Have you tried ice cream yet? So good!
So today I got the schedule for rendy posted here, checked on my alpine doe, who is looking very ready, then came back in to clean kitchen and finish laundry. Aria (grand daughter) wanted to go out and play so I cleared all the vegetation out of 1/3 the yard to get ready to replant while she played. 4 hours later done with the yard, checked the doe. She's relaxed, chewing her cud, so I figure the doe code card is being played. Fixed lunch for Aria then checked the doe. Nothing. Husband gets home from golfing and we decide to go down to the Ogden camp so I can get site pics for everyone to see. One more time to check the doe and there are two lovely girls wet and crying out. Momma is a quick one! After helping clean them off and getting the doe comfortable I weighed the girls-10# each! So now I need to make sure the week old babies have somewhere to be overnight so get the dogloo out of the 4 month olds pen cleaned out and stuffed with straw and drug around to the back runs. It's 9:30 by now. I check the doe and babies again and check the last pregnant doe-ligs are starting to loosen. I need her to hold off for a week-I'm guessing she's waiting for the full moon-I hope!
What a day. Tomorrow, rendy posting and a phone chat with Larry from NAPgA and finally get down to the camp-maybe.
