Out of our three new goats (each about 1.5 years old and all female), Daisy, the black and white, was bottle fed. Turns out, this results in the goat being more like a dog than a goat! We have discovered this in the few days we've had them because the moment we step into their pin, Daisy is literally all over us. She follows us where ever we go, nuzzles us constantly, and plays games with us, like chase and headbutting. It's amazing to watch, actually. She will push into our legs or hips trying to get us to play with her, and when we leave the pin, she cries for like 2 minutes! If she weren't so cussing strong, I'd even consider leashing her up and taking her for a walk. However, with two slightly bum knees at the moment, probably not a good idea. Plus, she could use a bath before I go showing her off to all the neighbors.
So here she is playing with Rae this morning. It's so stinking cute.
And here's all three of the gals with Sohie and Alanna, past students who stopped by on the way home from their roadtrip to San Franciso. We're feeding them oak leaves. It's like crack to them.

I got butted by a goat in Costa Rica. We were having a little pushing contest when, quick as a blink, he butted my elbow. Amazing how fast his head could recoil, like a jackhammer. Hurt for weeks! Still, he was just being a goat. And they are so sweet looking. And stinky.
