New Arrivals
« on: January 11, 2012, 11:16:41 pm »
Sitting at my feet in the caravan, snuggled up to the oil radiator are two little people ....two very diddy little people to be precise ;D  They arrived at a very civilised 9pm last night.  Bobby our small billy is the proud father - of a boy and a girl.  Just 10 months to the day since their big brother Finlay was born.

Mum took an instant dislike to Finlay, and stangely enough she did the same with the male this time, but was fine with the female!!

So, back to late night feeds :)

No pics yet, got to hunt for camera.

Little people are growing   - will try and get pics tomorrow.  Very tired, midnight bottle, then the male kid is awake at 4am for more :)  And its hard work getting out of a warm bed on a frosty night to give him a bottle.

Neighbour came for a look and was sure they were Jacob lambs!!

Bit crowded in the caravan with two humans, two kids, and the two cats.  Thankfully we are parked on a farm, so I think animals are allowed .......although usually that would be dogs and maybe cats ....not goats!!!

Congratulation  :)  I remember the night feeds had to feed every 3-4 hours last year.

Can't wait to see pic's Roxy when we were in the caravan there was me and OH, big hairy German shepherd and several batches of call ducklings - one laugh I had was the ducklings having a bath in the dogs water bowl - meanwhile the goats enjoyed the little deck outside the side of the caravan  :) :)

Brucklay, your post made me smile :)  My OH keeps grumbling about me getting up for feeds (kids feeds not mine!)  and the fact that there is no room in the caravan .....
