Send a woman for chicks &...

She will come home with a kid..... (the one behind the human kid that is)
As I wrote before- If I PLAN to go for certain things, I rarely get them.
Another Doe! I am guessing around 6 weeks old & Alpine but not sure if there is anything else in her. There was a brother but been there. Done that. No more bucks till we are on larger land.

So what's next? Well she needs a name. I thought about Delilah since "hey there Delilah" by the Plain T's came on the radio 3 times during our trip home. ***click here for song & video.***

Lady Chia was not happy either. She actually turned her nose up at me when I sat next to her with the kid in my arms. Would not look at me! I do believe she is jealous.
So why would I buy another goat when Lady Chia has been content by herself?
I couldn't help it! It's an addiction. All this homesteading lifestyle and ways have become such an enjoyment. I get a high from it!I swear I do.
Shake your heads. Go ahead. But come on. Could you have walked away from that face?
As I write this, she sits calmly in my lap. Not a care to be had. Frog LOVES her and she seems to really like Frog.Maybe its the size factor.
Its raining outside so no watering the garden but I need to close the coop up for the night.
crazy dreams,

What a beautiful smile on Frogs face!!! That is the sweetest little thing I have ever seen!(both of them actually).

Lady Chia, will come around and love you again.

Brightest blessings

I was going back through your archives and was wondering whatever happened when Chia didn't give birth. Did you contact the breeder and get your money back or how did it go?

The breeder did not charge much at all. I did pay more for boarding and feed but even that was inexpensive. I did not ask for money back and she did offer a free breeding for her again, that I have never done due to the 'life up in the air" situation it has been for a bit.
I love that breeder and she has helped me out in some scary goat situations- see Fernie posts.
I keep thinking oh maybe next year we will try again r th next. But I am starting to think it may just not happen for her. I love that girl so much and as greatly as I would like to get a doe out of her i also have doubt that I should. She has not had regular heat cycles and it is hard to determine when she is in heat. I had not seen scream and pee so much as I had just last week which was a dead giveaway that she was in. So I guess the best answer would be...
Maybe next year :~).
