# Princess Peach Is Joining the House: Katie Makes a New Plan for Bella’s Little Girl
Why does Bella welcome Mario and Luigi when they come to nurse, but push Princess Peach away?
Katie had been watching that question grow more urgent for several days. Bella, her first goat and beloved former house goat, was caring for her two boys while repeatedly stopping her only daughter from feeding. Peach could stay near her mother, but when she tried to nurse or snuggle close, Katie saw Bella headbutt or kick her away.
Now Katie and Princess Peach had an announcement.
“Princess Peach and I have a PSA to tell you,” Katie began. “We’ve made a decision.”
**The little goat is joining the house.**
Katie’s decision grew from watching Peach struggle to nurse and considering how to keep her consistently fed, including during their upcoming trip.
## Katie’s Concern Started at Feeding Time
The previous morning, Katie had noticed that Bella seemed less willing to stand for Peach than for the boys. She planned to offer the little girl a bottle and see whether she wanted more milk.
In this update, Katie explained that the pattern had continued. Bella was comfortable with Mario and Luigi nursing, but Peach’s attempts often ended with her mother pushing her away.
Katie believed Peach had still managed to get some milk when Bella was distracted by the boys. That could help explain why the little girl continued to run and play. Yet Peach had not gained nearly as much weight as her brothers, and Katie was no longer comfortable relying on those occasional opportunities to feed.
She did not describe Peach as lethargic. Set her down, Katie said, and she would run around like the energetic baby followers knew from the playground videos.
Still, Peach was content to spend a long stretch curled up with Katie. She had been in Katie’s lap for roughly thirty to forty minutes during their time together, accepting the company without trying to leave.
She also took a bottle.
Katie said the little girl had drunk a couple of ounces of milk. It was an encouraging sign for the new plan: Peach was willing to accept food from a person while Katie worked out how best to support her.
## Why Might Bella Be Pushing Peach Away?
Katie did not claim to know what Bella was thinking.
She had a possible explanation. This was Bella’s first time raising triplets, and Katie described the two boys as particularly aggressive when they nursed. She wondered whether Bella might already be uncomfortable by the time Peach approached.
That remained Katie’s theory, not a confirmed cause. What she could see was a difference in Bella’s response to each baby. The boys were welcomed at the udder; Peach often was not.
The situation does not mean Peach has stopped playing with her siblings or that Katie has ruled out time with the other goats. She said she still hoped to arrange things so Peach could go outside with them and perhaps spend time under their watchful company.
For now, feeding needs more direct attention. Katie has bottle-fed babies before, but she said she wanted to speak with her veterinarian about Peach’s diet and the other details of caring for a little goat who will spend more time around people.
That consultation is part of the plan. The update does not report a veterinary diagnosis, a prescribed feeding schedule, or a final decision about how much time Peach will spend outside.
## The Trip That Changed the Logistics
Katie has a trip coming up. If Peach requires regular supplemental bottles, someone must be available to feed her reliably while Katie is gone. As the family worked through the schedule, they realized they would be short on the people needed to give Peach that dedicated time.
Taking Peach along became a workable option.
Katie said the destination is close enough to reach by car and that they have the ability to bring the little goat with them. She did not give the travel dates or describe the full arrangements yet.
If Peach is going to accompany Katie, it makes sense to help her get used to an indoor routine now, rather than suddenly changing everything on departure day. Katie wants Peach comfortable spending time inside while continuing to have opportunities outdoors.
That is the new house goat plan.
It is not an announcement that Peach will never see Bella or her brothers. Katie described a routine she is still shaping, with advice from her veterinarian and attention to Peach’s feeding and social time.
The humor of it was hard for Katie to miss. Bella was her first goat and her house goat. Now Bella’s daughter might build a similar bond with her.
Katie joked that Bella must have wanted her to have a house goat relationship with Peach all along.
## A New Chapter for Princess Peach
Only days ago, Peach’s biggest challenge seemed to be keeping up with two lively brothers on the tires and slide. She still has that playful side. Katie was clear that the little girl runs around when she is put down.
Today, Katie’s focus is making sure the energy she sees is supported by enough food and a care routine that works every day.
Peach has accepted some milk from a bottle, settled comfortably in Katie’s lap, and earned a place indoors while that routine takes shape. Her brothers remain with Bella, and Katie hopes Peach can continue enjoying the other goats as her needs are met.
What Katie could do now was act on what she had seen: a little girl who deserved a dependable chance to eat, and a family ready to adjust their plans for her.
Princess Peach has always been Bella’s “mini me.” Soon, she may also be Katie’s newest house goat.
