Yesterday we took Delilah out for a date. This is a young son of Nubbin’s father and I like him better than his daddy (even if he is just plain brown). He’s long and tall and I’m told his mother has a gorgeous udder. I don’t remember his name–it was one of those weird names … Continue reading Delilah’s Date →

Yesterday the sky was beautiful, and Delilah once more brought her kids along for our daily constitutional (Jezebel and her kids stayed home again). Phil no longer refers to Nubbin as having a “baby bump”. He’s calling it a “baby blimp”. Large and in charge! Heading home.

Delilah decided to bring her kids on our walk the other day! They were very excited and kept right up with the herd! They were a little scared of the big goats, but not because the big goats were mean. I think the little guys were just afraid of accidentally being trampled in all this mayhem. … Continue reading They’re running with the herd! →

I let everyone out into the Wide World today, and Jezebel immediately took her family and hid behind the house. I guess she’s doesn’t like the company we keep around here! The kids learned how to climb stairs! Their first hike… It was cool and shady behind the house, but perhaps a bit too cool … Continue reading Adventures in Babysitting →

We finally settled on names for the kids. Phil’s parents hosted a family trip to Florida back in March, and it was such fun we decided these kids should be named for some of the memories we made there. We’ll start with Delilah’s kids since they were born first. First we have the little doeling, Coral, … Continue reading Beach Bum Babies →

Actually, it was less dark since Jezebel went into labor a couple of hours earlier than Delilah did the night before. But it was definitely stormier! It turns out we got somewhere in the ballpark of 3-4 inches of rain in about 12 hours, so we were fortunate no one floated away. Jezebel, as is … Continue reading It was a darker and stormier night… →

Delilah puttered around all day not getting the job done, and just as it was beginning to get dark she finally settled down to business. She held out as long as possible until she thought Phil and I would surely not check on her again. She doesn’t like anyone to attend her births. But it’s a … Continue reading It was a dark and stormy night… →

I was going to post these yesterday but got distracted when Jezebel decided to kid a couple of days early. Phil and I were planning to take Finn and Sputnik for a hike on Sunday to celebrate our 17th anniversary, but rain kept us indoors most of the day. However, late in the afternoon the … Continue reading Seventeen years and fifteen goats later… →
