....are not food!

after the summer was over, i would lose another baby goat to the same thing.  a few months later, my daughter started in....mommy pleeeeease can we get baby goats again?  of course, but you must help with feeding and cleaning up and spend time with them because you remember how much work the young goats were, now these are BABIES, they will require MORE attention and bottles every four to six hours and clean bedding and .....oh yes mommy, i will i will!

so needless to say, guess who took on two teeny goats without help?  you guessed it.  now if none of you have ever experienced a newborn baby goat, let me warn you, they are just like human babies with walking and destroying abilities added.  they cry at night and need to be kept warm and get tummy problems and want to be held and need bottles....its a full time job- (as if i didnt already have one)  so since these baby goats were mine from birth, i became quite attached to them.  their names are blankie and kevin.  kevin was only hours old when i took him home so he had yet to be disbudded or dehorned and has since grown a huge set of tools to ram with.  they are now almost 6 months old, off the bottle and running wild with louie and goat goat.  which leads me to the point of my story- a thing called RUT!  

to be continued again!
