Hmmm, I wonder if nipple stimulation to induce labor would work on goats.

Or pineapples and eggplants...that worked for me. I went into labor just cooking it :P

LOL Cubby is an ornery masochist...I *kid* you not. She likes to be hobbled. She will kick until you grab her leg to put it on and then she will stand really still. After you hobble her she goes back to eating her feed just as happy as can be!

Lol, my dog is a masochist. She likes to be shot with paintball guns and will come running from anywhere if she hears gunshots of any kind.

that second pic she looks so back heavy that it looks like she is walking on her back heals. I hope she kids well with no problems.
Cookie is also my chunkiest goat she only had 1 doeling and she still looks like she's chunky.

She's still holding them in I milked Scully at 10 tonight and checked on Cubby and she was showing no signs of labor so far.

Last time she kidded at 4:20 am so I'm really hoping it isn't another late night delivery! I know it probably doesn't matter but it still makes me nervous. I have *trained* myself to wake up to talking goats though. My goats are quiet but the other morning I heard one really talking so I jumped out of bed and ran outside thinking Cubby might be pushing. Nope. Scully was looking for a misplaced doeling! The doeling had gone to sleep and Scully couldn't remember where she had put her lol We found the doeling, all was well but I'm glad to know that I will wake up if I hear one of them!

When I say *talking* I mean that way they talk to their kids.

dang you chubby!!!!!!!!!! give us those babies. when people would come up to me when i was pregnant for the twins and look all disgusted and say 'what no babies" i almost punched their teeth out. I hurt so bad and if it was my choice would have had them at 36 weeks. I went to 37.5 and would have went much longer but was dilated to 5 and they told me I had to have them.
go give chubby some simpathy and love and I bet she may cry on your shoulder. now where is that goats mother code things?the goat code poem. now that was funny
