Today is the pups second vet visit for their first shot. They have been spending most of their time with the goats now, though they can go back into the nursery if they want to and that is where I feed them. Yesterday, I watched as Ammy bounced past my doe Lily and I knew what was going to happen, and sure enough, Lily rolled her with one swift toss of her head. No yelping though, and Ammy just lay down on the ground near Lily for a few before gently getting up and going about her business. Lily has proven to be a good training goat. Not too rough but will not put up with any nonsense as herd queen. I remember when she rolled Charlie for the first time and he did yelp and I was about to cry but left and didn't save him. It only took a few times and he learned to walk calmly near his charges.

Time goes by so fast... Hard to believe almost a month since your last update. How are those puppies doing? Would you by any chance have some updated pics to share? Been getting plenty of kid and lamb fixes lately, but puppies fixes are a much more rare occurrence...

Oh jeeez has it really been a month! Sorry about that! We have been hitting that to do list hard. Pasture fence is done, hotwire added to my parent's fence, making a new feed building for the meat goats, and kidding season for the dairy goats is done. Updates! I have not weighed them this week yet but I am estimating 25-26 lbs.
