The Mopple Chronicles: July 2009
http://themopplechronicles.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2009. Mopple moves outdoors (part-time). Not much has happened the past few days as it’s been very hot and humid and I’ve been under the weather with an oogy tummy. He tries to interact with the sheep when I have him loose in the yard with me (I pick him up when the adult goats are nearby, lest they butt him). Most of the ewes and wethers accept him but the spring lambs think he’s scary and stomp their feet to warn him away. This morning I left the door to the walk-in closet open (it&...

The Mopple Chronicles: December 2009
http://themopplechronicles.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 30, 2009. I apologize for not posting anything new for quite awhile. With everything going on here the past two months or so, I haven't engaged in much small ruminant training. Still, this will remain The Mopple Chronicles. He’s such a sweet, lover boy; he deserves this spotlight. Another of our animal children in the spotlight is our Nubian buck, Martok, who blogs at the Hobby Farms Online website ( www.hobbyfarms.com/hobby-farms-editorial-blogs/sue-weaver/default.aspx. Classic Chevi...

The Mopple Chronicles: June 2011
http://themopplechronicles.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 23, 2011. It's been well over a year since I posted an entry to Mopple's blog. Mostly because I stopped working with him but I plan to start again, so here we are. I might also begin working with one of my woolly wethers. One, a 3-year-old black Classic/Miniature Cheviot wether called Baart, is an in-your-pocket sheep and unusually bold and smart, so although he isn't very big, he's a logical choice.

The Mopple Chronicles: Baamadeus' turn at bat
http://themopplechronicles.blogspot.com/2010/01/baamadeus-turn-at-bat.html
Saturday, January 16, 2010. Baamadeus' turn at bat. We trimmed the rams' hooves today and then left them in the yard for the morning. When they congregated by the main sheep fold, it quickly became obvious that Baannie is in heat. After the guys went in and the ewes came out, she hung out by New Ramsgate, so I decided to breed her to Baama. Baannie (Wolf Moon Macha) is one of my oldest and best-producing ewes and also a Baasha daughter, so we’ll be inbreeding to Baasha with this mating. We̵...Now I h...

The Mopple Chronicles: The Last Farewell
http://themopplechronicles.blogspot.com/2010/01/last-farewell.html
Tuesday, January 26, 2010. I’ve blogged about this at Inside Storey and (as Martok) at Mondays With Martok ( http:/ www.hobbyfarms.com/hobby-farms-editorial-blogs/sue-weaver/absent-friends.aspx. But I have to tell it one more time. On Wednesday, January 20, 2010, Baasha and Dodger departed together for sheep heaven. I invite you to visit Baasha’s memorial page at my Dreamgoat Annie Web site ( www.dreamgoatannie.com/BaashaMemorial.html. Good-bye old friends—you are sorely missed. I've always wanted to tea...

The Mopple Chronicles: November 2009
http://themopplechronicles.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 24, 2009. Sorry I’ve been neglecting my blogs. John is visiting his extended family in Indiana for the holiday and between doing the chores and everyday upkeep and chipping away at. And my Hobby Farms assignments, blogging completely slipped my mind. BUT, here is my big news: I got the go-ahead from Storey to submit a proposal for. To say I’m thrilled is an understatement. I began working on the proposal yesterday and am having the time of my life. I’ve tried to find out, but no l...

The Mopple Chronicles: (Getting back to) Taking care of business.
http://themopplechronicles.blogspot.com/2010/04/getting-back-to-taking-care-of-business.html
Sunday, April 4, 2010. Getting back to) Taking care of business. I’m back to blogging after a long hiatus. I’ve been awfully busy this winter and the old ones’ deaths took the wind out of my sails. Today would have been Baasha’s 14th birthday. I really miss that sweet old girl. Let there be lambs! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). People think sheep are stupid and it just isn't so! I've always wanted to teach one to pull a cart or wagon to show just how smart sheep can be. Now I have Mopple, Dorper-Kat...

The Mopple Chronicles: October 2009
http://themopplechronicles.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 31, 2009. Everything is awfully soggy but we got outdoors and the animals loved it. Here’s an update picture of Mopple I took while he was grazing—not a good one but it shows his new, woolly coat. I shot this picture of Jadzia and one of my little Cheviot wethers (Baaxter) today. Jadzia is doing her “let’s smash our heads together” warm-up dance while a bemused Baaxter thinks, “What is wrong with this loony goat? Thursday, October 29, 2009. A peek at Ancon sheep. 8220;So, Farmer Wright ...
