A couple of weeks ago, my polled Nubian doe ...Joy,<br /><br />A couple of weeks ago, my polled Nubian doe named Molly by previous owners and called the same by me gave birth to two beautiful bouncing bucklings. One, auburn brown with nary a mark of another color, the other black as night with tan markings and snow-dappled ears. The latter, like his mother, is polled. Long-legged and bodied, he carries every physical attribute I wish to see in my small herd, so I have decided to keep him. <br /><br />But what should I name him? I wondered. His sire, named McDreamy, comes from a long line of bucks named Enferno this and Enferno that, but I do not like a name that reminds me more of hell than of heaven, so I could find no name I liked waiting on the family tree.<br /><br />And then I read your post and saw that you have a doe named Magic, and in an Ah-Ha instant, I had the name. This newest little buckling will be named Black Magic, a name so fitting I daresay I could never think of another that would suit him more. <br /><br />And all because you chose to write a post about cats, goats, horses and names. <br /><br />Just thought you'd like to know.<br /><br />Blessings,<br /><br />Kate<br /><br /><br />P.S. I absolutely love your blog. Your are a wonderful wordsmith.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06709692599486624904noreply@blogger.com
