Soon!

It will be...soon.  

For the pig, and for Taffy.  

They are miserable...huge...uncomfortable...and due any day.

The piglets, we're ready for.  Mama has been in the maternity ward for over a month, since we didn't know when the actual due date was.  Razz is bred to Chips....or if she doesn't have those babies in short order, she was bred by her own brother.  Counting down the days to the point when Chips (on loan to a friend's farm) could no longer be the father, and it is only a week from now.  All of the sows and gilts that were supposed to be pregnant already were put in the pen with Mitch, when Chips went to Wisconsin...

Fingers crossed that Chips is the daddy!!!

For puppies...is anyone EVER ready?  But we are excited!  Taffy's official due date is July 30.  

Like last year's litter, these are Smoke babies.  Taffy is snippy and bossy, choosing to dig UNDER the old willow tree instead of dashing up the trunk to tear off bark....There is a cozy little den under one of the roots, but she will NOT be having the pups outside under the willow tree.

She is not thrilled with the presence of either Rocky or Remy, and definitey protecting her bedroom (OUR bedroom) from Rocky's intervention.  

Yup, all are the actions of a dog getting closer to her due date.

More farm babies, coming up soon!
