    Luvmypets Journal: A New Season

    Truth be told I was so nervous to post that. But yall have been there for me through this whole thing and I really felt that I wanted to tell you everything. I’ve been so distant and only shared the good stuff when so much more was going on behind the scenes. Even then with all that scummy stuff...

    Goat abortions?

    This is more common than you’d think. No judgement here Ive had my fair share of whoopsie babies. How old are the kids and how far along are they?

    Lost the tiny firstborn this afternoon. I’m not sure what happened but he was very weak, and breathing raspy when I checked on him this morning. I think he may have been partially laid on, but I have no idea. He was unable to nurse with his siblings and barely had a suckle reflex so I brought...

    Less than a month to go before pigmagedon starts. Maeja finally has signs of milk so she will have hers within the next 7-10 days. All the other girls are HUGE and want attention.

    All the girls crave affection towards the end of their pregnancies. However Maeja is a lil different in that she always likes to put her head in my lap. Well yesterday I was sitting with the girls and Maeja comes by and is asking for rubs, but when she went to lay down she decided she should put...
