On Baby Watch!!

My two pregnant does will be having their babies any time now.  Hope (white) was due yesterday, the 30th, and Penny (black) is due April 2nd.
They are starting to show signs.  I'm thinking Easter babies would be fun!

They aren't very active lately.  lol  Because I just purchased the girls a few weeks ago, I am really looking forward to getting to know their true personalities, not their can't move, don't wanna move personalities.  They sure are love bugs though.  Like two little puppy dogs.  So different from my other two does, Daisy and Lou Lou.  Those two are starting to come around.  They will come up to you and touch you but it has to be on THEIR terms.  Don't move to quickly and don't try to touch them.  

My poor Daisy had a miscarriage last week.  I happened to be at the barn hanging out with the girls and I saw her mucous plug hanging and then a little later she had a large gush like her water broke.  She was still running around though.  We actually didn't think she was even pregnant because she never really got big.  I kept looking for a baby but never saw anything.  A couple days later one of the dogs found the miscarriage.  It was a tiny thing and  not formed well. 

You can see, Daisy is feeling great and back to playing.  She is constantly at the fence line that separates the bucks and the others.  She misses the boys and seems to be in "the mood" again. 

I had all the boys together in one paddock and the girls in another.  I decided to move the whethers (Bo and Luke) in with the girls.  Actually, Daisy was in with the bucks too because it seemed to us that she couldn't get pregnant. The boys LOVE being over with the girls.  The girls seem to be happy to have more goats to play with too.  

Bo is on the barrel and Luke is on the right. Talk about your friendly puppy dog type goats.  lol  Bo is such a ham.  What a trouble maker he is!  My granddaughter loves to play with Bo.  He follows her all around the yard and even into the house!  

My GD wanted Bo to spend the night in the house with her but mean old grammy said no to that.  lol  She can play with him outside all she wants!  

 This was before Bo went in with the Daisy and Lou Lou.  He kept escaping from his pen, jumping the fence and not always successfully.  A couple times, thank God I was down there, I found him with his foot stuck on the fencing.  I had to pick him up and get his foot free.  Fortunately, he is not very heavy.

Friendly goat over load for Alicia!  LOL  

Sometimes I sit back and shake my head.  If you had told me last year that I would have 11 goats and more on the way, I would say you're crazy!  Now....I'd take more!  

Oh, I guess I have 10 goats now.  Little Man, one of Lou Lou's twins, went to his new home.

Here he is showing off to Penny.  He and his sister, Luna, would crawl through the red gate and play outside the paddock.  

He is so stinkin' cute.  I guess he has been escaping at his new home and they had to catch him with a big net.  He's a screamer too so their poor neighbors probably thought they were killing goats over there.  haha

 My Pug, Zomer, checking Lou Lou out.  The show down.  Zomer has gotten head butted a few times but she still insists on going in and checking them out.  She is more cautious though.  I only let her in if I'm right there with her.

 This is DJ.  Soaking up some rays on a nice day.  Been a long winter for us all.

And it's snow bath time.  

Bo isn't the only one who gets into trouble.  Miss Hope had the bag stuck on her head.  I had to help her out.  haha

Looks like spring has finally sprung.  The filing cabinets are in full bloom.  haha

We had to take them out of the barn for the horses.  Most of them went down back but these we just made a "wall" with them.  Anyone need one?  Come haul them off.  Someone got a little carried away at a state auction and bought way too many of them and for some reason we ended up stuck with them.  UGH

Good night.  Happy Easter tomorrow.  And hopefully we will have babies SOON.  I'm not very good at waiting patiently.
