"The big boys are so much fun! I want to play!"
Tigerlily has no fear of getting rough-and-tumble with Sledge and Hammer despite their larger size! She's a bold little thing!
First kiss...
Jezebel says, "Enough of this! You stay away from those boys! They're nothing but trouble!"
I'm afraid poor Tigerlily is leading a pretty sheltered life so far. You know what they say about mothers who start too late in life... they act more like grandparents than parents, and that fits Jezebel to a T. The poor baby is constantly getting herded along, micromanaged, and told "Don't touch this!" "Don't play with that!" "Stay away from them!" "Sit in that corner and don't move!" She desperately wants to play with the other baby goats, but Jezebel invariably herds her away from them or bites their ears if they come in for a closer look. I actually had to hold Jezebel out of the way to get these brief shots of Tigerlily playing with the boys. In fact, in nearly every shot of Tigerlily, I had to crop Jezebel's head out of the picture, since she was constantly coming in to sniff, lick, and check for problems before pushing Tigerlily out of the action. She doesn't want anyone near her baby, including me and Phil. The poor kid is going to end up a social pariah if this keeps up! It's a good thing the little baby has a mind and legs of her own, and she's fast learning to use them. Tigerlily is going to learn real soon that if she runs quick enough, mama won't be able to keep up.
