Family Forum / Parenting / Step Parents / May 2006Update on Newest Rescues
Well, little Mr. Attitude has settled in pretty well. So's the little doeling we picked up the same day. We got a good bit of the colostrum I'd frozen into each of them, and now we're putting powdered colostrum into milk replacer. They've gotta have the real stuff in the first 24 hours, but after that, the powder helps. They're both eating like they're starving to death. LOL... They each had 8 oz about an hour ago, and they're nudging my legs again. A few minutes ago, they were playing across the living room from me. They're running and jumping pretty well for 2 day olds. The little buckling was trying to jump up on the footstool. Methinks they should be spending most of their time outside fairly soon. I need to go take a nap now. Shadow, the 3 wk old ram lamb, is curled up on my lap, napping. My buspar is making my head woozy. And I have to drive YD to work in an hour. I need to sleep off the effects of my meds. I'll be glad when these side effects go away.

How do you keep your flor reasonably clean? I'm guessing that these little guys are not using litter boxes or paper.

I'm guessing that these little guys are not > using litter boxes or paper. I keep a mop and a bucket of water with vinegar and soap in it sitting by the living room door at all times. And lots of toilet paper. I went through 2 rolls yesterday, plus mopping. I'm either going to put chicken wire around the old wooden playpen we've got or buy one of the newer playpens with netting. That will help a lot.

That will help a lot. Of course, when the days are nice like today, even the newborns can spend most of the day outside. YEAH!!! I didn't need to mop all day! Kitten How sweet Kitten! My Mom raised a baby goat recently and had a lot of fun with it. The mama died in kidbirth and "Mary" thinks she is a human. She is getting too big now to carry and has been outside in a small pen for quite a while. We have 5 baby chicks. I love babies! With hope and heart, Kathleen -- This year, or this month, or, more likely, this very day, we have failed to practise ourselves the kind of behaviour we expect from other people. ~ C.S.Lewis > Well, little Mr. Attitude has settled in pretty well.
