LOL!
Maybe reicheru is busy taking pictures of BABIES for us! :banana02:

reicheru 12/01/08 10:01 PM

Dorkwad has yet to pop out wee little dorkwads in training. -headdesk- I let her out into the big pen with everyone else... thinking, hey, maybe chasing the big kids around will get things going. ARG! nothing and the vet isn't worried yet... he wants to give her another week. I stuck a baby monitor and camera in there... bawhahahaha no way am I sleeping out there in the cold.

Minelson 12/01/08 11:14 PM

Would the babies be called Dorkweeds maybe? ;)
Good thing you got the camera..I remember many a night making that trek through the snow to the barn just to have Gretta look at me like I was nutso.

MInelson, I know the look you are talking about. The first barn my husband built for me didn't have power so I bought a really farmy, Little House on the Prairie lantern from Lehman's for my barn light. And every two hours I would dress all up and light my little lantern to go out and have my does look at me like I was a complete moron. Good times.

Reicheru, don't you have a full day in the city planned sometime soon? That's the day! Woohoo!:banana02:

Yes Cara, every 2 hours for me too. I would check them at 10pm, set the alarm for 12, 2, 4, 6am. I wore my clothes to bed so I would just have to throw on the coat, boots and mittens. The horses were annoyed with me also...they would get up in the beginning but as time went on they just laid there. :)

AlyCarm 12/02/08 11:42 AM

I can't wait a week! LOL Tell that goat to get it in gear, I'm dying of excitement for you.

reicheru 12/02/08 12:51 PM

hahahaha now I just flip the TV on. So much easier now. She's actually in a big hoop hut with an extension cord run out there [complete with light, camera, and baby monitor hooked up].


yeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssss... Dorkwads have dorkweeds... how very forgetful of me. bawhahaha

Minelson 12/02/08 03:41 PM

You know you are in a race with Chris30523 for baby pictures ;) you better get on Dorkwad to start pushing..

reicheru 12/02/08 03:53 PM

haha maybe if I tell her that she's racing another doe to motherhood, she'll do something...

Goat Servant 12/02/08 04:12 PM

No no no dont tell her a thing they will have a contest on who can hold out the longest!

reicheru 12/02/08 04:15 PM

goooooood point! hahahahahaha

reicheru 12/03/08 03:59 PM

Nothing yet... though I noticed today when she was standing on the fencing eating from the round bale that she's now 'hanging open' a bit back there.

yarrow 12/03/08 05:11 PM

oh my! still waiting? .... I had a doe due tomorrow. She popped out twins (boy/girl) early this morning. She was so quick that we didn't miss a minute worth or sleep waiting for hers... maybe you'll have some soon.
good luck

Yarrow, did you post pictures? I didn't see them! Congratulations! :)

Reicheru, I think she will have them tonight for sure!:happy:

reicheru 12/03/08 08:19 PM

ahahaha that's what I thought last week.

chris30523 12/04/08 12:34 PM

Well?? I am still waiting for mine??How about you??

reicheru 12/04/08 02:14 PM

stiiiiiiiiill nothing... ahahahaha I stopped grabbing her butt since she's gotten so sdfsdgfsdfasd

chris30523 12/04/08 02:45 PM

Maybe we'll get kids for christmas.Mine turns her butt away from me when I come near.

Minelson 12/04/08 02:53 PM

Just so ya know...I started pacing at Thanksgiving and Gretta finally gave in on JAN 16th!!!!
I got so sick of saying...no, not yet. I think everyone thought I was nut case. I know I drove this forum crazy...especially when all of a sudden I was terrified that she wasn't pregos after all and my Mom had already knitted a baby goat sweater!! I can't believe it's been a year...so hang in there reicheru and Chris.. keep us posted...
BTW...I think they both will have their babies before this weekend ;)

reicheru 12/04/08 03:39 PM

she's definitely not as active as she used to be... though she has learned to enjoy bowling the big kids into the electric fence. dafsdfsdf

reicheru 12/04/08 09:15 PM

We have agitation tonight... This is probably the most active I've seen her in a while... now if she would kindly keep herself in frame of the video, I'll be much appreciative.

Kittikity 12/04/08 09:17 PM

You kidding?! The WHOLE THING is going to happen out of frame and you'll wake up to fluffy babies and missed it..

Goat Servant 12/04/08 09:21 PM

Kittikity is right. Dorkwad wont stay where you can see her.

Kittikity 12/04/08 09:23 PM

Is her name really Dorkwad? lol

reicheru 12/04/08 09:27 PM

hahahaha no... but I think she's getting a name change.

Minelson 12/04/08 10:41 PM

I think you better trudge out there every 2 hours tonight...its a happinin ;)

crazygoatgal 12/05/08 09:23 AM

Well???

ShyAnne 12/05/08 11:34 AM

Do we have new Kids yet???

reicheru 12/05/08 01:26 PM

Noooooooooooo... RAWR!

reicheru 12/05/08 05:29 PM

reicheru 12/05/08 06:12 PM

'not to buy any critters'

FAMOUS LAST WORDS. bawhahahahaha god how many times have I told myself that.

~NY_Cowgirl~ 12/06/08 06:01 PM

Minelson 12/06/08 06:06 PM

So, Reicheru, Did she pop while you were at the sale? Did you buy anything? ;)

togg75 12/06/08 07:22 PM

LOL! I hope so too :)

reicheru 12/07/08 12:09 AM

Noooooooooo... I was for sure she would have kidded as I just now got home. lol


I didn't buy anything... all the tack and equipment was way over priced and I didn't have transportation for this mare I LOVED. boo.

togg75 12/08/08 05:19 AM

Any fluffy lil baby goats in your barn yet? Maybe she is just bloated and not preggo? ;)

reicheru 12/08/08 03:21 PM

I think she may have swallowed a watermelon seed... or four. harhar!

no babies yet. The great pyrs woke me up this morning at 4am... so I jumped up, got dressed, marched out there in the cold, thhinking she was kidding... NOTHING. I swear it's a conspiracy.
