The “kids” (both human and goat) decided to work together on the goat shed today. We have all ten goats, loose, outside. Gypsy won’t leave the barn, therefore neither will her triplets. Cinderella can’t stand to be more than 3 feet away from a human at any time, so we’re not worried about wanderers. The kids are working on the barn, the babies are working on the brush!
Goats HAVE personality.
Yes, Legend looks a little pathetic here. No, he did not get in trouble. 😛
He was asked to look at Grandma instead of snufflin’ whatever was in front of him and he was a good boy when told, “Leave it,” but it sure didn’t make him happy!
On the other hand, Legend is proving to be a very worthy farm pooch. Despite being “talked” into um, “playing” with the chickens this morning by “that other” dog and getting into very serious trouble, he has been trying to herd the little goats by nipping their tails. Cinderella takes great offense at this and we have to watch her very carefully as she would love to get in a hard head butt. All things considered, I think they get along famously!
What a great day!
(And on the school pictures, bah! It’s too nice to clean my house and do a lot of school. Maybe tomorrow!)

LOL! Jenn, you don’t know what you’re asking! Tim is my little terror! Seriously. The boy lives to work and Heaven help the mama that gets in his way. He has “zero tolerance” issues and God created him with one thought in his head from the time he wakes up in the morning ’til his head hits the pillow, “Work. Work hard. Avoid people and just work.” He looks like he’s playin’ but he’s really doing his “chores” and you should see the boy chop wood, lol. Be careful what you wish for! I hear TN is much warmer this time of year. 🙂
