Never is a dull moment with kids....especially teens....I guess it still rings true today...."Boys will be, Boys".....:hugs....sure glad that he checked out basically, okay....hope the teeth won't be a major issue....:fl

thanks, the one tooth might be a challenge but will see what the dentist says when they see him.

Never a dull moment here at our house!
How am I supposed to "like" that?! Sure hope the poor kid heals quickly and the teeth can be fixed up.

I guess I can like that DD is home on break. Which is kinda weird since we just picked up DD1 from school, out until August. Even when DD2 was at Beloit spring break was early March, they most often got out for the year just after Mother's Day.

DD was off for the Easter weekend-she went back Monday, of course she was hoping that Rio would kid on Monday before she left but that didn't happen.

Rio kidded earlier today- 2 bucklings

Rio is standard and Munchkin(her daughter) is a mini

we have 6 goats kidding this year so each would have to give us 3 kids..of course one or two of the nigies could give us 4 but as of now none are looking big enough...but they do love to prove us wrong :lol:

Well you were right about your does being overachievers!! :lol:

Running behind...kind of the way things go...

2 weeks ago, DH heard one of the kids yelling...from what we could guess, the little doeling got stepped on or bumped and was struggling to get up once she laid down. When we held her, she seemed okay and the second we put her down she started having hind end problems. DH helped me look her over and nothing seemed broken or out of place(of course it's Sunday night). We ended up bringing the doeling and her sister in over night and by the next morning she was acting fine...they both went back out by mom and is just fine.

then 2 days later Obie kidded 3 doelings for us...they are smaller then what she has kidded in the past so I wasn't sure she was finished(she sure looked like she had more inside!) Of course the 2nd and 3rd kids tried to be born at the same time...I had the head and front feet of the 2nd kid along with the back feet of the 3rd kid all sticking out....thankfully, they went tangled and were able to be brought safely!!
Just finished kidding:

doeling 3(black stockings)-3.08 lbs

So tiny! Add them all together and you don't even have ONE of our male cats. The 2 bigger ones probably add up to the female cat.

We weighed Obie's kids the other day- about 2 weeks old now:
doeling 1(white hind legs)-5.22 lbs
doeling 2(white on 3 legs)-6.70 lbs
doeling 3(black stockings)-7.18 lbs

they are gaining weight and doing good! They are still in our maternity area, we have a bald eagle nest close to where we live and the eagles come over our yard almost daily so we want to make sure they are big/strong enough before putting them with the rest of the herd.
