No I don't. ... it's cold lol and I don't have a fur coat to keep myself warm like newton does , I may be Canadian but it doesn't mean I like being cold (not saying it doesn't get cold in other places lol)

Newton scared the poop out of my grandfather today, I was out in the sheep pasture (the other side over the property) and he was feeding the chickens bread and random veggies as a treat when all of a sudden the goat started yelling so grandpa imeadiatly called out to me and jogged over an got me and we both ran back only to find newton peacefully laying down in a sunny spot chewing her cud My grandfather started swearing at her and went back to feeding the chickens lmfao I don't think he will forgive her anytime soon.

Goat code step 7!
7 -You must keep this waiting game interesting. False alarms are mandatory!

I don't think there is any rule that a doe can't go back to earlier steps just for fun!

You are doing a GREAT job Newton, first time too! I think you are an overachiever.

to @newton the goat, the poor young lady with nerves that look like Einstein's hair!

@Bruce how did you know lol! My hair looks almost like Einstein's at this moment except for the bald patch and greying (though I fear it may be in my future if this keeps up ) thanks for the support so far!

Things To Do While Your Goat's Expecting:

The last few weeks and days of your goat's pregnancy may seem like they drag on forever. Here's some handy things to occupy your time, and ensure you're prepared for the blessed event:

1. Trim your fingernails short and keep them filed smooth, in case you have to assist during the birth.
2. Read War and Peace.
3. Check your kidding kit to make sure all your supplies are there. Replace anything outdated.
4. Build a 1/10 scale model of the Eiffel Tower out of toothpicks.
5. Re-read the birthing sections of your goat books, to familiarize yourself with the normal birthing process, and signs you may need to assist or call a vet.
6. Attend college; earn associate's degree.
7. Make sure your vet's number, and a backup vet's if possible, are in your phone.
8. Count how many times the word 'the' appears in the Harry Potter novel series.
9. Keep a kidding stall prepared, and your camera batteries charged.
10. Memorize the complete works of Shakespeare.

I hope this list has been of some help to you. If you've worked your way through the entire list and your goat still hasn't given birth, don't worry - that's quite normal. It should be just a few more days...

My dad checked her at two in the morning.... says she was just happily sleeping, I think she's a perfectionist at the doe code at this moment...
