Smoked Pork Roast

We had a pork roast on the smoker yesterday. It stayed on a little longer than necessary because we were working on sheep, but it was still excellent.

 Originally Lisa talked about doing pulled pork with it but we had slices with baked potato.

 Maybe she'll pull the next one.

 Lisa was painting the boards for her new flower boxes. The dog by the refrigerator is Lady. She is a rescue we are fostering. They say she came from an animal hoarder.

 Ivy is in seclusion while she recovers from a parasite. She went to the vet on Tuesday. She was in the trailer Tuesday night and was doing better Wednesday so we added the panels so she could come out and graze. The sliding door on the trailer is open and she hops in there for shelter. Her babies were a little over six weeks so they got weaned early.

  We think she has the same thing that killed Lulu last month. We hope she pulls through, she's a good ewe. She was Lisa's first bottle lamb. She seems to be doing better. She's up on her feet and she's eating.

 Lady came to us through Sheltie rescue. She's overweight and someone hacked her hair off. She has a good disposition and gets along with the other dogs. They move a lot faster than she does so she has trouble keeping up with them.

 Lisa has bathed her three times in the two weeks she's been here and combed all the mats out. She came with the name Lady. Lisa was going to call her Caddy. I wanted to name her Lotta, as in "That's a Lotta dog". That didn't go over too well, so Lady it is.
