Squeeee! Goats!!!

[msfledermaus]

I had a very low-key day at the Jade Mines, did some quicky shopping on the way home, and after unpacking the tasty, tasty foods I went outside to meet the new baby goats Peaty brought home. I found my neighbor Rocky in the chicken coop, snuggling the little frail one with the bad front legs to his chest, while the slightly older one was happily chewing things and climbing onto big branches and maaaa-ing. (Their names are Mame, for the little one and Vera for the larger one.) Mame was sat on by her mother, so she's getting a little rehab from Peaty and the other goat foster-moms. I think I may end up on that list myself... So. Unbearably. Cute... The larger goat was really eager about eating all the dandelions I could bring her, and seemed kind of hypnotized when I petted her soft little flanks...

And of course there's pictures...

OMG CUTE!

don't they have the cutest little goat-faces? The baby has very very soft hair...and she buries her head in your arms when she's sleepy...

Aw! You'll have to see if you can bring one down. You can sit on the bench, and it can mow - well, they'll have to keep away from the flowers. ;-)

I bet I can rent a goat out as a lawn-mower...but the older one is a little stubborn already...But we're leash-training them both. I just have a vision of me being dragged around by a larger Vera, yelling, "hey, get those pansies outta your mouth, do they look like dandelions? Nooooo, bad goat! bad Goat!!"

P.S. You know that 2nd picture is "goats and racks". You could start a whole new category over at CO.

That isn't even *my* rack, that's my neighbor Rocky. We teased him horribly about being veeeery careful about the baby goat not getting any ideas...

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!! That face!

She is so cute and sweet, poor baby. Her legs don't work right yet, so we're ever-so-gently stretching them for her since she can't do it yet. She's very patient with all this, doesn't even bleat.

Have you heard about the crazy goats that faint when excited? Awesomeness! Check it out on youtube...
Goats are all sorts of cool ^_^

If a strange person name of me is found in your backyard petting baby goats, I blame you and your cute pictures.

I may have to have a Goat-petting party in the near future...very very near, since otherwise everybody will be in the back yard petting goats anyway...:DDD
