Dazzle has lost her tendons and has a full tight bag. Looks like it will be soon. I had so much I had to do tomorrow. Maybe change of plans. Wonder if I could talk her into getting busy! ;)

I had thought today was Dazzles day but then she may wait until the middle of the night. THing is she didn't eat well this morning but then started eating again. She ate a good dinner. She does look at her side like something is bothering her. Cut my day short today so she wouldn't be alone long. Now it looks like I am tied more tomorrow. Don't want to leave her for this is her first kidding.

Nothing yet but Dazzle is laying there in her hay just nibbling a bit now and again. She looks miserable. I hope she will kid today.

OK while I am waiting and waiting for Dazzle. I swear I am going to run her around the block!!;) I need opinions. Which of my almost 5 week old Nubian goats would you keep? I love them both and love is blind but if I was to have to keep just one which one is the best one? I noticed that Pearl has her butt higher in the air. Is that normal for this age? Pearl is the more solid red with frosted ears and Jewel is the baby with more white. I may have to get better side shots of Jewel.

I personally like Jewel better. But then I'm going off color too. Love her color and solid ears. She looks like she may have a more solid topline too.

I think I learned something. Even tho I knew the exact date of Dazzle being bred. [The buck was taken out of the pen that day]. They don't always come on time!:/. I guess goats don't get PG right away after breeding. Dogs are usually on time but I have known them not to be also.
Dazzle is still looking happy but growing bigger!
