Yesterday Phil and I took Pedro and Napoleon for their first hike together just the two of them. I believe they’ve found a new home beginning in October, so I’d like to spend as much time as I can with them for the few more weeks they’re here. These two recently began to take notice … Continue reading Pedro and Napoleon — The beginning of a new adventure →
Goat-O-Rama Pedro is one of the nicest pack wether prospects born on our place. His personality closely resembles that of his uncle Finn, who we retained as a breeding sire and eventual pack wether for ourselves. Pedro adores people and follows use like a shadow. He has accompanied us on several outings and has not fussed … Continue reading Pedro →
In honor of Cinco de Mayo, we named the new little ones “Pedro” and “Pepita” (Pepi for short). Pedro has the large white spot on his head and nose, and Pepita has the small spots on her face. Tigerlily is curious about the tiny new babies. My friend Tiffany and her mom came out for … Continue reading Pedro and Pepita! →
For whatever reason, the Christmas 2019 season was one of the best ever. It was filled with fun, friends, celebrations, gatherings, caroling, light, and music. There seemed no end to the festivities. And Petunia felt good during the week of Christmas. She’d been sick off and on since October and had been steadily losing weight. … Continue reading Hail the Queen! →
With Cuzco gone from the campfire, the younger generation had a chance to come in close and socialize. Pedro wants a hot dog! I’m not sure what the big eyes are about, but get a load of that goat grin! For some reason Napoleon was fixated on Phil’s right elbow and wouldn’t stop licking it. … Continue reading It’s the little guys’ turn! →
Our goats were invited to the Beulah Arts and Crafts Fair this year, so Phil and I packed up Finn and Sputnik, the cart, and a few of the younger goats for a petting zoo and headed on over. The boys had their horns wrapped for safety even though neither of them has ever shown the slightest … Continue reading Goat-O-Rama at the Beulah Arts & Crafts Fair →
Phil’s parents visited us from Massachusetts last week. It is dangerous to visit this time of year. One is liable to be attacked by throngs of baby goats! Lois kept getting pounced on by Pedro and Pepi. If these two spy a lap, they jump on it! She aptly renamed them “Chaos” and “Havoc” the very first … Continue reading Amidst the Chaos →
I really need to post the rest of those photos I took on me and Phil’s anniversary before they get too moldy and outdated! Rocky and Rambo are almost too big to pick up now! Rocky has this adorable but hilarious bunch of flappy loose skin under his chin so I often tease him that he … Continue reading Of shoes and ships and ceiling wax, of cabbages and kings →
I was going to post these yesterday but got distracted when Jezebel decided to kid a couple of days early. Phil and I were planning to take Finn and Sputnik for a hike on Sunday to celebrate our 17th anniversary, but rain kept us indoors most of the day. However, late in the afternoon the … Continue reading Seventeen years and fifteen goats later… →
