Sweetened's 2016 kidding thread

Well if he isn't stinking now he will be shortly as that handsome boy is destined to be spoiled rotten... in a good way of course.

congrats on your new addition. He is a cutie. Thanks for sharing your pictures as we wait for our own little darlings to make their appearance.

Poplars boy was named Oakley. He is sold to a lady out west and will ship when the weather is good, probably April. Mable is doing well. She is no longer white, but grey, due to her favorite spot being near the wood stove. I believe she has some pain in a back leg, but im uncertain as to why. When shes not bouncing around, chasing cats or playing with my Daughter, she will hold it up a bit and grind her teeth. She is otherwise doing very well. Id like to house train her. While poop is not a problem (the dog thinks shes a pez dispenser, finds it before we do), the pee is annoying and she kicks off diapers.

You may be able to potty train her. A friend was able to train her 2 BB's to go in a litter box. I think @Queen Mum trained one of her kids to use a dog pee pad.

Dot bred to Duke for June 8th. She is exposed to beau and simon as well but they were too busy flubbering to get in on any action that I saw.

And we have a surprise... Lavenders kid from 2015 is bagging up! This tiny thing doesnt even look pregnant, so hopefully kids are small for her tiny frame.

, do you know around what date Lavender's kid is due?

 

[Sweetened]

Didnt even think she was pregnant. If she kids before the 20th, you can bet itll be cream and gold or white or some combo of those as itd be that registered buck. If she kids after that itll be beauregards. I figure she will probably go before the 20th but who k ows! Nice, tight little bag with nice long teats. Beautiful. Heres a picture of her as of 10 minutes prior to this post. Sorry its sodeways. The doeling to her left (bottom) is 3 months younger than her and just bred.

yerp... thats the one. She has looked like that since the day i brought her home 4.5ish months ago, which is why i didnt see it i suppose.

OK... maybe she's not? Guess we'll all find out for sure sooner or later...
