It's been a good week all around

Funny how a bad week can be followed by an extremely good week. Of course the puppies were the highlight of the week and they continue to do well. We took them to the vet on Thursday and they all got a clean bill of health. Gizmo has finally decided that she wants to spend 10 minutes every couple of hours racing around the back yard to give herself a break.

Today we put together a whelping box for her which gives her much more room and there is less chance the puppies will get squashed and scream when she moves around.

Other news included a possible solution to our septic tank problems in the Milk Barn. The farm has an old lagoon that can be restored, and all the liquid waste directed to it from the milking room. As for a human toilet, the PMO allows us to use a chemical toilet, so we might be able to do everything for the cost of some drain/pipe laying and the acquisition of a pump. More on that as we get info.

First up we need to get the old lagoon/pit emptied so we can see if any of the original pipes drain into it. Hopefully thats a simple enough job we can have done next week.
