I know her right side doesn't bulge out all that much. She seems to have gotten much flatter on that side the past couple of days.

The day has finally arrived! Grammy goat has had twins! Buck/doe. I am not positive that she is done. No afterbirth has passed, but she seems very content to eat, drink, and move around. We've pulled the kids for now, it is snowing and blowing and she doesn't seem interested. We've milked her, fed the kids, and they are snuggled down for a rest. We are keeping a close eye on Grammy. She seems very closed in the lady parts department, so I am reluctant to go in for a feel. Kids look great. Nothing like last time.

Congrats, they're little cuties! Hope Grammy is doing well, has passed the placenta and is recovering.

Grammy is doing well, and her kids spent last night out in the barn with her. She is a gentle yet protective mama. Interestingly, both of her kids apparently to be blue eyed. Neither parent is though. My daughter's first doe kidded yesterday, b/d twins. They are so cool. Tri colored Nubian looking heads with white Boer bodies. All are healthy and well.

On a sad note: our great pyr, wazowski, got hit by the school bus yesterday. He didn't make it.

Awww dang! So sorry for your loss. :hugs That's the 2nd traffic pyr fatality this month :hit What is it with these big danged lunk heads that calls them to go out in the road in front of moving vehicles? Wish we could breed vehicle smarts into their huge lovable heads! Hope you have another LGD to hold your herd over.

I don't have another lgd at this moment. He was really showing great promise too. He didn't bother the ducks, chickens, piglets, or goats if they were our and about. He was keenly interested in Grammy goat's welfare immediately after she kidded. We never had the chance to try him with the new kids. They were in the house warming up, and then he got hit. We don't really plan to get another dog. We seem to go through them so fast on our road.

Time to get a better fence! Then think about another dog. I couldn't live without my dogs...
