A Miracle

Last night my husband Rick went out to trim the goats hooves and he came in and said, "Well, I'm gonna go back out to the goats, I think Honey is having her babies, and smiled. I got up and ran out the door. Quietly we went inside and waited. For a while she had contractions. She got up and down up and down. She couldn't get comfortable. She did this for about an hour then she started to push by now almost all the family was out there. Let's see.. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, where's the Other Boy? (His nickname.) Oh wait, he's inside playing his video games. One of my daughters went inside and told him to come out. But he was to busy feeding on electricity. Anyway. here's some pictures.  She did that for a while and I went out to get some shavings for the babies. I spread them out then we waited for about another half hour. Then she REALLY started to push. Hey, what's that? A head!!! A baby's head!! Wait, it's feet are supposed to come out first! I put out on one of my gloves, I had to go in. I tried pushing it's head back in, no it won't work. So I slid in under it's head and grabbed it's feet. Thank you Rick for hold in her down. I grabbed it's feet and pulled them out. There. Now honey gave a couple more pushes and it slid right out. We used a puppy pad and dried it off. Wow! Those lessons on the computer paid off! I watched videos on how to do that! Dang!! That baby is really big! I grabbed another puppy pad and dried off the baby. Here's some pictures.

Here's the buck, (male goat) being very annoyed with all the commotion.

The BIG baby!

Honey licking it clean.

Another on the way!!! Oops, no picture of it. It basically looks EXACTLY like it's sibling except a dark brown.
