your kids are so sweet I love them

I think I am in love. I was watching them on camera from living room, didn't like the way one was laying so still, went down to check on them, and the little buck was sacked out sound asleep. I roused him up to make sure he was ok, and he got up and tried to follow me out of the pen. I stopped and turned around and said you have to stay with mommy and he bleated at me. Oh, I am definitely in love.

Congratulations!!!! I'm bummed that I missed it! I took a peek when I was home on break and told DH she's pushing and I'm going back to work... They are little cuties.

I saw you on camera. They are very cute. Are you going to be keeping any of the kids?

Not sure yet, will see how they look when they get a little bigger, may keep one of the doelings, will try to sell the buckling intact, if not will band him and then make decision on keep or sell. Since we have the two bucks, both myotonic, that we can breed to, I can keep does out of Eli to breed with Dude, so I guess time will tell. The man I got Dude off of, may want some of them to add new blood to his fainter herd, so I will have to get in touch with him and that may answer the question quickly.

Congratulations on the speedy and healthy delivery, I watched it all. You'd have thought it was mine, the way I was so tense. I kept calling to my DH, she's having them, do you want to watch, oh, she's having another, come see, but he just kept saying, no, that's all right, just let me know how it's going. Boy, when it's our turn (fingers crossed, no one bred yet, but hopefully soon) he better be right there with me, handing me towels etc. just like Papaboid. What really impressed me was that you were right there with her, down in the hay, I can see that you, like me, are not a "skinny minnie" type gal, and I have wondered how I will manage, as I can't kneel down, but you did it, so I will too!! They are just lovely, Elsie did a great job, enjoy!!

Thanks. They are so sweet, I could just hug on em all the time.

LOL, the reason I was right down there, was once I got down, I couldn't get up.
Skinny minnie is definitely not how I would be described. DH is lovin being "Papaboid". He said, Hey I have a name too.

Elsie and the kids are all doing great this morning. They all have full bellies, and are bouncing around. It is only 24 degrees here this morning, so they are all staying pretty close to the warming barrel when they lay down. Elsie is eating good, drinking a lot of water, and being a really attentive mom. I was watching her about 4am, and they were all piled up sleeping, and she was just standing over them...watching... it was a really neat picture. Hope everybody has as wonderful a day as I am.

I could hear how happy he was during the birth so I thought he deserved a Congrats too and a cool BYH name.

Those babies are sooooo cute, I love watching them.
