Saturday, January 28, 2006 - Come Congratulate Daisy the Wonder Goat! |
It happened! Daisy the Wonder Goat had her babies late this afternoon!
One boy, then two girls...triplets! I'd never witnessed a goat giving
birth before, but now that I have...it's amazing! I'm just glad I'm not
as squeamish now as I was when I was a kid! I could tell stories, but I
won't (you can thank me later).
Back to the goats. Daisy is reported to be 50-50 Alpine/Nubian (she has
the dreaded airplane ears), and the "father" is reportedly 100% Nubian.
These babies look Nubian, with the floppy ears. Two are brown,
and one is white with black markings. Very cute, and naturally that is
an understatement of the highest degree.
Now I'm ducking down under the computer desk as I type this, because I
have to tell you that I don't have any pictures yet (please don't throw
rotten tomatoes at me, I'm ducking so you'll miss anyway). Allow me to
explain. To get pictures I would have to use the camera. To do that, I
would have to know how to use it. Yes, I know you have to push the
button to take the picture, but there's also this "setting dial" thing that I
don't know what to do with. Also, I assume you have to plug the camera
into the computer to get the pictures to go into the computer, hence I
would need a cord of some sort, too. Do you have any idea where that
might be and what it might look like (I need more than cord-ish)? Me neither.

Seriously?! You lost 20 lbs in a month while eating a tbsp of olive oil a day? Tell me more; were you also starving yourself...were you exercising more? Do you think it was the oil?

for not taking pictures because, I read your comment at Gena's (with an 'e') about the cocoanut oil--Thanks!
You should blog about that, both the olive oil vs. cocoanut oil and the weightloss.
God Bless,

Look in the medicine cabinet for the cord, that's where I found mine- someone saw it and said "This computer looking cord thingy looks like it belongs in the bathroom!"
How great about the babies- my goats are due in April and I cannot WAIT!!! I have never witnessed any birth before (besides my own children, but I couldn't really see anything LOL), I am so excited. I hope it all goes as well as yours did. I'll keep ya posted :)
