Surprise Triple Play

Came home today, expecting perhaps that Fatty Gladdy might have finally kidded; nope, ole Lotte, who looked like a single, maybe twins at the outside, had THREE 8 pounders!! Two full blood does and a fullblood buck! All cleaned off, all nursed, all pooped and resting comfortably! Dipped, bo-se'd, wormed mom and bedded em down. I felt like I just found a $20 bill in the couch cushions; boy is Lotte long and deep, she hardly looked wide at all! Now there are just three more to go; they all look WIDE. I am praying for twins or triplets to hopefully minimize huge kids on first fresheners(except fatty gladdy-third time round for her). Final nice thing is that one of the doe kids is a pretty paint.
