Dahlia's boys are out and about

Dahlia's twin boys (born last Thursday) are doing just fine! We still haven't decided on names yet, though. The reverse badger boy is actually tri-colored. That brown is there to stay.

Yeah, I really like that stripey boy. He's smaller than his brother, and screams the moment I pick him up, but still, he is very pretty.

That coloring you might have to keep him. Unless he's related to everyone?

When you stack the new striped boy against the girl roster, he is cousin to Madeline through his mom Dahlia, Anna is his grandmother (both she and Jessie are retired now), and he is half-brother to the girls in the two most recent kid crops: Corene (Ari), Hope (Ari), and Tia (Ari).

He is no relation to Lily, Elsa, Emma, Ginger, Taffy, or Fiona. The problem is that none of those girls are recessive blacks, so they would not reproduce his spectacular coloring. *sadness*. I really need to go hunting for reverse badger girls.

*huff* Dahlia is not fat! She's just fluffy... and the boss of that pasture's herd... and had her own hayrick for three weeks... ok, yeah, she's pretty hefty.
