She's been tugging on our emotions forever, so much so that I was about ready to rename her April the Gingiraffe, but today she is showing clear signs that the little rugrats are on the way. Will it be today? Tonight? Tomorrow? When we know, you'll know; but the time is nigh.

Did you know that goats can see 340 degrees at the same time? Like, seriously panoramic vision. They have left vision, right vision, and stereoscopic vision to the front. What that means is that they see everything. Even when you think they aren't looking, they're watching...

Dixie has decided it's time to graze. Dixie doesn't feel like waiting until we are ready. Dixie has been watching and seems to have figured out the gate latch. The good news is that she hasn't figured out how to pull the gate to open it while she's standing on it to reach the latch. (And nobody better tell her...)

There's an old saying, "A man who has no problems should get a goat."

Have you ever been to a casino, or a horse race, or even a football game? You're so sure of your belief in the outcome that you're willing to risk your very own, hard-earned, cash to prove it. Then you lose, you were wrong... You can't admit it, it was bad referees, the jockey ate too much, the dealer dealt from the bottom of the deck; anything other than you were wrong. Two months later, you're complaining about the event (again) and you're buddy calls you out on it. Finally, you admit it, you were wrong.

Well, for us here at PG Ranch, today is that day. Ginger, being Ginger, fooled us. While we know she was bred for a due date of mid-to-late July, she was having contractions at the right time for us to believe that our attempts at AI had been successful. The evidence of her gigantic belly, softened tail ligaments, and engorged udder, combined with those (now recognized as Braxton-Hicks) contractions fooled us. We are failures at AI, we're ok with that because now we have Poppa, the best danged little buck. But, for those of you (and us) anxiously awaiting some new kids... we're still 5 weeks from Gingy and 6 weeks from Sailer's due dates. If anything changes, we'll let you know.

We're kicking off a new project, an exciting project, the best project on the internet..... GoatTV! If you've visited PG Ranch, you know we've got some cameras. Well, we're going to start streaming those to the WORLD! And, as blog readers, you get in before anyone else. This may become a paid service at some point, but you, you get it for free. You are the beta testers. (You should expect disappointment as we work on perfecting the platform.)
