I didn't have any purple! It was leftover fabric from a snuggle that I made for my sister. He is so sweet!

Oh. My. Goodness. What did we get ourselves into?? There was a Casting Crowns concert in Barre, VT (approx. 1 hr. away) tonight and a big group of youth and young adults from our church were going to it. One of our pastors and his wife were also going, but they didn't have a babysitter for their 4 children. Guess who volunteered? Yeah. We did. Don't get me wrong, they are nice kids. The energy level though is outrageous! And the talking, NON STOP. I was tired 10 minutes after they arrived! And did I mention it is a "sleep-over" too.

The baby goat has a name now! His name is Nigel and it fits him perfectly. He even responds to it already. 
He is doing really well on the milk replacer so far.
---------------
Squash is doing much better. She jumped out of her pen yesterday, but quickly decided that she liked her pen and her own dish of food better. She is doing well with Nigel and almost seems like she might be getting attached to him.
--------------
Rosa is still holding on to her babies. I thought she might go last night (she had some goo leakage and I was house-sitting for someone), but nope. At this rate, she and Bridget (due on the 20th or something) are going to wait until Ingrid is ready and then they'll all go at the same time.
-------------
The friend I was house-sitting for (she has Shetlands too!) has a couple Weimaraners, an old girl and a young boy. The boy, Monty, is a ridiculously funny dog. When he heard my alarm go off this morning, he pushed the bedroom open, climbed on the bed, and sat on me.

Mine is either waiting for her mother to lamb with her or she's waiting for this big snowstorm tonight/tomorrow. I am going batty waiting for her. Her udder was fuller, butt was puffier, and she was leaking more goo this morning so maybe we are close?Bridgemoof said:That's funny, love the picture! lol

I decided to let Rosa and her mother, Bridget, out of their lambing jugs this afternoon (note: I don't usually put sheep in the lambing jugs until after they've lambed, but Rosa wasn't wanting to shove in at the feeder anymore and Bridget got really cold the other day). They, after taking a couple minutes to consider what to do, walked out and went out of the barn. They stood in the sun for a few minutes and then went back to their jugs and asked to go back in.
It is the first sunny/not rainy, snowy, muddy, brutally cold windy day in a while so I took so new pictures of some of the babies.
First Nigel.....
He's rockin' the flowered sweater!
Such a goat! The lambs like to chew and paw at this bale, but Nigel sees it and goes "yay! jungle gym!"
