CRIA WATCH IS ON!!!












Drizella is due on Wednesday, but this morning she started exhibiting behavior that she might be ready to pop. Her belly has dropped and she is keeping some distance from the herd. She also didn't eat much feed this morning. A couple of times she has laid down but not in kush position, her back legs were to the side and she had her tail up. I am checking her every thirty minutes. She is five years old and I don't know if she has ever had a cria. The record keeping of the previous owner is less than optimal.
The other pictures are of a bit of cria games that I took while observing Drizella. Cute little buggers and even Currency, the big fawn girl got into. Such joy baby animals have, it never fails to make me happy.

  1. Those little ones can make a heavy heart lighter. Any word on Jasper yet? Hope Druzilla has her baby soon. A life gone and a new one begins.

  2. Phaedra, no word yet on Jasper. Hopefully, real soon. I am pretty anxious.

    I think Druzilla will go either tonight or tomorrow. They usually have their cria in the afternoon,but she is still showing such strong signs that I will continue to monitor her through the night even if I have to set the alarm. It is going to be a bit cold and I don't want a damp cria out in it for long.

    I will update here if anything happens.

  15. sigh..

    Good thing there are adorable crias on the ground already..

    Criaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?

    hey, phaedra, can you please do this old psycho broad a favour?
    Start following CCC's blog? She's got 13 followers. She needs ONE more, to get over the 13 number.

    Never know, Drizella might be superstitious, like me;)

  16. Done. ( By the way, I have a soft spot for psycho old broads, being one myself. Just ask my children..they think they keep me in line by threatening me with chosing my nursing home. Like that will happen!) Someday I might be able to wrestle the digital camera away from SO and download photos. If I like them, that is.
