Really need to get over the phobia

[TRAILRIDER]

Okay, I really need to learn to draw blood for the biopryn testing. Yes, I know.A child could do it.
I even orderd the supplies to do pregnancy testing and CAE testing. But chickened out. Now my two does are supposed to be due April 1st. I did not test them. One day they look pregnant, next day not. Sometimes I think both are just real well fed!
Anybody ever have a doe (they are two years old and each had babies last year) that didn't get very big and was jumping around and playing this close up?
If they have fooled me I won't be too upset. I bought 3 bottle babies, so have the fun of raising them. And I can try to find a good doe in milk for sale, so I won't be w/o milk much longer. Hey, I might just look for that third doe anyway

I can understand. I call my Vet out for a home visit, just because I can't bring myself to do it. It's not that I can't do it, I just don't want to do it. I have this fear of hurting someone or something going wrong. As for the does being pregnant I have no clue.

My husband and I have learned to shave a small area especially anytime except summer. It makes it much easier to feel bubble. We had a buck named Vinny when pulling blood for the first tests i nicknamed him Pinny.

Funny that I posted this yesterday. This morning when I went to the barn, my doe Dolly (who is a wonderful milker) had milk all of a sudden! I mean, tonight she will be walking wide in the back end kind of full. Now I'm pretty sure she is pregnant. LOL!
