Purple Baby

This is one of our new goat babies...Purple Baby (so temporarily named because his little cat collar is purple). His mother, Gracie, is an older doe that we rescued from someone's dinner table, and I'm so glad! Her other baby is Orange Baby, who's picture is also up here for you to see. Purple Baby had a very difficult birth, he was twisted upside-down and backwards when he was born, and due to this he got some fluid in his lungs and was a bit sick for several days. Therefore, I waited to take his picture until he felt better. The person holding him is my little sister, and one can obviously see that he doesn't mind. Personally, I think he's the more friendly of the two. Anyways, the reason for his lack of a name at first is because, with farm animals, we normally wait until they are a bit older to name them. My little sis picked the name Leonardo for him, because she thought he reminded her of Leonardo da Vinci...who really knows... *laughs*. He's a cute little thing anyways!
