Looks like there are lots of goat farms around here. I am near Nowata. Not sure what county that is in, but I like it here, so far. It's really pretty here. And it is not in Texas with the people who are nuts and don't take care of their goats.

We got a couple does on loan today and they have three kids. BRAND new. They are so cute and I get to take care of them.

I LOVE BABIES!

Thanks Queen Mum for the Christmas Wishes.

Hoping you had a Wonderful Holiday. But with three nubian babies coming, I think you got your wish.

Have a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year in your New Place.

They are so sweet. The one pair, a doeling and buckling are like negatives of each other. A white and black doeling, and a black and white buckling and exact mirror images.

The doeling.

And then there is a lovely silver moon buckling.

He's my favorite. (Don't tell the other two.) He is independent, strong, curious and lively. He loves having his ears rubbed. And LOOK at those ears. He could fly with them.

They are just lovely. And the little silver moon one is so sweet. He is very laid back and easy going. He is also incredibly big and strong. He has HUGE soft very white ears. All of them have the longest legs. Their mamas are very tall and stately looking. Beautiful udders! The mothers are on a milk test this next week.

These babies look like a big pile of spots!

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL babies.

Love all three!

Wishing you all the luck with caring for these sweeties and seeing they find the right "permanent" home.

Houdini is in the doghouse! Literally. He has a little doghouse to sleep in and a small pen. AND he hasn't escaped since we got here. OR gotten in to mischief. He likes his little pen. He's the epitome of domestic tranquility right now with Jelly Bean. He leaps upon his doghouse every morning and surveys his kingdom and if I don't bring his feed he calls out to me and demands it!

Yesterday, I caught him standing on the rock in the middle of his pen playing with the bell on his collar. Trying to make it ring.

He also watches over everything and if things are not right, he LETS me know. The other day when we got here with the two new does and their babies, the new mamas were really upset and Houdini jumped up on his house and started yelling at me to tell me something was wrong! He's a watch goat. Who'd have thought?

I'm going to have to get him some toys. Maybe a big soccer ball or something to train his little bulldozer mind.

Any suggestions?

In the meantime, Mama is getting quite content. She is filling out nicely and looking really fat and sassy. Brownie has a nice round belly. Ian is as Bucky as ever and nearly gave me a heart attack when he ran into the "little girls' " pen yesterday when I tried to go into his pen to feed him. (God Forbid, he should breed a purebred Nubian doeling by mistake.) And Trump Card is his happy little self.

Jelly Bean is finally getting a real goat coat AND she's warming up to me.

Well that made my day Queen Mum. Hearing that Houdini is now happy in his place and that he feels he needs to watch instead of creating mischief.

Glad to hear Mama is filling out nicely, Jelly Bean is getting her real coat and warming up to you. Brownie has a nice round belly.

And Ian is his old self (going after the girls lol) and Trump Card is his happy self.

Sounds like you made the right move Queen Mum. Know it was hard but it looks like you and your happy little goat family have found a happy place.

So thrilled for you.

Now can't wait to hear about BABIES! Your babies!
