Seeing Double

Notice anything new about this picture? ; D

We were so wiped out after mass today after the long weekend and night checks last night on the bucks.  Allen and I napped late this afternoon and at 5 I walked out to see the buck kids.  Allen had said look, the girls let the kids out to play.  I thought that was weird because we planned to keep them in the kidding pen for a few days.  I went to ck and saw no girls.  Was trying to get the kids to nurse and thinking how dirty they got and why did anyone let them outside anyway.  Then Allen yells from the fence "That’s OPAL not Sapphire!"  Sure enough.  She kidded some time this afternoon with no fanfare or assistance.  All is well. We have two new does from her – Pearl and Amethyst.

  1. Amazing! From the traumatic high tech cat delivery at the beginning of the week to the unassisted “appearance” of the does–with Alan’s midwifery debut in the middle–y’all have had quite a week!
