Big Surprise!

Gabby had a baby! Total shock to us because we didn't know she was pregnant. I went out on Sunday morning to feed everyone and found Gabby in labor. I called Nicole and had her come over at 7 AM! I was not doing this on my own. It was very upsetting because a couple hours into it we relized the baby was turned sideways and couldn't come out. Nicole tried to get it out but could only get one leg. We then started calling vets but the ones I could get a hold of didnt do goats and the others just wouldn't answer. My horse vet finally called back and said to bring her in. She had to do a csection on her. Momma and baby are doing good right now but Gabby is on antibiotics to fight infection. If she makes it a week she will most likely survive this ordeal. Im exhausted and tired of animals! Im just hoping I get a break before the next ordeal occurs!

Baby Chick



On top of our new puppy, we have a new baby chick! One of Brooke's friends brought it to us on Sunday night. It is the same breed as Butterscotch chicken that Ashlyn has. Brooke wanted one too so now she has one. The breeder only had one. Nicole went to the feed store to try and get another baby for it but they didn't have any. We had to give it a stuffed bunny as a friend. Im hoping that it will be ok and grow up real fast! Most importantly, I hope it is a girl!


New Puppy




Here is our new addition to the family. Her name is Leah. She is such a sweet little puppy. She is an Australian Shepherd like Wyatt but a different color. We were so sad about Wyatt that we needed some happiness back in our house. She definately brings that! She has been really good. She sleeps in her crate at night and only crys when she needs to go out. Right now she goes out a couple times a night but its not bad. Its like having a baby again! Hopefully we have 14 great years with this little girl as we did with Wyatt!
