Baby Critters

Well, two pairs of pigeons hatched two babies each this last week, but sadly I only have one left.  The others died for all different reasons.  The last survivor was "kicked out of the nest" so to speak and I am now its care taker. 

We went riding on the 4th and while doing so, I spotted a baby jackrabbit.  After dismounting and chasing it for a while, I successfully caught it.  It screamed like crazy for a long time, then calmed down.  When we got home we put it in my dog carrier, and named it Harley.  The cute thing is so fun to feed and watch as it runs about the house when permitted by everyone involved.

Then yesterday (Mon.) two of our goats had kids!  One had triplets and the other had only one.  One of the triplets wasn't drinking her milk and was quickly losing energy; we brought her to the house and shot a few syringes of her mother's milk down her throat.  In just a few hours, the little girl, Arendelle, was up and ready to nurse from a bottle!  That was so encouraging.  She roamed about our kitchen and drank half of her bottle of milk.  By evening, we knew that she could go back to her mom.

But, what a sight, sound, and thought of having a pigeon, rabbit, and goat all staying in our house!  Oh, what fun it was though!  I went from one animal to the next, feeding each one.  Our family is great about letting all sorts of animals in the house.  I like that about them.
