I had this little hatchling and couldn’t resist using it for this “photo op.” It is about the cutest thing I have ever seen. Mandarin ducks are a Feng Shui symbol for relationships.
We took some pictures of a few of the spring 2010 kids today. The little black doe is on my Stock Sales list but looking at her here makes me want to keep her.
Things are very mello today and I am very happy because Hawks Mountain Ranch Pygoras just released their sales list (to me) today. I was the 2nd person on the list and so get to browse without the worry of anyone buying the goats I want. Lisa Roskopf (Hawks Mountain) takes deposits a year ahead of her kidding. Once the list is ready, she will email each person with a private link to the “sales list.” It is quite novel and makes you feel so special. Today is my day, and I am loving it. I keep going back and forth and looking.
Below is a picture of one of my little Pygora doelings being startled by the peacock. This little doe is also on our sales list.
Poor Doreen; I have recruited her to play with my kids and teach them yoga. She is a great sport and even figured out how to make it fun for them. It is like “Acro-yoga,” and we call it, “Cub Yoga.” She is “The Wolf” and they are her “Cubs.” I love her name, ” The Yoga Wolf .” It is so fiery and is the perfect complement for her calm demeanor. We are huge fans!
In the spirit of yoga-ing with my children, she agreed to be photographed for a display for the Murrieta Library.
