Poppie finds Copper and Red. Poppie to the rescue, he's good like that.

It was raining cats and dogs yesterday when we got up, the wind was howling and it was a nasty day.  Poppie decided to spend the day home again with me.  He was in a lot of pain from the weather, It is probably the most pain he is in of late. A nasty drop in the barometer and he is cut to his knees.  He helped with the vacuuming and we had a slow paced day. We had Cubbie, Boy and Second while Mokie took Bubbie to the doctor.  She is one hundred percent ok, her hips have passed all the tests.  The sun peaked out enough for the kids to start asking to go and play in the new snow.  I said they could go play in the back yard.  They hadn't been out of the house more than 15 minutes and they had wandered to the driveway and we playing by the trailer with the grain on it.  They hadn't got a chance to have Brother move it into the barns.  Poppie told them to get in the house.  I gave them a lecture each, a swat on their bums and told them to stand in the corner until Mokie returned,  they had been told several times a day, all week, not to go into the driveway.  Cubbie was in her corner for about 10 minutes when I let her out, she is a follower in this not a leader.  Mokie eventually came home and they got another lecture and she took them to pre-school.

Poppie kind of drug his feet about doing the chores so he decided they could be done then the girls got home from school, which is only really a couple hours after he normally does them anyway, I do them early when I do them.  The girls were just home when Yogie and Poppie came into the house with a surprise.  He had in his arms a nice fat very dry buckling.  Cleo had had a baby,  I asked him if there was another one, he said no just the one.  I said she always has twins. He said no, just the one, she had already dropped her afterbirth.  I called Mokie while we admired the baby.  She came over with her baby and kids in a flash, no coat and the wind blowing snow all around.  Poppie went out to finish feeding and she admired my baby with me.  Poppie came back in as Cleo was hollering for her baby.  he took the baby to the goat shed and tried to drag Cleo in with it but she wouldn't come.  Meanwhile Mokie and I were talking, she said no way there is only one she was too big and always has twins.  She decided to go help Poppie and look for herself. They looked at the afterbirth and looked around the feeder where it was.  The feeder is tight up against the small barn wall.  Poppie said wait I see something.  Down in behind the feeder was something white stuck between the wall and the feeder.  There was a little bum sticking up in the air.  Head down there lay a baby.  Mokie tried to help and said its dead, Poppie pushed the feeder out of the way.  There he was, and he was moving.  They got him out, he is the bigger twin.  lighter red head. They put him on the ground, Cleo was happy to see him, she knew he was there.  Took him a little bit to get his feet under him, but he is fine and dandy.  Yogie named the first one Red, he is a beautiful classic Boer.  The lost one is a little lighter in color and as I said a little bigger. Booboo called him Copperhead, Copper for short.  I will list them on Craigslist as bucks but if they don't sell, I will wither one for sure and maybe keep the other as a young buck, Caesar is 5 this year and a buck life expectancy is 8 to 10 years, so need to always be thinking of the future.  They are the best quality Boer's I have.  It was sure a blessing the the Lord send a storm that made Poppie late doing the chores, had he done them on time he wouldn't have been there to saved Copper and he would have died by tomorrows chore time.  God blessed us with a blizzard, babies do like to come in the snowing and the blowing.  But a blizzard and Poppie saved our buckling, love the way God sends us blessing...... tomorrow.
