Plus the youngest among them would probably be eating dirt for a snack and I'm not sure that their parents would like that :gig

Wishing your day goes quickly so that you can get out in the dirt later :D
My niece would deffenently be the one eating the dirt.

We had a relative have twin boys, and when they are walking she got a 10 x 12 chain link dog kennel and set it next to her garden, so she could get gardening done. You just need a couple dog kennels and you will be all set to garden. :lol:

I am not joking, they really put them in a dog kennel. Yes, my husband and I thought it was very odd.

That's actually a good idea! It's the same idea as fencing your yard to keep the kids out of the road just on a smaller scale. You could control where the kids were and what they play with and they would have plenty of room to explore! Plus it protects them from stray dogs getting to them too! :lol:

Just like a giant playpen. I don't think daycare licensing would let me do that. :p But I do sometimes have the kids play in the yard while I work on the other side of the fence. But with the baby around, I really get nothing productive done. :/

Started my kidding thread. :weee Still have 61 days to wait for babies but I couldn't help myself. :p
Here is the link to it. http://www.backyardherds.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=18459

I made a milkstand all by myself. :D I tried it out with all the girls and it was their first time on a stand so it was a little crazy. First I had to lift their rear ends up on it because they could smell the grain and just did spazzy circles all around it tangling me in their lead ropes. :rolleyes: Once on it they stood perfectly still until their grain was inhaled and then they freaked out and threw themselves off of it with their heads still locked up. I will keep practicing until we get it! I may need to make a wooden one that is bigger for my nubian girls because they are a little rough on the PVC one. My nigerians were great on it.

Here is my handy work.

After a full day of driving, 6 hours to be exact. I have my 2 new does!!!! I have my first registered Kinder doeling and my first registered nubian doeling with lots of Goldthwaite in her blood. :weee :weee I don't have a new picture of the nubian doeling, she is getting a little freaked out and I can't get her to hold still at this time. I will try when I go check on them a little later. The nubian girl is getting weaned so it not happy with the world.

Here is her hind end view at the breeders house.

She looks like a cutie.

The nubian looks beautiful from what I can see. I love black and white goats.

Best of happiness with your new goats! :D

Awww, they are so cute! Congrats on your new goaties. It's always such fun to add one or more to the herd by kidding or by purchase ;)
