My Goat Needs Dentures!

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!

  5. Cute little goats-all of them. Not sure I'd want a bite though, the sniffing would be fine. Your granddaughter is a cutie.

  8. So cute! Glad you featured the goats -- they might have felt neglected on the blog lately with the press the chicks have received!

  11. I can sympathize with poor Clem with her lung disease. :-) This pleurisy thing has been a drag.
    Baylee is a doll!

  13. Heather: I love Goats, had some at one time.
    Wish we could have a couple now but not possible.

    Guess I will have to keep coming to your posts and visit with your goats.

  14. 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 :-)

  15. Thank 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?

    They are all darling, and lucky to be living with you!

  17. Those pictures are so funny. Surely you don't let your goats into your veggie garden. They would just eat everything!
