We have had 2 new additions to the zoo in the last few months and I have neglected to give them their debut on the blog. The family as well as Zac and Hayley went on a cruise in October. While we were gone, my Dad, came over here daily to check on Maple the momma goat that was going to pop any day. Luckily she held out and the day after we got back, we went to check on her and got over just as she was having the baby. This baby goat is now almost 4 months old and is hilarious. She is the nosiest baby goat I have ever seen and will follow you around any place you go.
Fast forward 2 months and it is the day after Christmas. Unlike Maple, we were not sure when Josie became pregnant so we had no clue when her due date was going to be. The day after Christmas Rod went to go check on the goats and he got over there just minutes after Baanelli was born. It was a terribly cold night and we had to bring her into the house to get her dry from the birth. We heated up towels and put them in their house as well as fresh blankets and hay.
Both kids are doing great and have adjusted to life at our zoo just fine :-)
