Twin does

Well Ricoalette is in labor but still yet to start streaming Goo. Another doe who is due the 28th Sadie went early this morning though with twin does.

I am so excited over this because these kids are out of my buckling that I lost just days after christmas who's sire I lost this past summer (bad luck I tell you!). I just on a whim bred this doe to him as I was going to wait till he was a wee bit older. I am so glad I did breed her to him and I was praying for does and I get TWIN does! Both are beautiful black and whites and Bagheera looks like her dad through the face where as Baloo looks like her mom through the face. All legs with a nice long back.

Now for me? Sleeeep

Justine
ps: pics will probably come on sunday when I am off work.

We had one deliver yesterday that never did have any goo - none during labor either. I was expecting goo! Good luck with your doe.

Ricoalette had twin bucks, Mia looks to be in labor so hopefully she will go before I have to leave at 2:30 for work.

Ok Mia went and she had 1 buck and 1 doe. The buck was pulled to be replace my Jr. Herdsire I lost. He isn't pure bred (mom is 75% LaMancha and dad is pure LaMancha) but for now I don't care horribly. My other buck is 4-5 and since he is my ONLY buck I don't want to loose him in some freak accident either.

Okay okay, I know I promised pictures today. Got side tracked (woke up laaaate....like 10:30am but I have been bushed what with having the flu and kidding and working so I think I deserve some sleep in time). So I got a late start to the day and then a friend came out to visit and by the time she left it was time to start dinner (homemade chicken noodle soup yummm!) which is on the stove simmering as I type this.

So pics will come tomorrow and I gotta run and finish making dinner!

Look Squirt......do I need to come up there and clean your plow for you?

Trust me....that is not a good thing. Wonder how I know that. LOL!

OK...so eat lots of chicken soup so you will have the strength to hold that camera and push the little button and......................GET ER DONE!

Come to think of it......can't you con your Mama into doing it for you.....I mean....if you whine enough and stuff? (inocent grin)

Hey Squirt! Are you OK?
Getting worried about you.

When you don't fight back I know you are not feeling well.

Twin does?! I'm so jealous.

BTW: directly before having those twins, the mother was definitely pregnant.

Oh I am just waiting for the right moment. Sydney had a buckling two days ago and Heidi had twin bucks yesterday so hectic is my middle name. Mom is helping me get pictures of the kids though since we are going out to bottle feed in a bit. Although I already got some she said we need better ones (she just wants to take the photos instead LOL!). Hopefully I can get them loaded and up on here by tonight.
