Okay, so now our beautiful new buck has a name: Capriole's GD Excursion! To quote, it's difficult to come up with "ex" names. I think it's appropriate, because it's quite an excursion from the southeast corner of Washington State to the Northwest corner! He's coming home on February 8!!
We have also gone over to Cle Elum to pickup the two girls that we had purchased from Lookout Mountain Boers! Unfortunately for my husband, I had had my eye on a third, but had decided that I just couldn't afford to get one more - but once I got to actually see her, I just couldn't resist! So, as Patti told me, we got one of each from her: Traditional, Paint, RED!
The weather was beautiful - but a tad cold. It was 3F when we arrived at Patti Gylling's house yesterday morning, and it didn't get warmer until after we left and got about 20 miles down the road. BUT, everything about the trip was beautiful. For anyone that has not had the opportunity to drive I-90 up through Snoqualmie Pass, you've got to put this on your "MUST DO" list! The views were breathtaking!
Now that we've added these girls, we have been listening to them fight with my girls all night. It's a slow process as they establish their place within the herd - but I know that it will happen. And with there being three of them, I'm not worried that they'll be bullied too bad. It won't be long before they're all just one big happy family!
We're still waiting on kids, but I'm certain that it's going to happen - I've just accepted the fact that I didn't pay attention to when they were breeding - and that it must have been later than I had expected. BUT, next year - this will NOT be a question!
