If you missed my CITR newsletter insider preview yesterday (what? are you not on the newsletter? find out how to subscribe), our newest bottle cap has a name! He’s Dr. Pepper. He’s just a little doctor. Like Doogie Howser!
And here’s the bouncing baby video:
Gem says:
Help! I can’t view the video. (I suspect it’s me) What do I need to do?

Suzanne McMinn says:
Gem, it could be the speed of your internet, I don’t know! You could also try viewing it at youtube instead. The link to my youtube is in the sidebar in the About Me section.

What a doll. It always amazes me that little cloven-hooved rascals are folded up nicely inside Mama, then slide out and become bouncing balls.

I was kinda wondering if that was going to be his name! Love it. Although from the way he is starting out the Wal-Mart Dr. Thunder name might be more appropriate!!! He is just an adorable little thing!

He is so cute bouncing around! And Dr. Pepper is a great name, honoring both the soda theme and the spice theme. I love the dark stripe down his back. His coloring is truly beautiful.

northcountrygirl says:
He’s such a cutey! I love his dark booties on each foot. He has a “mask” over both eyes. I love the way he’s so full of life and bounces around the yard. Dr. “Peppy” Pepper. :sheepjump:

I cannot wait to have some goat babies running around here! I am on a budget and stickin’ to the plan right now and it will be another 2 years before we can add goats (gotta pay off a student loan first). Argh! You are killing me with all this cuteness! 😉

Anyone who can watch this baby bounce and not be smiling, if not laughing outright, doesn’t have a heart. He’s beautiful! Welcome to Stringtown Rising Farm, Doctor….The Doctor is IN!!

I’m with Holly on the Flying Nun ears, but thought I would be divulging my age…pfft! Dr Pepper is adorable and his ‘full carbonation’ is apparent!

So I know this post is about the baby who is totally adorable… but gosh BP is so loud in the background! And it’s funny because I’ve heard you comment that she’s the dinosaur of the group, but I’ve never really understood until I heard that. Gosh, she is a dinosaur. It would kind of be scary to wake up and hear that thing bellowing outside!

Suzanne, I’m not getting the newsletter any more!!! I didn’t get it last month, so I signed up again, and I didn’t get your preview yesterday. It’s not in my junk or spam either. I changed my email from verizon to frontier and updated it, and received your newsletter at the new address until recently. Whaaaaah, I want my newsletter! Should I sign up again?

I didn’t know baby goats were so sproingy. That video cheered me up just when I needed it. 🙂

whaledancer says:
Dr. Pepper is just what I was calling him in my head! Son of Mr Pibb and Nutmeg, it’s the perfect name, honoring both lines. He even LOOKS like he should be named Dr. Pepper.
But I think your Dr Pepper must be extra high caffeine, from the way he bounces! He has such pretty markings, and so much energy. He makes me laugh with delight. “At 10, 2, and 4, you’ll always want more!” (Does that date me?)

That is just so stinking cute! How are you getting anything else done around there? Or are you getting anything else done? I could and watch that little Dr. all day long!

Suzanne, It’s not your fault and you don’t have to apologize. I do appreciate you checking into it…maybe I’ll start receiving them again as quickly as they stopped – LOL! Who knows where they are…out there in never, neverland I guess! (I can always read them a month late, I know how to get there!)
Thanks again, and Dr. Pepper is so sweet and adorable!!!!

He is so cute, dancing around Mama, I think he wanted her to play with him, but she was busy eating, just so adorable. Thank you for the movie of him, brought a smile to my face. Good thing I don’t have goats, he might just be in the house because he is just to cute! :snoopy:

What breed is this little guy?
On January 15, 2011 at 8:42 am
Suzanne McMinn says:
Michele, he is half Fainting goat, half Nigerian Dwarf. They are both small size (smaller than a standard goat), so he will be little like the rest of them.

Dr. Pepper is such a cute baby goat! I think I would call him Boots once in awhile though because he looks like he’s wearing a couple pairs! 🙂

lavenderblue says:
So, so cute. It’s a soda and a spice. Two, two, two treats in one! And I can see that he is keeping very warm. I’m very happy. It wasn’t that I thought you weren’t providing for him and Mom, I just wondered how you could keep a little baby like that warm enough. I know lambs born in the winter often suffer hypothermia and outside of bringing everybody in to the woodstove (which I know you would do, if possible), I’d have no idea what to do.
