Bye, Kids!
Guy came to pick up the babies yesterday and I got to snuggle them one more time. He told me #21 would probably travel to Oregon when he is old enough. A friend really wants a buck for his farm up there, and Guy owes a favor. It makes me very happy to think that Sheila's babies will carry on her lineage with lots of bouncy little kids in the future. Sheila came out of the stall for the first time since delivery, and Tessie immediately felt the need to put Sheila at the back of the line again. The only good thing about this fight was that it took Sheila's mind off the kids' departure. Everybody, and especially Poppy, seemed happy to get back into their own room last night. This morning will be Sheila's first experience with being milked. We'll see if our months of dry runs will pay off.

I guess when they say that we are all "creatures of habit," you can attest to that for sure. I'm glad that #21 will have a future and a purpose, and I hope the milking went well...and that Uma and #21 will settle in with their new mama. And just think...you didn't have to put the trash out (or did you not leave it there yesterday??) Wishing you sunshine!
