If you follow the page on facebook, you might know that my mom's computer has been hi-jacked. She cannot seem to get it fixed, so I am filling in for her right now. I usually write on the Kid's Blog, but right now I am writing for both. She will be back soon! - Grace
WELL, there is certainly a lot going on here! We found out that our little Nigerian Dwarf doe, Hazel, is pregnant. I had noticed for about 2 months that she was developing a small udder, which I figured might be a precocious udder, as I didn't know what else to think about it. I figured I would contact Hazel's previous owner to be sure of what was going on, and she answered with a very surprising email! She said that our tiny little Hazel was pregnant! She looks fairly big in pictures, but if you are right next to her, she is very small. I have been thinking about how many kids she will have, and I believe she will have twins (doelings, I hope!). That would be so much easier on her. The buck she is bred to is a Nigerian Dwarf (VERY thankful for that!), AND, he is spotted and polled! We should actually have some neat little babies from her! She IS showing a few signs of impending labor, such as her raised tail-head, sunken hips, and... okay, fine. That's all... BUT, some does show no signs at all and out pops a kid, so I will be going out to check on here in a bit! So, here are some pictures of our little Hazel, who could be due anytime:
