Bottle Goat Doelings

Last Thursday while perusing Craigslist, I came across a listing for a bottle doeling. I quickly shot off an email and waited, I didn't have to wait long. She called back, we chatted a little and she said that she actually had another doeling that she hadn't listed yet. Soon we were headed to meet them and see the doelings. We have had a few ups and downs, but I couldn't imagine getting rid of the cute little buggers. 
Rainey is now 2 weeks old and has learned the bottle. She loves to climb into my lap for feeding, then cuddles up after for a snuggling. 
Dolly is 4 weeks old and is more independent. She loves to climb EVERYWHERE! We had to move the doelings out of the rabbit area because Dolly was leading Rainey over the rabbit cages and then over the gate. 
The girls have their bottles then we go into the "pasture" to walk around and try to "meet" the other goats. Cinnamon, Carlos, and Oscar try their hardest avoid the babies, yet still figure out what the doelings are.
