Spring Babies - Post 1 of many!

So, here are the new babies as promised. They are doing really well and

even spent a day in the pasture field.

I think this is a close-up of Luna. I am not real sure and Caitlin is asleep.

This baby was certainly more photogenic than the other.

And this is Momma Coco.

She really has her hands full.

The babies already have figured out how to escape from the stall.

Well, I will post more photos of all our other spring babies later.

And maybe even some of the older, spoiled babies.

And life goes on...

I still am in a major funk over losing my sweet baby. But, as life goes on, we had twin girls born to our Coco on Sunday morning. They seem to be doing well and Coco is taking care of them. She does require some milking because the girls both like to suck on the same side. Caitlin is making sure that is taken care of. While they aren't the same joy to me as Honey, it is nice to have new babies. Caitlin has named them Luna (Harry Potter) and Delilah. Coco is her goat and the babies will be hers too. I will post photos later of the new girls. We also have several piles of kittens around here, so I will try to take some pics of them too.

Still with my head under the pillow,

Grieving our baby girl

Last night when we returned home from a meeting, our baby girl Honey B was in distress. We gave her a bottle and left at 6pm and when we got home about 9pm, she was all muddy on one side and in pain. We don't know what happened to her, but their was nothing we could do for her pain and suffering. She died sometime through the night. We are so sad to lose her. She was such a sweet joy to take care of. We kinda complained about whose turn it was to feed her, but all of us enjoyed taking her a warm bottle and yelling her name and having her come running.

Sad and in tears missing our baby,

Honey B

We have a new addition to our family!!!

She is just like having a new baby - just one that lives in the barn...

Her name is Honey B.

She was born last Friday, March 27th.

I guess you could say she is Caitlin's baby and Jeff and I are the doting grandparents.



Her momma, June Bug, isn't able to feed her. June Bug has what is known as a "bad bag". So, we have been bottle feeding Honey B every 4 hours at first and now every 5 hours.
24 HOURS A DAY.......





June Bug still takes care of all the bathing and cuddling needs. She is an excellent mother.
By the way, we didn't plan for June Bug to have a baby, but apparently one of the neighbors billy goats thought she was mighty pretty and he found a way to do his thing.

A baby goat can never have ears that are too clean.

And a baby goat will suck even her surrogate momma's face if she thinks it will taste good.

I would have to say that Honey B has the three of us right where she wants us.

The best thing - she sleeps in the barn instead of a crib!!!!!!
