Took a pair of sisters down to the penis gallery awhile ago. One has some light goo & when I left she complained.
The poor buck was right outside the back door thinking he was gonna get to go to work.
One of the LGD's rose a ruckus about that. Couldnt see anything but I think dog sent him back to his corner.
Time to go back out.

Enjoyed talking with you too NTJPM. You almost got a call awhile ago as Nanette was kidding,
Had a fine doeling out in general population brought them into kidding suite got bellyful.
Half hr so so went by no more action OK lets see uh oh a roadblock here...front leg folded back. Got him out.
The next (doeling) the same. Beautiful dark head.
Checked again to make sure no one was still in there, all I felt was tissue.

Still waiting for doe in Penis Gallery. Creamers we call it that cause one yr those two sisters had 7 bucklings between them.

Minelson, she needs your help. She can't get her pictures to post she just gets the big ole X instead. I tried to help but don't do it often enough to remember. Can you send her a PM walking her through it?? You are the Picture queen so I figure if anyone can help it is gonna be you. LOL

Have a great day, hope to see you on Holly's webcam soon.

Not Fair! Not Fair! Not Fair! Everyone seems to be west of the Mississippi and seems to always have goats for sale! There is no one around here close! Arrggghh! Guess I will need to REALLY get a goat fix now and find some more goats to keep me company. It will be awhile before I have any more baaabbbies.
