What a great weekend I had. Since I got my new kids on friday I have still not gotten over how awesome they are. I am so glad I got them, they have really cured my obsession for new/black boer goats. I can't really afford anymore now anyways but I think I will be just fine. My whole family loves them also. Today we celebrated my grandpa's 80th birthday at our house so we had everyone out and you can't come over with out seeing the goats. We played with Porsche and Jager in the yard for a while. I noticed on Porsche's back leg she has some red coloring but Kim said Austin had it too but then as a yearling she is now just black. I was wondering if she would change colors but I guess not. LOL. Well I guess that's all the fun going on at our house. I hope everyone has a great week.

Glad you had a great weekend. And it's nice that you appreciate the old ones while you still have 'em with you.

It is really crazy to think my grand parents are both turning 80 this year they are so active it is really awesome. I do feel really lucky to have them still around.
Today was slightly stressful. Jager decided this morning to only drink about 5oz of his bottle. I thought it was not a big deal to be a little off today since he did just move into a new home, and today was his first day on just straight cows milk. I figured his mid day feeding would go back to normal. Well he only ate about 13 oz at that feeding so I was slightly worried. I messaged Kim and she honestly could tell me it had something to do with the planets lining up funny and I would have just nodded my head and went with it. I pretty much listen to her as she is god when it comes to goats or animals in general. (don't get a big head lady) I usually know the answer to my questions before I ask them but I am also giving myself the worst possible outcomes to the situations. She told me to do pretty much what I had planned on doing with the baking soda and to watch him for other issues. No runny poop, bright eyed and alert, and what would you know after all that he downed his night bottle because he was starving. These darn goats are really good at making me worry. I am sure he will be just fine now and it was most likely just the change in the milk from goat to cows milk. I did it gradually everyone don't worry just today was the first day of just cows milk.
Starting now until June I will have my friends 22 month old 2-4 days a week after I get off work. My buddy works for the RR and never knows when he will be home, and his wife is going back to her summer job. Our other friend owns a hot dog type stand and it is only open in the summer so some of our friends work there. I did it last year and its alot of fun working with all your friends and the owner being a friend too. but while she does that I will watch her son for a few hours (5-8:30) at night. I am pretty excited but it is another thing to add to my already busy days. It is also another thing to plan around. Come June her cousin will be on summer break and will watch him while she works.
Well enjoy this beautiful weather everyone!!!

Well after my being worried yesterday about Jager he seems better today. he finished both his morning and mid day bottles. I think I will up Porsche's bottle an oz or 2 tonight because she is always hungry. I put some hay and pellets in with them to nibble on. They got to run around crazy this afternoon and I hope that made them plenty hungry for their night bottles. Nothin else too exciting going on here.
