OK picture time. They refuse to show their faces. On the left is Kay Linda. She is the most rambunctious of the two. On the right is Kay Bonita. She is about two pounds larger than Kay Linda. Kay Bonita prefers to nap.

OK. Here is the scoop. I skipped my Spanish class, because I was so worried that I would miss the big event. Evelyn was even more huge than when I left her in the morning. Her udder was at about the gallon size and tight as a drum. She was chewing her cud as calm as could be.:th I called a...

Evelyn is having her second set of kids. She is ginormous. Her udder is huge and full. Her tail looks like a question mark. So where are those babies? When are they going to make an appearance? Tonight? Tomorrow? NEXT WEEK? :barnie Bonzai, the kids' daddy, could care less. He just...

Three does, one buck, two dogs. Kids due in late February, 2018!

He needed a reality check. That's for sure.

This morning it was raining cats and dogs. I looked out the window and who had his big knobby head stuck in the hay feeder for the third time? Mr. Bonsai. I went out to help him pull his head out. He was all wet and shivery, but he would not cooperate. I went to get the hack saw and cut...

Well, Bonsai is back! He had fun at the other farm and bred the does. The new babies here are due at the end of February. My girls are looking healthy and happy. Bonsai is looking healthy and hungry. Yesterday, he headbutted my leg and I had to throw him and show him that headbutting me...

The last buckling is at his new house! He immediately started mounting does to breed and his new owner is very happy with him. And Bonsai is on loan to another farm to breed some dairy does so my herd is just three does. It feels so empty out in the field!

The joint itself seems to be OK. Just don't know why the muscles aren't working. Might be something else.

Rotator cuff surgery and frozen shoulder. Then a couple months later I broke my arm. I just had an arthrogram. No sign of what is causing the problem. I can't have an MRI, because I have an implant in my hip. I guess, I'm stuck with the stuck arm.

Hi Goatgurl. My shoulder is not healing properly. After almost a year of physical therapy and one surgery, I can't lift it above my waist. I have to have more tests to see what is going on. We shall see what we can see. Then it will probably be more Physical therapy. Either way, it is MUCH...

Thanks Babsbag. I do love the colors on those two. I'm getting ready to sell my boys this month. The colors from my new buck were outstanding. He proved out really well in that department. I'm anxious to see how the udders turn out on his daughters this year.

A couple pictures for you of my kids. I'm ready to sell my bucklings now. They are full of beans and in rutt right now. The first boy is the middle one. His sister is in the front and she is Almond Joy and his name in Almond Roca. Next is Prince E Pal. He's got his head down and is...

The girls were all in the field today and there was no Mama to holler at the kids to keep them from sneaking out. Chaos ensued. And who was at the forefront of the great adventure? Joey! He had led them out the back gate and across the road up an embankment into the hedge weeds. He was...

Thanks for all your kind words and hugs. I spent last evening reading some of my old posts about her and Houdini. I already miss them both. His grandson, Joey, is quite like him. He's an escape artist. I bang a pan to call the kids back to the pen. When I do that Joey turns and looks at me...

She was almost 15. This is her at six or seven. She weighed 200 lbs. When I put her down she weighed 145.

I am not one to let an animal hang on "to the bitter end". Mama has gotten thinner and thinner. She seemed OK as far as getting around but she stopped taking first chair as herd Queen about a week ago. She's been limping a bit and her feet are hurting. The rain has been miserable for her...

Thanks

Well, the land lady was putting a round bale in for the goats and the three heifers got all excited because they thought it was for them. They were running around and kicking up their heels just bouncing up and down, so thrilled. The bale passed them right on by and their heads , tails and ears...

Well my latest "adventure" is a mis-step while getting hay for the girls. I caught my foot on a root, fell and broke my arm, right up at the shoulder that I just had surgery on.
