New additions... part 2
« on: Sep 18, 2009, 10:29:59 AM »
The goats have lived with us for 16 months now. I really enjoy them and even without producing milk they fill quite a role here.

I have lived with a couple of old goats, but they sure weren't as cute as Sarah's. Those babies are adorable
This is me ->?

They really are cute, and they know how to use that cute to their advantage.   :laughmao:

Tina was very correct in the last thread, though...pets, any pets, require a lot of work and attention. At the VERY minimum I spent a half hour a day with the goats, day in, day out, every single day of the year. They need attention, grooming, and entertainment. Every few days I change around the toys and stuff in their pens so they have new things to explore. Every day they get a new tote full of greens (weeds, garden debris, tree limbs, ect.) morning and night.

He/She (which one is that?) looks like he's telling you "enough with the camera already!"  :laughmao:

So very cute. I couldn't keep up with them.

Cleo and Chloe are both girls, I think, Barb. That is why she had to let them visit elsewhere when they were in "season". It didn't take though, I don't believe... :grinnnn:

One day I plan on meeting those goats face to face. Wonder if I could hide them in my suitcase... :giggle:

Dianna is correct, they are both girls. We are looking to set up another "date" for them in December/January so they would deliver in the better weather of spring.

Dianna, if you plan on running off with them, you better bring a BIG soundproof suitcase!  :laughmao:
