Faye's new Scottish Attire
We went to IKEA in Massachusetts while visiting my grandmother, they had a stuffed dog and to go with it you could buy clothes for 99 cents each... I took one look at them and said to my self "Goat Clothes!" So here's Faye in her new stylin' Scottish clothes!
Gideon and Hans
Faye has been very lonely being the only kid on the farm, And the "Adults" didn't really want her hanging out with them. So to help her be less lonely I have borrowed two wethers from Larissa to keep her company.
Larissa doesn't usually name her wethers... I told her that if any nameless animal was coming to my house that it would end up with a "Nick Name"! She was okay with that!
First we had Gideon (Or Gid!). Him and Hans are Tilly's brothers (Different dad, same mother), Gideon looked a lot like her... in the face any way!
Gideon and Faye got along great but he has a new home now. He's been adopted by some one who wants to bring him on her walks every day! I think he'll be happy!
I will miss Gid!
Me and Hans!
Just today Hans came to stay with his half sis' for a while. Same dad, different mum! It get's very confusing! But don't worry... there's no inbreeding!
I really haven't gotten to know Hans yet. Faye seems to like him and My mom really likes him! She picked the name. His coloring and markings are very pretty, but I have to say I like Gideon's temperament!

Sadie is a year old
I can't believe Sadie's a year old! And if she's a year that means my brother's almost 20 (She was his year late Graduation gift)! How did that happen?
I have been working on agility training Sadie, so if I can get some one to get some pictures I may be posting some of that!

Faye Again
I took Faye out side today with the herd. It was such a beautiful day today and I wanted to see what Matilda and Pippi thought of her. They both gently head butt her a little at first. I was going to go scold them but decided that they weren't hurting her and they had to learn to accept her and she had to learn how to be in a herd. Eventually they stooped butting and only gave her warnings if she came too close. I was happy with how Faye was fitting in and how healthy she was acting.
Annika is a good mommy but not the best I've seen. I've heard of mommies who protect their baby kids and stay by them all the time. Annika lets her nurse and cleans her when she's dirty but other than that she would much rather be with the herd! That's okay though, I think she'll get better, this is just her first time kidding.
Okay, so so far all I've posted on here is my new baby...you all must think This is a pretty boring blog! Don't worry, I will eventually post more!

Meet Faye
March 9th, 2012, 10:30 (ish) AM Annika brought Faye into the world.
Momma and I slept down stairs all night listening to the baby monitor. Annika was very kind to us and had her babe during the day! It's one of the first babies we've ever had born that wasn't in the middle of the night or 3 AM!
Faye is Annika's first and only baby. She only had one.
I apologize for the bad quality of the pictures.
Annika didn't really have many contractions, and certainly not strong ones. I ended up helping her at the end cause she seemed to think she was done. It was SUCH a great experience, and I'll never forget helping to bring this baby into the world.
After Annika did some cleaning of the baby we brought Faye inside. She was wet and shivering, we wanted to get her dry. Her and I sat in the sunlight in our big window so she could dry and warm up. Sadie helped to clean her and Lila rubbed noses with her. I think the puppy has taken over role of Auntie!
I'll post some better pictures when I get them.
