I discovered this morning that Penny is the more adventuresome of the two kids. I have a pile of shredded tarp on the back patio that is part of a horse obstacle I'm building. It was blowing around like crazy this morning in the terrible wind storm we had. All the goats were pretty suspicious of it, but Penny was very curious and kept approaching it with wide, nervous eyes. She would run away when it would flap at her, but she couldn't resist going straight back to investigate again.
How did I get into this predicament?
Penny's poor little head is raw right now from disbudding last week. She reacted more than most, but even though it has stayed red for a long time it doesn't seem to hurt her at all. I think it bothers me more than it bothers her. This little one is as soft as a rabbit. She's incredibly fun to cuddle, and she's starting to jump up on my knees and ask to be picked up now.
It was warm out so I removed my barn jacket and laid it over a rock. Penny was immediately drawn to it. She started pawing at it, discovered it was a cozy thing to lay down on, and promptly turned it into a nest for herself.
No, you can't share!
In other news, Nauti and TinCup are showing, and we've regularly felt babies kicking! Nauti is due May 6th and TinCup on May 16th.
