All I Want for Christmas is to be a Granny Nanny!

12/12/2010

Last week Annie met and bred with Jacob, my new goat friend Dottie Cross’s buck. He was in every way a real gentleman. Upon meeting Annie he sniffed her rear, caressed and mewed to her and then gently mounted her and in 2 seconds impregnated her (hopefully). He did this twice and it all took about 4 minutes. Wham, Bang, Done!!

This week it was Sophia’s turn. She met Fin (short for Infinity) Dottie’s teenager buck and boy were his hormones raging. Before we could even get Sophia set he jumped right on top of her which freaked her out. She bolted right out from under him and out of the barn. Which meant Dottie & I had to set about catching her…NOT AN EASY TASK since Fin was also in hot pursuit. Much panting ensued and not from Sophia or Fin. Thank G-d Dottie & I are in such good phsyical shape (do I hear you laughing?) and we succeeded in catching Sophia and returning her to the barn where Fin promptly did his thing..3 times. Someone has to teach goats a thing or two about romance and enjoying the minute.

So my Christmas wish (since it’s after Chanukah I’m imposing on Christmas for my wishing) is to become a Nanny Granny this May. I should know in about three weeks if they are indeed with kids.

Happy Holidays to all…I’m dreamin of a White Christmas and Spring Babies…Irene

Finding a nanny, it's been said, is similar to finding a third spouse. You want someone you'd feel comfortable having in your home on a daily basis, regardless of how you look or how you're feeling. You often wish that they could read your mind and that you could trust them with your children. Compatibility is obviously crucial. Boundaries, too, are important. I worked as a nanny for almost ten years, for a variety of families, but only a few parents made me feel like "family" while still imposing laws and restrictions. Isn't it perplexing? It wasn't the case!

Cold Moon Farm was such an amazing experience for our family. Meeting the animals, baking bread with Irene, sleeping like babies...it was over the top and wonderful."
