The Goatlympians: Part 2, with an update on Puddins

The Goatlympians: Part 2, with an update on Puddins

Puddins has been doing wonderful! She is now allowed to go out in the big pasture with the nannies in the daytime instead of being penned up in her stall all the time (which she hates).  Her stitches were looking perfect, no redness, puffiness, or pus at all.  Then she started picking at them.  They look the same except that the thread is hanging in loops.  She is such a super goat that she waited 4 weeks before she even picked them but by then the stitches were dissolved and were breaking off anyways.  The best salve to us is Equaide.



We banded the boys, so now they are whethers.  We were tired of separating them from the girls because they were trying to breed them, so now they can live together.

On to what ya'll have been waiting for.  Part 2 of the Goatlympians!!

When there was still snow(they were only a week or two old)

An assortment of photos of the baby Goatlympians



Perfectly in line! Left to right: KitKat, Clove, Spicy, Mercy




I got pictures of the babies as they raced by.  Here are pics of them running in front of me.


All of them running and disappearing




A cool pic of Tulip








Good stop, Mercy!


Miracle preparing to buck



Note Mercy jumping


This was an awesome photo of Miracle leaping in the air!









I persuaded Dock to walk up the driveway so I could get pictures of all the babies running.  



Now they are running back to me.  Nova is also engaging in the race, and of course she wins with her long legs!











After a long post, you will get an even longer post tomorrow, continuing The Goatlympians: Part 3
