Went and visited the happy little goat family today, they are doing great! Andy does not have a very big udder yet, but then again Tommy Hunter has a big appetite! His is doing great, and is no longer skittish! I had a nice long conversation with Andy, not quite sure what was said, but I think it was good bonding time! :) Tommy's rumen is up and going, saw him eatin' some hay with mom, and later felt his rumen roll. I went up the hill to visit and say goodnight right after dark, and didn't see Andy or Thomas anywhere, so I looked in the little goat barn, and there she was, having properly put her son to bed! I talked for a few minutes, then went out of the barn, and prepared to hop the fence out of their pen, and heard a whicker! Turned around, and there was Andy, wondering where I was going! I was all too happy to give her more loves, and Tommy too, of course!
Also yesterday went to the thrift store and got... A pair of perfectly fitting boots for... $5:00! What a score!
One thing I am really excited about is Hairy Dairy, which is coming up in May. If you don't know what Hairy Dairy is, it is a goat show where you don't shave the goat like you normally do. A tad more casual. I am really excited about it! I am going to be helping a friend show her animals, too. She signed up a bunch of goats then realized she would have to be in about twenty places at once is she was going to pull off showing all those goats! So I will be one of many people helping walk a couple goats around the ring. Since I am a goat addict a can't wait to show a sweet li'l brown nubian buck with white spots and ears! He's young, so he's still loveable, unlike he will be in a few months once he hits adolecence.
(AKA Peeing all over himself) The main problem there will be with showing him will be, that instead of standing still like a good goat, he will be jumping all over you proclaiming his love in goat. That will be something to work on with him.
