Piddles, our bottle baby born 2/3/23, decided that 2/13/24 at 1511 was a good time to bring forth her own son. Mama and baby are doing well as of about 30 min ago when I wandered out there to check on 'em.

Neighbor's in his mid-late 70's. He called last night, DW answered. (They're always back and forth about one thing or another, all in good fun.) He asks how's the week old neighbor goat. She replies, I don't know, hadn't thought about it....you tell me, how are you?

He's all brown, nose to tail tip. Has a very regal, almost arrogant, attitude as he's older than his cousins by 2-3 days. DW has taken to calling him Mr. Piddleson. One of the other two newbs is the same color but with a white blaze on his forehead, so he's Mr. Whitehead. The youngest of the 3 new ones is solid color, but she's about the shade of Piddles the mama. So.....you can guess....she's being called....<drum roll>.... Tanner!
Is that an English Shepherd checking him out in the first pic?

Shorthaired border collie mix, she's right at 10 mo. old now. Still doesn't know to do anything but play with the goats....cats.....chickens....other dogs.... wants to herd them but totally clueless and it hasn't 'clicked' with her yet to follow directions from the two-leg that's barking and waving its front legs LOL. She is a very loving doggie but still a bit enthusiastic with her playing, so we have to watch her constantly, especially with newborn kittens :/
She's adorable. And yeah, kitties are pretty fragile for pups who don't know better!

I've seen labs carry two or three at a time and not harm them. But then labs have a mouth like a feather pillow 99% of the time. BCs are hardwired to nip as part of their routine, so yeah, they're kinda aggressive to a week old kitten.
Poor girl, though, she doesn't understand. She's only trying to help.
