Swing Swung

February 21st, 2016

It’s been a week of mood and weather swings. I’ve been up and I’ve been down. But I’m okay. And the weather has gone from icely cold sunshine to milder with a bit of snow. Hopefully that’s the last we’ll see of the snow for now. I’d like some spring soon.

The goat kids are doing great. Ping has an ear that seems to bend backwards at times. How peculiar. But maybe that’ll make it easier for me to tell him apart from Pong. When they race around I can rarely tell who’s who. But I can identify the fuzzball. Fuzzy loves to come over for some scratchies and cuddles. He’s the big lapgoat, while the twins prefer to race around.

I got some pictures on Mia’s page of Peanut. He’s doing well. But looking huge now. Maybe it’s because I’ve been spending so much time with little babies. He looks like a grown man. He’ll get such a surprise when he comes back home. Things sure have changed.

And so it goes. Upwards and onwards.

And videos.

And that’s all for this week, folks. See you in the next one.

Ping & Pong and Fuzzy

February 14th, 2016

Lots of fun with the goats these days. Today the Facebook group decided on names for the little ones. I’ve been calling Mia’s boy Fuzzy, and that ended up winning the vote. Ahead of Poe. And Mio’s twins are now called Ping & Pong. Ahead of Rocky & Rambo in the polls. I hope they will like their new names. I’ve had them out in the pen alltogether, and out on a walk to the grass. The adults enjoyed getting to graze a little again, and the boys enjoyed running around and exploring. Lots of new things to see and do. And they are all super cute.

In other news, my brother is in the hospital. With 10% kidney capacity. It’s been a bit of a scary time, but nothing I feel like writing too much about here. Save to say that he will probably need dialysis treatments for the rest of his life, or a transplant if it becomes possible. But at least he’s alive and being treated. That’s what matters now.

And happy Valentine’s Day to everyone. The goats send their love! And I’m tired and going to wrap things up. Plenty more baby goat stuff next week.


First meeting of the kids.


First time back on the grass, with the kids.

And videos.

And that’s all for this week, folks. See you in the next one.
