Anymore it seems as if the goats rule my life lol. Theres some of the kids that I have turned loose around in our yard. I had a gate put up at the bottom of the hill & I keep it locked. As soon as I step out my front door & they hear me here they come running & pretty soon the front porch is full of goats. I went outside the other day because it was so pretty out. I had a blanket down on the ground in the backyard & I was sitting there sipping some lemonade then all of a sudden here they come bouncing in all directions. My spoiled rotten little girl Gia came running over dumping my lemonade & demanding my attention. Then here come the rest.

Theres one of my Pygmy girls Ebony who loves to stand up on me & she picked just the perfect time to the other day. Here I was on my way to the car ready to go to dinner but , Ebony I think had other ideas. She jumped on me getting muddy hoof prints all over my clothes so I decided to heck with going out for dinner.

My goats are so spoiled lol. I buy them cereal , crackers , popcorn , etc... as treats. If they see me unloading grocery bags from the car or truck there all over me & when it comes feeding time look out! They love sticking there heads in the buckets as I am trying to fill the feed boxes. I'm sure you know how crazy goats go at feeding time , you'd think they had not had a bite to eat in weeks.

Around here when people find out how many goats I own there mouth practically drops to the floor. As of right now I have 69 & theres 4 due to kid anytime now. I have been keeping a constant check on them. I was at the store one day & the clerk made a comment about all the bags of cereal I had. When I told her they were for treats to my goats & horses she gave me this look that made me want to just throw some goat pebbles at her. Most of the people I know love dogs , one guy I know even owns over 30 hmmmm & he thinks I'm strange. Theres no way I'd want that many dogs. I can't even handle one just give me my goats anyday.

Want to see pictures of some of my goats? I have about 30 pages of pictures online. I don't have photos up of all my goats yet but , I'm working on it. Anyways sorry for all my ramblings but , its just so nice to be able to talk 'goat talk' :-)
