Talking A few of my LEAST favorite things!

You know the other song? the one Julie Andrews sang? Well if I were rewriting right now, the song would include how I can't stand:

racoons and foxes and hen-eating critters
our 90 pound 7 month old lab's "yard-covering sh*&^%tters"
the mud that now covers the goat-yard entry way and gates
these are a few of the things that I hate

The flies that won't die despite temps in the 20's
"You've got too many goats" comments from my honey
Goats that only eat half of their hay
And then on the rest they poop and they lay

OK, NOW SOMEONE ELSE ADD ON....I just came in from feeding and dealt with stepping in dog doo, kind of set me off. Happy New Year almost!

goaties whose horns they cannot stop hitting
buckets destroyed, or where they've been sitting
doelings in heat, whethers frustrated
fencing thats torn, destroyed or un-gated

worming, and hoof trims
slipped collars and lumps
mysterious, scary, and prob'ly not mumps...

udders uneaven and not giving milk
backwards twin bucklings that won't slip like silk
the roses are eaten
that really stings
these are a few of my LEAST favorite things.....
