Pepper had her babies on Feb 7, 2011!! She had two tiny babies - both black - one boy and one girl. They both have blue eyes (like their sire). The boy has a little white spot on his forehead that looks like a star, so we've named him Polaris. The little girl is still nameless at this point.
Pepper is turning out to be a good mom. She's still skittish of us, but she's attentive but not overly protective of her babies.
Since our herd is currently at 7 (for now), I thought I'd mention everyone:
Pepper (left) and Skylark (right)
Here is the proud momma, post birth. She and Skylark (the goat with white on her face) are butting heads a bit, but Skylark is definitely cutting the new mom some slack.
Dollar - who is HUGE for a Nigerian Dwarf wether. Dollar loves to be pet and will actualy choose to be scratched over food!
Daisy - our sweet little girl. She's very curious and loves attention. Her favorite past time is following humans around as we do our chores!
Buddy - our first wether and the only Pygora of the bunch. Buddy is kind of a bully to the other goats, but he is definitely entertaining!

Congrats to the proud parents! How was the 5k? I feel bad because you signed up but I couldn't do it.
Nah, don't feel bad! I enjoyed myself! I actually ended up second in my age group which is damn funny considering how slow I am. I guess there was a shortage of 40 - 44 year olds at the race!
I hope you knee is better soon!
