Update: She appears to be back to normal (breathing wise) which is wonderful. She is now experiencing some stiffness at the shot sites.. she goes back for a check up in 2 days on Friday... but wanted to let everyone know I think that she will pull through! WOOHOO :)

She is a fainting goat... all the babies are :) We found out when placing baby chicks in the same pen with them. The baby chicks flapped their wings and got all excited being outside in the grass the first time and those sweet babies all fell over stiff. When we rescued Bella & Babes they said...

Sorry - It has been CRAZY! I gave up and thought ... if this was my kid where would I be? It was at the doctors! Baby Blu has pneumonia :( She is on OxyTet twice a day and then something else for the pain/temp 3x a day... Her temp was 103.3 and holding since 9pm so that is excellent news...

Blu was born 12/27 She Has been acting strange today and when I came down to check on her she now appears to be panting - very short breaths - what do I do?? She took some water, but sideways in her mouth and acted like she was going to throw up if that makes sense ... Current rectal temp =...

A journal about my adventures with these bouncing babies?! Genius! I shall now start one :) I am loving how each day she(Momma Bella) is looking at me with a little less fear - she is just so stinkin' sweet!

Alas I was told that the entire family was Pygmy goats... So according to Maggie and Dan they are thinking that the Sire may very well have been a pygmy/nigerian mix as the babies have some traits to Pygmy (their ears) but Bella was all nigerian :) Which is probably why even though she ranked a...

Yup, the coats are off for the moment. It was 23 degrees the last couple of nights here, so I am guessing anything below freezing will be a coat night. I almost made a new dress for Bella; had to hold back (love her) But they sleep with the door closed and we are talking with the HVAC friend to...

Holy Cow - Dan the goat man and Maggie my very own goat whisperer called back! He's coming tomorrow and bringing his disbudding irons, some box, and something else... it's kind of a blur, but I shall absorb his wisdom LOL He said something about broad spectrum wormer as well! Agh I feel so...

I ain't no silly goose; I offered some sweet cash to come be my friend LOL she might think i'm just crazy and not want to dig in too deep with someone so close to home Hahahaha. We shall see! Fingers crossed she loves the idea and wants to visit right away!

And outfit #1 done LOL they are even cuter!

Ha. It is Maggie :) She has yet to respond in a totally thrilled way LOL she did send me some links on where & what to buy etc. Still no word from the vet she mentioned... it's like people were on vacation! LOL I shall be at it again tomorrow. In the mean time they are doing splendid today. I...

I was given little to no information about them. Given that the previous owner told me "any hay is fine, like home depot sells hay" I thought.... yup and I have a fish in bowl at home - doesn't make it salmon for dinner. What I do know and was given. - Bella has not had any shots or...

We had lots of back and forth with a farmer who was very helpful with us finding just the "right" for us goats.... only after all that planning... God had different plans :/ Per the norm for my life LOL So we were contacted by a family who had fallen on hard times and the goats were draining...

Ostrich ... not a chicken breed ;)

Here's the hubs and kids. See what I did there... kids ;)

Walrus

Found this on pinterest. A sand bottom! Assumed there would be dirt under that and using a rake to collect the berries this could be nice? Maybe the sand is really that rock stuff??

Gah! That's so true! Back to the original plan. Thank goodness, trying to convince the hubs of my new plan to put poop in the middle of lawn wasn't going to be easy!

I was totally going to do a compost pile in the woods... let the wild animals mix it for me LOL perhaps I should be re-thinking that plan! I don't want our woods to catch fire. Thank you Mamablu for sharing your story. I am sorry for the loss of your little ones.
