Once Coral was satisfied that Pepper was thoroughly clean and dry, she plopped herself down and snuggled right up to him in a possessive manner that I've not seen in a goat before. All of our mamas are proud of their babies, but Coral is in a league of her own. She's spent the last two nights curled up with him in the shed as well. Most of our mamas tend to put their kids down for a nap and then take a little time to themselves, but Coral is spending all of her time with her new baby for now.
As a singleton, I have a feeling this little guy is going to grow very quickly once he gets going on that udder. And as a funny note, I was talking to Phil about removing Pepper's hairless half-wattle because it looked like a long, nasty, black tick to me. I guess Coral had the same idea because when I checked on him a couple of hours later it was gone. Coral had nipped it right off! So now he's a little one-wattle goat. So funny!
Is there a more idyllic setting in which to have a baby? I ask you!
Meanwhile, can anyone see Nauti under all these kids?
Coincidentally, Phil and I just celebrated our 19th anniversary and we now have 19 goats to celebrate it with!
