What a crazy, exciting, sad, sleep deprived, (& expensive!) first quarter you've had in 2015! 
Now that the kidding is behind you, and Callie is virtually back at 100%, and the pups are all at about the "going to their final forever homes" stage, things will/should/might settle down a bit and become more "normal". Like that's any less hectic, right? When do you find time to keep up all these threads? 
Do you EVER get any sleep? 
When's the move happening? Isn't that right around the corner? I HATE moving! 24 years in the military moving on average every 4-5 years, and about the same since I retired (2000). I figure I have one more in me, and where I land after that one is where I'll be when my "planting time" comes. Just want a small acreage (50-100) with year round running water (or spring fed pond, with fish would be a plus), not too many "close" neighbors, no big cities too close by, hunt-able game on the property (deer, hog, etc.) and "reasonably" priced. Not askin' for much aye?
Seeing all those pictures of your goats and their kids... Just makes me want some of my own. Never had goat's milk, but LOVE cow milk! Drink about 1/2 gallon a day. Have heard yuck and yum descriptions... soon will have to try it and decide myself. Better know what I'll be in for when I start my herd. Need to do a LOT of research yet...

@Latestarter; I would advise that when you try goats milk, make sure to try it from someone who doesn't keep their bucks in with their does; I've heard that it makes the milk taste bad. If the does are kept separate and milk is handled properly, it is good!! I first tried it at a friends house, and it was good!What a crazy, exciting, sad, sleep deprived, (& expensive!) first quarter you've had in 2015!

Our little Mini-Mancha doeling and our Mini-Nubian doeling left today.
We had reserves on them. I went back and forth as I really wanted to retain the mini-mancha doe but they have waited so long and of course there were little children involved... what was I gonna do...
No way I could disappoint them. They are going to a great home!
Being bottle babies they follow the children everywhere!
Princess has two brothers- we think one was an identical twin... he is crying for her they have been inseparable. Poor boy.
Sapphire's brother "Elliott" is kinda clueless.... he just keeps looking everywhere but can't find her. LOL
