This little lady has been doing VERY good helping as I finish (I hope!) a chapter draft of my PhD.
Yes, it's inconvenient to type while holding her paw, but she gives very good licks and nose bumps, and occasionally whinnies to remind me of walk time (which is apparently all the time).
Anyway, happy Solstice, y'all. The shortest day, the turning point is here!
Baby Violet, June 2015

Violet is one of our triplet sisters (with Lily and Petunia) born less than a mile from Milk Barn Farm on my birthday. She is one of the OG five.
Button, July 2022.

Button is the youngest of Peach’s quads. He was originally named Egon Spengler. His brothers? Peter Venkman, Ray Stanz, and Winston Zeddemore.
Our next rooster will be Walter Peck. Feel free to use that name. It’s the perfect rooster name.
My rescue pup spent the first 6 months of her life on her own in a shed, then the next year at an SSPCA shelter. When I adopted her, she had no experience of the outside world so was terrified to step out the front door. Now, she’s happy to come hiking with me. Sometimes, though, when we come across a view, she stops and sits for a few minutes to absorb her surroundings before we can move on again. Here, she’s taking in the view above Achnashellach in Torridon.
Baby Trillium, May 2018.
#DailyGoat #Goats #GoatsOfMastodon
Trill was the third of Lily's triplets. With Lily developing mastitis in one teet, we had to make sure that Trill and her siblings were getting enough milk. Baby goats were weighed daily in a bowl on a kitchen scale in the barn. In the end, we were able to bottle-feed Trill and her sister Tulip with milk from our other mothers.
