Walked over to the buck pen, and Sparta was giving me a forlorn stare from inside the gate.
HUH??!??!??
Turns out Moon and Lance busted through the gate at the far end of the pen, then moseyed through the south field, got their bellies full, and took their repose under the shade of a pecan tree.
So Sparta is only willing to leave the pen when he can use his stealth skills?
Or perhaps he just prefers to fly Han?
Goats.
In other news, Peaches is now officially bucket trained.
WOOOO HOOOOO!!!
Once again, we followed Susan Dear Susan's example, and constructed a Big Pink Mama feeding bucket out of a Hawaiian Punch bottle. We are calling it Aloha Mama.
Aloha Mama is perfect for feeding one or two kids, and exquisite for feeding indoors.
Peaches is turning out to be what Susan calls a "monster kid."
I do believe she is consuming more milk per feeding at this stage than any kid we have ever had.
Which is a good thing.
This means she is healthy and growing.
Or that she was in fact born with a deformity.
The proverbial hollow leg.
At any rate, the last two days, she would drink a full bottle, go outside for a nature break to make more room, then whine and cry for another bottle.
Have you ever seen the thing they do at frat parties or whatever...or perhaps you have done it yourself....i have never seen it done except in the movies...and i most certainly have never done it myself...WAIT...i am on a bunny trail (must be Easter)...that thing where someone tilts their head back, and downs an entire beer in one gulp?
Well, THIS goat can do that with milk.
Am now looking for one of those stupid hats with the cupholders and straws on it.
Anyway, Aloha Mama is gonna eliminate the midnite feedings, and allow Peach Blossom to get her fill any time she feels peckish.
LET THE SNACKING BEGIN!!!!!!!
