September

Labor day fun in the creek. This was taken in the Cherokee National Forrest on Tellico Creek.

They ended up looking really bright...

...and Tanner had lots of fun!

It was a little chilly because it was so shady

I just love having puppies...it seems like every day they get cuter

Poor momma is overworked with all those babies.

The kittens have decided to use my porch as a playground...unfortunately they are making a real mess in the process.

Moving all those puppies to a new pen was an interesting endeavor...

...they really didn't want to stay in the wagon.

We got our boar pig at the end of the month.  He is a Berkshire and his name is Ego Trip II. His grandfather is the grand champion Ring of Fire...or so I was told. I guess to some people this means something. All it means to me is that I will have little baby piglets and will eventually be able to put some pork in the freezer.

He is really big and intimidating...I don't think I am going in that pen anymore.

A few weeks later and the kittens are getting big already. They are at the cute stage now

They are already getting big...

...and so darn cute.

And they are already trying to guard the sheep.

We had to make a pen for the puppies that Sheba could get in and out of but the puppies couldn't. Madison is so good at making these spur of the moment things with whatever we have lying around.

The puppies really weren't happy about being stuck in there though.

Happy pigs laying in the mudhole.
