I bottle feed my first 2 does, but my husband wouldn't let me have them in the house. But I go a 1 month old buck and he sleeps in the house in a pet crate, so he won't be lonely. The girls were not nice to him.charlotte's menageriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01992888036157755846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21054991.post-85287816517967306442009-12-05T10:15:15.580-06:002009-12-05T10:15:15.580-06:00Oh my gosh that naughty baby goat!!!

I wish I had adopted her and taken her off your hands when I left. ;) But imagine the havoc she would've wreaked on an airplane!!! hahaSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14837113131652473224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21054991.post-46247432303898060952009-12-04T16:12:21.340-06:002009-12-04T16:12:21.340-06:00Claire -- Thanks for figuring out what Pearl was t...Claire -- Thanks for figuring out what Pearl was thinking! You are right, of course. It was going to be tough to come up with an exciting blog post after all the fun we had on here yesterday! I should give Pearl some extra hugs and treats this evening.<br /><br />Angela -- The frustrating thing is that we do have a sink in both barns, and one even has hot water. Unfortunately, that one has a stopped up drain! My husband has done everything he can to fix it, so after our recent experience, I think it's time to call a plumber!<br /><br />SkippyMom -- No worries. This wasn't the goat you named. Her goat mama was Scarlet Letter, so she's named after Pearl, the recalcitrant child in the book. I hadn't read the book since college, and I'd completely forgotten about how the child was described.<br /><br />And for those of you who are worried about next time -- this afternoon my husband was working in the garden and heard her "Maa! Maaaa!" He dropped everything and went running to the pig pen. Luckily, Pearl was not in there, but as you can tell, we're pretty much on edge, since she is small enough to fit through the spaces in the fence. I wasn't kidding when I said she is always going places where she is not supposed to go. I just hope she learned something yesterday!Deborah Niemannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10754242197245805551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21054991.post-23899136396785251182009-12-04T14:57:20.030-06:002009-12-04T14:57:20.030-06:00::hanging my head in shame::

Pearl knew that only a goat could manage it, and did her goatie best to give an exciting story. What a resounding success! Hooray for Pearl!

There isn't anything much cuter than a goat kid, even covered in pig poo. Glad it wasn't me that had to deal with it though. :-)BJ Gingleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02816781442671196760noreply@blogger.com
