Cookie Doe

Cookie Doe was the last of the yearling does to be shorn, you can't tell in the picture but she is black with a white belt, just like an oreo. She has tons of fine hair.Next up to be shorn are the three buck kids. Washed Twinkle's dark red fleece and dyed two mohair fleeces. Still got stuff to unpack. Made time to grill hot wings, roast red potatoes and pick a fresh salad for supper. Ate four meals out while at SAFF and none were very good, haven't eaten out since last years show. Turnip greens are cooking down tonight for tomorrow's meals. Sold the last of this spring's Cormo cross fleeces today, will be shearing the sheep the end of November or December. Something happened to KeeKee, my brown doe that makes soft, curly shawl yarn, while I was away. I found her Monday morning off to herself, she was wet so I knew she had not been able to get up and go in the barn during the storm we had early that morning. I cut a piece of plastic to sled her into a big pen in the barn. She is bright and perky, eating and drinking and pooping, can turn herself around and switch sides, but can't stand. I'll try to make a harness tomorrow to lift her so she can try to put weight on her legs.
