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! →

We had fun at the 2016 Harvest Show. It was the 40th anniversary of the CDGA, so lots of cake this year. The girls did very well. Pepi won in her class of five Recorded Grades on the first day of the show, but the judge overlooked her in the second. The doe in third place … Continue reading 2016 CDGA Harvest Show →

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 →

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I really need to post the rest of those photos I took on me and Phil’s anniversary before they get too moldy and outdated!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… →
