Things aren't going so hot with milking Ellie. She is a real Nervous Nellie about Tricksie and then with this being her first time with milking. I know it's gonna take time but boy do I miss just diddy boppin in and ploppin myself down to milk without any hassles. I keep telling myself I'm just spoiled because my others were already broken in. It will get better, it will get better, it will get better....
DH has offered to help me this evening if it isn't too late when he gets home. He see's that I am getting really frustrated and since Ellie "loves him" (as he calls it) maybe things will go better. He asked me this morning if I rubbed the top of her tail, etc. I just looked at him (you know the look) and said how am I suppose to do that and milk and the same time. I'm a thinking he's feeling sorry for me or maybe a little guilty because she likes him it seems more than me. I don't care what it is, guilty or sorry feeling I just need something! ;D ;D
Have to tell you what he said this morning. A little back ground first. See, I have been bringing him his coffee to him in the bathroom after I get done doing whatever of a morning and we also usually talk then too. Anyway, now that Ellie has had Tricksie I have been spending more time at the barn of the mornings so he's missing his coffee and conversation (as he calls it). This morning I was comming back to the barn as he was going out to the truck to leave. Anyway, he said I see where I rate, I'm down here and Ellie and Tricksie are up here (picture one hand at your knees and the other up by your face). I asked what do you mean? and he said I'm not getting my coffee and conversation. Do you think he's a little spoiled? ;D
That's all for now. ;D
