Blog Slacker Part 3 ~ Things to Love About Fall

Things to love about fall...

Breeding season! Bellowing does, blubbering bucks, the clingy odor of the rut hangs heavy in the air.  As usual the does did not cooperate with my ideas for the breeding plan, we will have kids scattered towards the end of February through mid-March. We are happy to wash and put away our stinky breeding coveralls and there will be no more goaty-dates in my new car this year. The breeding page on the website is up to date, here is the link: http://www.capralane.com/planned-breedings

Beautiful blue fall skies, ever-changing leafy displays, living in the country where raking is optional. . . 

Resourceful postal workers. In the city that box would've blown away.

Hemi. . . our latest rescue. He has a total of 27 toes, fitting, given my profession... Hemi is short for Hemingway, who is partially credited with bringing the trait of paddle-foot or polydactyly,  in cats to the US.  Hemi is now fully recovered from pneumonia and life on the streets and growing well. He will be a barn cat, eventually.... He really loves the couch right now. 

Tinder...the dog who hates everyone (but me!) loves Hemi. They wrestle and snuggle 24/7. T-dog is deadly but loves kittens...who knew?

After a few late night stake outs and shoot outs, we finally got the little bastard who took up residence in our chicken coop. No chicken attacks but several dozen broken eggs later, we got him! The best part is, we didn't get sprayed. Neither did the dogs nor the cats. A few stray bullet holes in the chicken coop (oops...it was dark!) should make it look more threatening to future intruders.
"Take that, trespasser!"
