Trixie Had Her Babies!

Trixie had her kids last Friday!  Me and mom were gone, and Caleb was supposed to be watching so he could help her deliver - but he waited too long to check up on her and she had already given birth by the time he thought of it :P  They are so small even compared to how the other ones were!  There is one doe and one buck.  Trixie is such a good mama :)  We just pulled them off her this morning because someone wants to buy the buck already.  He's getting picked up tomorrow so I want him to have some idea of what the bottle is :P Here are some pics - the dark one is the girl (that I'm keeping) and the colorful one is the boy - these are when they were just born:

This is a couple days later:

Snuggling :)

Me bottle feeding the little girl

Tomorrow someone is coming to pick up my buck, mom's doe kid, and Cheyenne.  A really nice girl is getting Chey for an endurance horse, she wanted one like her to do the 100 mile race!  She really loved her and we talked her dad into getting the two goats by having him hold one and watching him fall in love :P

So they are coming in the early afternoon and we'll go on a ride so she can see how Chey does outside and then they'll take them all away....

Pics Of The Goat Kids

We are still waiting for Trixie to have her kids - she has all the signs (swollen vulva, bagged up, being unusually affectionate, stomping, etc.) but she's not going into labor.  So I'll probably miss choir because I have to stay around and watch. Tilly and Dottie's babies are SO cute I just had to put these pics on here - even though you already know what they look like :)

We were bothering poor Trixie with the cat :)

Bowling Night

Friday night we went bowling in Misuli for Nick DeMyer's birthday!  I had never gone before and I was sure I'd embarrass myself and mess up terribly!  But it was actually SO fun!  I was pretty near the bottom but I got a strike once.  It wasn't till near the end that I realized Hallie was taking pics of me - so I made her send them to me :) She sent mostly pics of me but you get the point :) lol

Happy birthday Nick!

Hallie, Sabrina and me

Dottie's Baby!

Dottie had her little baby a while ago.  It is a really big buck :) He has him sold already as a breeding buck.  We had been checking up on her every hour or so because we figured she was going to have her kid today.  Caleb went out there and she was fine - then the next time we went there was a little kid standing on the ice, very cold and trembling (it has been about 15 to 20 degrees all day).  He was SO chilled, mom brought him in and gave him a hot water bath, and blew him off with the hair drier next to the fireplace - after awhile he warmed back up and we put him back out with Dottie.  Oh and he has cute little waddles under his chin like his mamma! :)  He is standing now and looking for the milk - he hasn't found it yet - looking on the wrong end...lol

Ya like Caleb's minion shirt? :)

 Here's Tilly and her babies - Dottie's buck is already bigger by a lot! :)
