Off to your new home

The boys go to their new home today.  They are 8 weeks old and wild teenage boys.  They are going to a 2 acre home in Golden ( West of Denver) to be loved by a new family and help mow the weeds.  It has been non stop laughs around here.  Goat babies are the best

Happy Birthday America 239 years

Fireworks are just fun.  We all went to the Rapids (soccer) game for the 4th of July.  There is a great fireworks display after the game.

Goodbye my Sophie love

Sophie went to doggy heaven this week.  She was a good old dog and I will miss her.  Before the vet came to our house we did a few last things.  Of course we went for a walk.  Like all dogs Sophie loved her walks.  Then we fingerprinted or I guess that would be paw painted.  And before she left she had a treat of chocolate.  Thirteen years was a long time together:

Naughty on the quilt

Last love fest

Six weeks old

Eleven tornados in 2 days. Yikes

Oh my!  I thought our rain would never stop in May.  It rained- and I mean RAINED- 29 out of the 31 days in May.  June started with a couple of sunny days sprinkled with afternoon showers but the storms came back again with a vengeance.  Lightning, thunder, hail and RAIN for 4 hours Thursday night.  Then Friday Lightning, thunder and rain on high speed.   I have vowed not to spend one more *$*@%^*!!!!! dime on my garden this year.  It is 90% for waste.  I planted these beautiful irises last year....I love the really dark purple lower part and then the storm
Wow it is no wonder I named one of my little bucklings  "Storm"  I should have named the other "Thunder"

MaMas and boys

CoCo and Storm

Sunflower and Ash

These boys are growing- 3 weeks and they have mastered the barnyard obstacle course but they do stop and snuggle with their MaMas...  yes...these boys have two MaMas   Of course Sunny gave birth to both of them and CoCo did not have any babies this time but CoCo makes a wonderful Aunt.  In the goat world kids tend to stick to their own mothers but they love Aunt CoCo too.

Two goats on two chairs

These 10 day old little bucklings are too darn cute.  This morning they discovered the chairs.  They are mostly used for children to sit in but they are kids, aren't they?
It looks like there are no babies for CoCo this year but she does make a very fun Aunt.  Watch these little kids repel of the side of the barn.

Welcome Sunny's boys

Oh my we have been waiting for these babies to get here.  After lots of goat sitting and extreme changes in weather Sunny had her day on Thursday.  At was sunny and warm....a good day for birth.   Storm and Ash.......both boys.....can you even tell them apart?  It's hard.  This video is when they are 14 hours old.  A few hours later they were out in the barnyard exploring their world.

Welcome to the world boys!!!!
