Nutmeg’s baby, all dried up and pretty today.
I’m holding him a little bit every time I go in there so he will make a sweet pet. He already comes to me.
(Halfway managing to take a picture of myself.)
Everybody’s fascinated with WHAT is going on in the closed-up goat house.
Especially papa.
Even Glory Bee wants to see!
But for now, he only has me and mommy and–
–the chickens.
And that’s probably for the best because I don’t know what’s going to happen when he gets out of there and calls her–
–Granny Nanny!

You’re making me want another baby or two! Two of my nubians were babies when I got them. Cocoa was only a month old and we bottle-fed him so he’s so sweet and gentle. I’ve found all boys are (they’re all wethers). Two of mine are pygmies and three are nubians and Bubba, well, we’re not sure what he is! He’s part pygmy and we think buffalo (just kidding). Someone came to our place and wanted to know where we got a mini buffalo and they were serious – he was not amused! Can I blame you when my husband gives me the look when I start talking baby goats again? :snoopy:

AWWW!! I’d have a hard time putting that cutie patootie down. I am quite envious, not in a bad way of course. I know farming is not easy, but just look at the rewards!

Nancy in Iowa says:
What an absolute doll! If Clover objects to being called Granny Nanny, tell her to call me. I was hoping little grandson Henry would call me Granny Nanny, but I was just with him for about 6 days before he turned 1, and he wasn’t calling me anything yet! :happyflower:

Granny Nanny is cute! When my son was very young, we took trips to a petting farm (Bluebird Gap Farm), and the baby goats were our very favorites!

If papa is Mr. Pibb…then maybe the baby can be named Dr. Pepper. Hehee…very cute. Congratulations to everyone!

Granny Clover is going to love him. Just watch out Clover doesn’t declare Nutmeg an unfit mother just so she can steal the kid.

Aww, he’s going to look just like one of my wethers, Luke. Is it warm enough in WV for him this time of year? We’re freezing here in Indy.

Frosty is a cute name. He was born in the snow and he has frosty coloring on his ears. Just a thought. :fairy:

The markings on the top of his head looks like what a badger would look like (I think – I could be wrong), so maybe you can call him Badger? He’s sooooooooo cute!!!

My husband insists that I tell you that he thinks the name should be Dr. Pepper. There, I told you, now he can leave me alone! Ha ha! 😉

He reminds me of Honey his long lost Uncle. I bet he turns out just as sweet. There were two goats in the paper to give away today. I so wish.

Look at his cute little nubbins on the top of his head.
This poor little guy was born the other day in Colorado but only lived a couple of minutes. https://www.lajuntatribunedemocrat.com/features/x493325799/Siamese-lamb-born-in-Swink
I’m so glad everything went okay with Nutmeg & her baby.

Darlene in North Ga says:
Yup, I think you’re right. I can see the “twitch” in her eye even as we speak! Granny Nanny is a young swinging thing who does NOT want to be referred to as Granny, Nanny nor any other derivative of Grandma! She is to be called CLOVER by one and all. And it is to be “Queen Clover” from the Woman.

Well Mr Cutie blew my thoery. He is not exactly colored like Mr Pibb. BBBBUUUUUTTTTT, if I could get my hands on him and love him too. I don’t have any idea how cute heck is but, he takes the cake.
I can see everybody is in love!!! See GB another one just like you (a baby). :hug:

He is just the cutest! I don’t know how you put him down. I would be cuddling him all the time. Tell Clover there is nothing wrong with being a “Grand” mother. :yes:

He is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cute. I’d love to hold him. I think I’d want to take him inside and rock him and feed him a bottle if I had him. Of course, Mama would have to go along too to ensure her that he is safe. Maybe she’d like watching tv or just hangin’ out for a while. She has to be proud! :heart:
