Shetland Lambs

We've got 8 lambs this year, 6 white and two brown, all the babies are happy and the moma's are too!

This little girl thinks the best place to lay down is on top of mama!!!

Feeding time!

This is how you feed baby goats!

With all these mouths to feed it's time to call all baby goats sitters!!

My Babies!

Melody is saying these are mine!

She gave birth to twin doelings and decided to crawl into their little box to help keep them warm!!! Born 2.24.2011

Triplets!!!

It's a tripplet year!




Yesterday morning we woke up to Lovie Dovie and her tripplets. Then this morning I got up earlier than usual and raced out to the barn to see if there were more and Spot gave us another set of tripplets, and Penny was shifting from one leg to the other with a funny look on her face. When I got Spot taken care of and in a smaller pen Penny came in and started dropping another set of tripplets!!!!! Now Carrie is in the birthing area making funny noises and looking like she might give birth in the next 24 hours and she always gives tripplets! It's a tripplet year!!

Milking Season 2011 has begun!!

Melody's Twins 2011


First is Lela...then Harmony comes along....

Here is LIndsey toweling off Harmony...

Melody is a wonderful mom, she's taking time to clean and dry off her girls with her tounge, it helps stimulate circulation and drying them off as soon as possible is important to help them stay warm. They both stood up within a couple minutes of their birth which is a very good sign....then they promptly fell over!!! LOL!! Nothing cuter than the first few steps of a baby!!!

Chica, Rat Terrier Puppy

This is Chica, the little ball of mischief that John's holding! She's only 4 months old right now and just as cute as a button! She doesn't like to be cold (me neither!) so she came in immediatly after pictures were taken!
