"Molly Had A Baby"

My DH just called. DS came running from the barn when DH got home from work yelling "come quick..Molly had a baby". So I don't know if it's a buck or a doe...I don't even know if it's alive or dead...I'm leaving work soon.

....

DH just called again! It's twins. They're fine. That's all I know.

Going home now!!!!!!!

LOL, they do miss the important bits, don't they... we will not talk about my hubby trying to supervise a mama cat birthing...
I swear, I no longer leave the house for WEEKS before anything is due, lol.

Anywho, congrats on the twins, what breed are they?

I have a Molly, too. I remember one year Eldest came into the house and said, "I didn't know Molly had babies." I said, "Does she?!" lol And made a fast trip to the barn.

I've got a Molly, too, but she's a 7-year old second grader. There'd better not be any kids on the ground until she finishes med school at Stanford!

I have a boer cross named Molly. I guess Molly is a good name for goats.

Molly is also purported to be #1 name for dogs; my sister says I named my daughter after her Springer Spaniel.

I bought a doeling named Molly from Justine , thought I'd keep her as Molly after a beloved DOG named Molly we had to put down last May. Turned out to be too sad, and maybe bad luck, so now the doeling is Maggie.

Yeah, Bob. Most of my goats have that "holstein" look. Isn't it cool? Kind of a goaty fashion statement.
