I've had a nasty virus the past few days and haven't felt like even getting out of bed, let alone look at the computer. Thanks for checking in marlow.
Scottie is doing great and is THE most spoiled goat that I've ever known...wonder how that happened?
He's now learned to jump the baby gate so we have to keep the bathroom door closed to contain him.
Scottie and Boingo have become great friends (supervised only)...problem is that they both think that Scottie is a puppy
One of K's instructor's at school is in hot water for upsetting K by insistently telling K that she is a boy regardless of what she thinks (or knows). I laid down the law with the principal and it will be addressed appropriately or else.
B is doing fairly well in school and we'll be setting up his initial IEP next Friday. He'll be placed in a small classroom for most of the day which is something that we've been pushing for for quite a while now.

Hope you get to feeling better soon Em
Yup...that teacher needs a swift kick to the butt...saw on Huffington Post news this morning an article about someone like K...who at age 5 realized "he" was a "she"...it isn't on there anymore or I'd email you the link in case you didn't see it. She wrote a letter to the President about people understanding kids like her and that they had rights too
Glad B is doing better in school...a smaller class sounds like a good thing.
Scottie sounds like a blast! What fun!!!

Thanks for that. I love finding articles of young trans children to share with K!bonbean01 said:

We are getting so much entertainment from our little bottle baby too. She's figured out how to climb stairs, and is currently trying to jump up on the couch.
She thinks our male beagle is her mommy. She keeps going under him looking for lunch. He just stands there looking at me with this pitiful look on his face. If he sits or lays down she is jumping all over him. She keeps sticking her head in the dog food bowl like he does.
How will you transition Scottie outside? I'm very worried about the attachment this one has formed with us.
Sorry you're feeling under the weather - I've got it too. Sinus infection/ear infection. yuck. How much snot can one person produce?!
Hope you feel better soon.

My plan...(haha, they don't always work out) is to put him in a pen with his twin and *hope* that they hit it off. We'll see how that goes.Squirrelgirl88 said:

Well Scottie was introduced to his brother and couldn't care less. Of course DH did this when Scottie was hungry and all he cared about was getting his ba.
Finished a hole of my mom's 3 hole rabbit hutch and moved her buns into it as it was bigger than their current digs. Next I'll finish up another hole that just needs a front and then tackle redoing their previous digs (I built off the original hutch). Then I'll need to finish her grape trellis over the hutch and tie her grape vine to it to start training it. Getting there...I'll get pics when it's done.
I'll be doing a jelly demo next week at the store that sells my stuff. I'll not be making jelly but showing folks how to use my unique jellies. They'll be sponsoring a swap meet right next door, so it should be busy...and the temp is supposed to go up again which makes it better for folks to walk the downtown stores.

I took little Ellie out to see her siblings - no one paid any attention to each other.
My "plan" is to move her to the barn - once weaned - and seperate her with my doeling born in October. I'm hoping the two of them will bond as playmates. They are actually half sisters.
Maybe I can convince her that she is a goat, and that she really does belong in the barn.
We'll have to compare notes on the transition process.

Scottie is NOT happy right now. He got moved from the bathroom to the laundry room since he was playing in things he shouldn't. He has no register vent to sleep on now, so that makes him mad. He cannot see us, that makes him mad. It's a tad cooler, that makes him mad. He's been screaming at me for the past hour....hopefully he calms down soon.
