I unfortunately left Billy out on his run last night and fell asleep, Billy is typically a very quiet dog but last night he obviously became very upset that he wasn’t laying in bed with his mom (me) and started to bark. Billy was brought inside and curled up in bed and not another peep was heard from him.
For any of our neighbors that lost any sleep due to this Billy and his mom (me) want to sincerely apologize. As a mom of three humans, three dogs and lots of goats I understand the importance of sleep and hate to think we are the reason some of you are unable to get a good nights sleep!
I also want to apologize in advance for the next few weeks where we might have a few rowdy goats as they start to go into heat. And Artemis (dog) who is doing her job by barking at any creatures when she is outside. She is just making sure to keep all of our gardens and livestock safe in this part of the neighborhood 🩷
The good new is, we should be moving in a month or less and all the animals are coming with us! In the meantime if you could just bear with us for a little bit longer we promise to be out of your hair and to stop messing with your sleep!
Although I can’t offer you anything at the moment due to some unforeseen circumstances that caused us to stop cheese production early this year, I am more than happy to offer you all a little goody bag of cheese once we get up and running next year to thank you all for putting up with us. Just shoot me a message 🧀
I also wanted to clear up a few assumptions made in a voicemail I was left around midnight last night.
• our dog does not have separation anxiety, he was just mad he wasn’t in bed (creature of habit)
• we have owned Billy for 6 years. Our newest dog was brought here last winter. We have not added a dog in the past 30 days.
• our dogs are very happy
• I have lived here my whole life (27 years) and we have always had dogs as well as many of our neighbors. I’m not sure why it is assumed that now in this past month I have turned our “once quiet neighborhood” into something other than that.
Packing up more of the house today for the big move!
