OMG i missed another one

[PaintedPromiseRanch]

:new_shocked: :new_shocked: :new_shocked: Taffy Jo was still FAT and alone when i fed this morning and after the milk test last night i was sure it would be tonight...but when Lindsey got home the dogs did not meet her at the gate and she said she just had a feeling... so she ran out back and there was a baby! she called me right away, apparently i had missed a call from the neighbor just a few minutes before that... Lindsey has taken pictures and should be posting them on this thread very soon.

the ring test said boy so since i have a buyer waiting, i didn't even think about names... but the buyer knows only a jack would be for sale so i have to contact them now and disappoint them. maybe Betty Jean will take care of them next month

:

anyway i have:

Taffy Jo

Peggy Sue

Mary Ellen

Becky Lynn who are all related to this one...

and Betty Jean

Betty Lou

Susie Q who are not related...

any name ideas? gotta have that country sound with a middle name!!

and how can i be so HAPPY that it's a girl and so MAD that i missed yet another birth... this is the 7th foal born on this property and i have seen the last half of one mini horse and unfortunately suffered through the loss of the donkey that did not make it... i guess i should look on the bright side, all the ones i have MISSED have been FINE!

What a little doll she is. I like all the pictures but especially the one with her sticking her tongue out. She looks soft and cuddly.

thanks for everything guys, and OMG she is too adorable, the pictures just don't show it nearly well enough. she is a lot smaller than i thought she would be from the pictures... my husband leaves tomorrow morning on his trip so we are frantically busy tonight getting ready, i will measure and weigh and get more pictures tomorrow.

thanks for name suggestions too, so far i prefer Liza Jane and Lindsey likes Ellie Mae... and Hilary wishes it had been a boy so i would have sold it LOL (she is the one who cleans the donkey pen and they like to "help" her a little TOO much

: ). i should have been more clear above, i am trying to avoid duplicating the names i already have so a lot of the suggestions are not good in that respect although they are ALL cute

:

and Marnie that's my favorite picture too so far. she really likes that tongue of hers!! she plays with it a lot

:

i was really hoping that having this baby would help Taffy Jo become more friendly but so far she's way worse... extremely protective of her baby. but i sure don't blame her, she is being a good mama for the little one. i was surprised to see that she is gray when mom is spotted and dad (in Texas) was black, but she looks very dark around the eyes and the bottom of her legs so i think she will darken up as she sheds that baby fuzz. but she will not look like her full sister, Peggy Sue has a dark muzzle and belly and this baby has the light points. my husband thinks she may turn out looking a lot like our jack Dillon which i would not mind at all, i think he is pretty darn handsome. and she is unbelievably soft right now!

the only damper on my happiness today is that i still feel so bad for Nikki and all she is going through... i know she is happy for me and wouldn't want me to keep quiet but i feel bad being so openly happy about the baby... however she knows i have been in her shoes and i hope that the fact that good things happen will encourage her to get through this rough time. {{{{{hugs}}}}} Nikki!!!

:aktion033: :aktion033: Yeah she is absolutely perfect! She looks a lot like my Ally who was a dark steel gray at birth and now has long "faded" hair and I can't wait for her woolies to shed out this year. I bet you got lots of nose kisses when you got home!

I thought I posted yesterday - but it didn't "take" LOL

 

[qtrrae]

Susan,

She is just toooooo cute!! I love her very loooong ears :aktion033: - for some reason they seem longer to me then a lot of the babies I have seen.

I like the name Ellie Mae but I do "think" she looks like a "Little Liza Jane!"

:

Congratulations on your precious girl - great pictures!!

 

[lvponies]

Awwwwww!!!

: What a cutie!! Congratulations!!

 

[PaintedPromiseRanch]

ok here's the stats at one day old, i did not get to it yesterday darn it. she is 24 inches at the withers as near as i can tell with a standard tape, we don't have a stick. and approximately 30 pounds, we weighed ourselves with and without her three times and it was different every time but the average was 30...

and her name is going to be Mirror P Ellie Mae

: i really like Liza Jane but after spending some time with her, she is just Ellie Mae and that's that. so we will save Liza Jane for the next one
