We have TWINS!!!


Tricked Ya!

Saturday is a special day!
especially when it's a half day!
We relax and we play outside
and we are ready for Sunday.


So, we are the proud owners of a pair of kids...baby goats! We have a male and a female goat, they are twins. They love me. They follow me around like lost puppies, and when i leave them in their pen they whine all the time calling for me constantly, "Maaaaaaatt, Maaaaaaatt, Maaaaaaatt."

I brushed them up with a horse comb and a rice brush. They loved it! they would just stand there and look relaxed, much like Murphy...but a whole lot smaller. Oh, they are inhabiting Roy's and Bruce's pen. They are eating down all the weeds therein.



They were so funny. If I would walk anywhere they would follow me, like Mary and her little lamb but different because I am a guy and they are goats, but you get the picture. The above picture is when I ran away and the female followed me. Oh, the little lighter one is female and the larger, darker one is the male. They are twins.

June bug and Davy loved the goats. We took them on a walk around the yard and then over to the Henke's. We had fun there.



In the above foto the goat is eating a banana peal out of my hand. He is also standing on his hind legs. Now I need to teach them to shake and fetch! Wouldn't that be a sight. Can you imagine a goat running and catching a frisbee? hahaha


Lastly, we have the beautiful Aubrey and soon-to-be mother with June. Cute girls.

  1. Oh, I know what it's like to have twins! Hopefully yours let you get more sleep than mine did! That is one animal Aubrey has never been around. We've never done goats. Cute, though I don't see any pictures of Aubrey cuddling with them.
