Is this not the funniest thing you've seen? I cracked up when I uploaded these pictures and they showed her gummy smile. She is the mother goat, affectionately called Mama Goat. She is also ferral. She was mistreated when we got her and her then 4 week old baby, Clementine so she has been shy the whole year we have had her. She now bites, which is great because it's her way of trying to play and that is a big step forward. Just goes to show that a year of grain and anyone can be your friend.
Here is Ollie, who is almost always photogenic. He actually only wants to smell you so he is pretty easy to get a good picture of.
And Clem with Doyle and our granddaughter, Baylee. Clem is the sweetest goat we have and really loves it if you'll brush her. She is also our ill goat. She has some kind of lung problem. We have treated her with several things and antibiotics. No dice yet. I am starting to think maybe the poor little thing has allergies. She wheezes like my daughter.
Of course Baylee loves the Mama Goat, who wants absolutely nothing to do with her. Baylee just points and smiles at Grandpa and off they go. Back to the goat barn. I know who's wrapped around who's little finger.
So this post is for you, Daffodil Planter. You can live vicariously through my goats until you can get your own!
I love these pictures! They are too funny! It makes me want to go out and get some goats. It's so wonderful that you rescue them. -Jackie
ReplyDeleteHeather~~ They're so cute. It's always heartwarming to hear of an animal rescue and how the successful it is.
ReplyDeleteI like the gummy smile.... naughty and cheeky!!

Awe, give em some love from me, you know I'm a big fan....lol.
ReplyDeleteCute little goats-all of them. Not sure I'd want a bite though, the sniffing would be fine. Your granddaughter is a cutie.
ReplyDeleteHi Heather! I just read Sue's post about the goats. You also have a petting zoo!
ReplyDeleteHow cute they are. I've always loved goats for some reason. Wish we could have some here but not!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Glad you featured the goats -- they might have felt neglected on the blog lately with the press the chicks have received!
ReplyDeleteI love to hear about the goats. I don't know which is my favorite - they're all so cute. That photo of Ollie is precious.
ReplyDeleteLove those goats. Kim would love to have some.
ReplyDeleteI can sympathize with poor Clem with her lung disease. :-) This pleurisy thing has been a drag.
ReplyDeleteBaylee is a doll!
Well here we are, I got on to check your latest blog and Miss Baylee saw the goats. I have'nt been able to close the page or she crys. Lol I think she needs a goat picture book.
ReplyDeleteHeather: I love Goats, had some at one time.
ReplyDeleteWish we could have a couple now but not possible.
Guess I will have to keep coming to your posts and visit with your goats.

If Jordan has his way, someday, we'll have goats. I'm not opposed to them, I just don't know a darned thing about them :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the virtual pet goats! I'll print out this post and tape it up on the wall (and show my grandchildren when they visit). Poor Clem--try Benadryl or acupuncture? Dogs have lots of food allergies--maybe goats do too?
ReplyDeleteThey are all darling, and lucky to be living with you!
yay! i love posts about your goats. ollie is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteThose pictures are so funny. Surely you don't let your goats into your veggie garden. They would just eat everything!
ReplyDeleteAny answers on the ill goat? We have a 4 month old with the same issues?
ReplyDeleteThanks
