Sunday. We woke up early to rain. I know we need the rain but this is getting to be too much. Sage made it through the night with her Mom but doesn't seem to be gaining much ground. She is always by herself while Sunni and Sierra are together.

Donny and Dusty went out to run errands and get feed. I picked up the house, got all he dogs fed and gave Emma Lee her bottle. She is getting to be a handfull running and jumping on all the furniture. Her favorite napping spot is the couch. I went down to check on Sage again.

Tony came by and stayed the afternoon. They all went to get some lumber to build troughs for the goats. I got out during a break in the drizzle and trimmed some more trees so you didn't get your head knocked off while mowing.

I went to feed just as they were getting the troughs finished. Gilee, the sick goat, is standing up now but is still very weak. Her appetite is great though. I got the new troughs while the Boer goats got the old ones. We noticed that some of the Boer does are getting close to kidding. That will be something else to watch out for. I also have two Nigerian Dwarf goats close to kidding, Blueberry and Shelly. Blueberry has had a baby but Shelly has not.

We brought Sage in before going to bed. I got a diaper on her and got her settled into the laundry basket. All the dogs checked her out and Emma Lee jumped in the basket with her. Emma Lee was not too pleased that someone else was getting a bottle. We got everyone settle and got to bed early.
