Phil and I soon started bringing Rita's kids into the basement for playtime with George and Butterfly. Sonic loved the box as much as anyone. It was delicious!
Saturday, May 9th was a banner day for Butterfly. She got up 3-4 times on her own and was strong enough to wobble around with the other kids. Rita was extremely gentle with her. In fact, when I introduced Rita to George and Butterfly, she looked as though she wanted to adopt them. "You mean I get to have more babies??"
Butterfly and Zelda made friends right away. George was getting too rough for Butterfly, and Sonic was too shy, but Zelda was just right!
With Rita acting as babysitter, Skeeter seized the opportunity to take George out for his first adventure. George was bursting at the seams to explore and hang out with the big goats. He'd been cooped up too much as company for Butterfly, and he'd been a good boy, but he really needed an outlet.
At first I worried that if Skeeter spent too much time with just George, she would forget she had a second baby. My fears were unfounded.
Handsome boy! Two-tone chamoisee is one of my favorite colors. Our first doe, Nibbles, was a two-tone chamoisee with a white face.
What a lovely, colorful bunch!
