Cool Weather

Today brought overcast and cool. Baby Reggie (Oregano), a little Nubian buck bottle feeder that belongs to Griffins' Ark, is starting to settle in.  The doe we were hoping would foster him is not interested, but the micro flock he is with is accepting him well.  So he's being bottle fed, and cuddling up with the other goats at night.  Yesterday, he only played with the chickens.  Today it was good to see him following my older, Nubian nurse maid doe around, and pretending to play with the other goats.  They are all stodgy "old" ladies, mostly pregnant, and find his shenanigans mildly amusing and mainly irritating.
So here he is -- the chickens made a nice heap of hay, and he curled up in the middle.  One of his half brothers is supposed to be coming here from the farm to keep him company.

Poor Fawn is still very pregnant -- wishing every day, but no more than I, that she would kid.  I hope your Thanksgiving was full of feasting, friends, and other good things!

Have a lovely day.
