Hark! Do I hear a bleating?
Yup – you guessed it. We might be having kids. Perry, our animal guru, thinks that both Rosie (brown and white, above) and Bonnie (mostly black), may each be pregnant. And he thinks the little guy in the middle is the the ram that did it.
Perry said not to let size fool you. Small in stature, Cookie is still a full grown male (we thought he was just a kid when we got him – turns out he is a miniature and just small by nature). And apparently when goats go into heat, ‘there is nothing that can keep them from getting pregnant if there is any kind of a ram around – big, small, or invisible.’
So, we are so excited at the potential of new kids (and remember, little lambs might be on the way too!). This could be one lovely, vibrant spring around here at The Doctor’s House. We’ve got lots of weddings planned, lots of spring bulbs planted, and possibly lots of baby farm animals on the way. And it doesn’t get any better than that.
