We finally picked up our goats. They are adorable, except for the big head pieces where they were dis budded. We decided to get them this week instead of next basically because we were so excited. We decided on names that were different than what they were at the breeders. We named the girl Basil, the boy with the white tail is Doc, after Doc Holiday. The other boy with the pretty spots is Tobi, a Nigerian name meaning God is good!!!
Basil was the only one still living with mama so she is not very happy right now. She actually screams MMMAAAAAAAAA!!!! Today she's starting to get a little hoarse. The boys are taking it all in stride. Tobi is very gentle and almost seems to go into a trance when you scratch his neck. Doc wants to nibble everything but he stops too when you scratch him. I brushed them this morning and they stood perfectly still the whole time.
We put them in the chicken hospital overnight. Both chickens are back with the flock now. Flophead avoided it as long as she could. But she had to go. The goats seemed to settle down when it got dark. Hopefully they slept all night. I know I did because I was exhausted from listening to Basil.
Jenny was here so she helped me get set up and take care of them the first day. That was a good thing. Broch is here too but we haven't introduced any of the dogs to the goats yet. I think we'll wait awhile on that.
We made them a nice hang out area under the deck but it seems they prefer the steps. I think it's because they see us disappear up them so that's where they stay to wait for us. I think we are all going to have fun. Our Little Man bucky boy comes in the middle of June hopefully we be moved by then.
Oh yea the move, I'll have to explain all that later. It's another story.
