February 21, 2008: Daisy is a MOTHER!!!!
OK – OK – don’t get excited. Daisy did not have puppies. BUT SHE DOES HAVE FIVE BABY GOATS!!!!! That is right. Joey’s father runs a farm with goats. They have about 15+ new baby goats. Two of the mothers have shunned their babies and that means that Joey’s mother has to take care of them. They have brought the babies inside the house and are hand feeding (bottle) them. Daisy, apparently, has decided that she is the mother. When the goats start to cry Daisy runs in and checks on them. She has been licking on them and after they bottle feed Daisy comes along and licks around their mouth.
So it seems that Daisy has taken to the babies! I can only imagine!!!! Now the question is – will Daisy want to come back home with us!!!
