We said goodbye to our sweet “Lilly-Goat” this week, and it’s been a difficult few days. Phil spent time with her on the “goat tower” that last morning and I snapped a few photos. It seems ironic that we bought Nibbles and Lilly because I saw Cuzco growing older and didn’t want to look out … Continue reading Rest In Peace, Sweet Lilly-Goat
Today I took Lilly to get bred, but unfortunately she went out of heat in the hour and a half between the time I left home and the time I got to the buck. I knew I was pushing the envelope a bit, but gee whiz, girl! Couldn’t you have held out just a little … Continue reading Lilly’s Dating Dud
Jem’s Pride Stargazer Lilly was born in April 2012 and acquired by Goat-O-Rama in November of that year. Lilly is the clown of the herd and was best known for her daredevil Ninja tricks when she was a youngster. She would run up walls and do back-flips or run up them in an arc to … Continue reading Lilly
This is how Lilly finishes her meal–every meal. She licks the feed pan clean then promptly throws it on the floor to let me know she wants down off the stanchion. I love my silly Lilly.
What do you do with a goat that comes home from a romantic interlude with a hot-smellin’ buck in the dead of winter? Why, take her into your house for a bath in your claw-foot tub, of course! You can do this, Lilly! Upsa-daisy! (You’d have no problem getting in if your boyfriend was in … Continue reading Bathtime with Lilly-goat
Lilly was bitten by the love bug on Saturday, so we called a friend of mine in the dating service and arranged a hookup. Lilly thought she’d make a great impression if she rode like this, but she thought better of it once the truck started moving. Awww… First kiss. This was the guy we … Continue reading Lilly’s Hot Date
Daisy spent all day with the goats and I feel comfortable leaving her there tonight. She stopped being scared of the goats this morning when she realized that Cuzco was more afraid of her than she was of him. I don’t think she’d ever seen a monster that size. Cuzco’s hair has been puffed up … Continue reading Daisy meets Lilly and the goat herd
Well, I’m not sure if it’s official yet, but we’ve been calling the new little one “Nubbin”. Perhaps not so suited to such a big girl, but it sounds so well with “Nibbles”. I don’t have any new photos since mostly she’s spent the last few days sleeping in the shed. Today she was out … Continue reading Nibbles, Nubbin, and Lilly the “diva mom”
We got two feet of snow yesterday and Lilly was very helpful. She got right down to work and shoveled the walkway for us!
