Ahh - don’t do this to me! So much to do, so little time and you’ve uploaded the cast early !!!!!! Actually, It’s a good thing to have it early - I can listen to it on my way to my knitting group (all the hoo-hah of the past few weeks that threateded to blow us apart has been settled - who said knitting was boring?). Like yourself, Misty, I listen to a large number of casts, buy GFL is definitely my favourite - I am even putting my current audiobook to one side to listen to it this morning! My close second favourite is Downshiftme, with MAtt and AJ. Right, off to listen, have a great day in rrrurrral Indiana (just rollong my r’s for you - ‘r’s not ‘ar**’!

Good cast. as usual! So, how qquickly do the mums’n'babies settle down once they’ve been separated? I know you said that they don’t seem as maternal as some animals, but it must be a bit of a shock to go through that and then baby is whisked away.
The mastitis treatment had me cringing with almost every fiber of my being. This is probably too much info, but let’s just say I’m glad I got the oral antibiotics……;0)

Hehe Matt!

I’m glad you enjoyed the early podcast! :)

The doe’s usually stop bellowing within a day. Though cream would always hang out beside the kid pen. Baby didn’t give a darn at all.

Heh, tmi! ;)

Hey, I cheer every time a new episode hits my iTunes!

Silicon nipples are best! If you use plastic, you will impart phthalates, which are like hormones and are responsible for poor development and possible birth defects.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phthalates
Note: http://www.phthalates.org/ is an industry group to promote the use of phthalates and to fight against banning them.

Your comments remind me so much of the series (in print and on PBS) “All Creatures Great and Small” by the veterinarian James Herriot. In fact, everything you talked about was covered in the series. Nice job!

Just stopping by to wish Misty an early HAppy Birthday - if I waited till Thursday I’d end up forgetting. So, Andrew, hope you’ll spoil her rotten, perhaps a good start would be allowing her a lie-in by doing all her early morning chores…..?

Thanks for the birthday wishes. :) I’m so egotistical — my birthday is my favorite day of the year!

Thanks for the birthday wishes!

India, please explain to Andrew what a “lie-in” is. He thinks it is a reference to sex, but I told him it is just sleeping late in the morning. Men….

LMAO - that is SO typical of a man. Doesn’t matter what I say to Mr India - he always interprets it in a certain way….yep, a lie-in is just that - getting to lie late in bed. The best lie in is one where you wake up every now and again, stick your nose out of the duvet and snuggle right back under for more snoozing. The very best lie in is as above, but enhanced by the pleasure of knowing that your partner is freezing his butt off doing your chores and will shortly be bringing breakfast in bed;0) Enjoy!

Hi Ellen!

As of show 56 we had:

Babs: 2 (I think, it was a sheep, I can’t tell them apart)
Cream: 2
Baby: 2

Last night Ewenice (the other sheep) had 1.

So it’s up to 7 at the moment.

Okay I -thought- Cream had her kids, but for some reason I missed how many she had. Thank heavens it wasn’t quads again.

Thanks, Donna!

Andrew let me sleep in (have a lie-in), AND he made me breakfast, AND he told me to take a friend out to lunch, AND he is cooking dinner for me! What a great guy. :)

…and of course he paid for lunch for both of you….?

Guess Andrew’ll be barring me from commenting soon ;0)

Haha! Yes, he offered to pay for it. The friend actually paid though (which was sweet of her).

Geez, it’s just a birthday, people! :)

Hmmm - Andrew is cooking your favourite meal - well, I haven’t much of a clue, but I’m wondering if it features goat in it somewhere?
