It’s been raining and raining all this past week, but the sun finally came out and I went wild with the baby goat pictures. They’re all too cute for words right now! Oh, and I have not captured any photos of this, but Petunia has been the BEST babysitter ever! I frequently see her laying in … Continue reading And the sun came out! →

Nubbin was as excited about the snow as Cuzco (that is, not much!), and she opted to stay indoors while Auntie Petunia took the kids out to play in their first snow. Petunia adores these babies and I only hope she doesn’t start suckling them. So far she’s drawn the line on that one, but … Continue reading Wheeeee! It’s a snow day!!! →

Last night Phil got to hold TWO baby goats during the movie! I was holding the popcorn bowl in my lap and didn’t want to risk dropping it, so Phil got double the fun!   The little guys are doing awesome, and Auntie Petunia is a great babysitter for them when Nubbin gets out for … Continue reading Dual Goatage →

Time for a cute baby goat fix! Sledge: Hammer: Snack break. The bucket challenge! Ooooozing down the rock face. These stairs were a great source of entertainment yesterday afternoon, offering many opportunities for leaping, tumbling, pushing, playing “King of the Hill,” and other new activities. It’s funny how the herd dynamics change when new babies … Continue reading It’s raining outside… →

Nubbin left her babies in the shed and went to graze in the paddock last night, and since I couldn’t bear the thought of these sweet babies alone in a cold, dark world (or even a warm, dark shed), I put them in a box and brought them in the house to watch a movie … Continue reading Media Kids →

Everyone did well through the night and our little guys are now tottering curiously around the yard on unsteady legs. The other goats were intrigued but left them to their own devices after a brief sniff. These are definitely Finn’s babies! They look just like him, and not only in color. The have their daddy’s strong football … Continue reading First morning on the planet →

At least, that’s the aura Nubbin gave off this evening when she popped these two little boys out with no help and minimal effort. Meet “Sledge” and “Hammer”! I was kind of rooting for the one with the doughnut on his forehead to be called “Dunkin,” but Phil overruled me. Nubbin did great! She spent … Continue reading “Trust me, I know what I’m doing” →

We had a foot of snow last night on top of the foot we already had, and we plowed and shoveled it away just in time for it to start snowing again. I think we’re supposed to get another foot tonight. Whew! Pac-Man helped me haul water out to the boys’ pen tonight. I loaded … Continue reading Snow Day! →

And let’s not forget dear, sweet Nubbin. I dried her off a few weeks ago, and she should be about half-way through her pregnancy now. She’s due May 2nd. Someone asked me last week how her tail got broken. Well, it never did (or else it came broken) because it’s had that kink in it … Continue reading And a few extras… →
