and Lightning McQueen!!
Pepper's teats are so full and heavy they almost drag on the ground and the kids are having trouble latching on. Gibbo and Drew milked her at lunchtime and attached the kids; they drank well. We went back over at 5 to have another go. Milked her again but the babies didn't want to drink. I ended up wearing most of what Gibbo managed to draw out!
They are very sweet, as most baby animals are. My brother Andrew thinks they'll be ready just in time for Easter!
There were visitors. Coco was only brave when she was behind Gibbo. Pepper doesn't take kindly to dogs. Poofy has been curious, but smart. He's kept his distance, way back.
Chloe came to check things out too.
More rain today at the farm has taken the total to 6 inches. There are Road Closed signs between here and town; some folk are nervous because there's been 10 inches at The Bunyas and most of that water makes it's way right through the middle of town. It will be a sleepless night for some. Mum isn't threatened by flood water but her back yard fills right up.
Meg hopes to make it home tomorrow from Twba to meet and greet her little family.
