats is they eat almost anyth...Another thing about goats is they eat almost anything. That old joke about them and tin cans has some truth to it. There was a pair on farm I spent a summer at and we had to be careful about what we left lying out. But they love stale bread and such, so no need to worry about them being picky eaters, and they are very, very cute.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671965875944032395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139557916921221901.post-23354689418091231202009-02-21T17:50:00.000+00:002009-02-21T17:50:00.000+00:00Oh Veronica!

Now that she has gone to college the pony is here alone. I have been told that ponies and horses really like goats for companions and I have actually thought about getting one or two...
