Is There Anything Cuter...

...than the sound of 5 day old kid feet chasing you around the vinyl kitchen floor wanting you to hurry up with their bottle?

Any others?

Perhaps not cuter, but close, is seeing a 5 day old kid snuggled up with four 200lb English Mastiff dogs after his bottle.

Debbie... You have English Mastiff's. I used to show then years ago. They are a wonderful breed. I had to put the last 2 down last summer cancer. I bet that is an adorable site to see.

Momma goat - 6 yrs old, keeping kids on her for the first time - taking her kids out to the lovely green winter rye pasture for the first time and following them around to make sure they are safe. Love it.

English Mastiffs - wow! Would love to see a pic of that!

All of those present the most lovely mental images. How about a 5 day old sleeping in my arms in the living room on the couch while I watch star wars after she ate and played in the kitchen? Oh yeah, I'm hooked on goats again. This little cutie has me wrapped around her little hooves.

my little 2 week old baby goat sleeping on the couch next to my 3 year, its so cute.

and if anyone wants to know a good trick for keeping dippers on their goat kid, if you put on a baby onez shirt with the snaps on the but and cut a hole in the in it and the dipper that keeps it from falling off.

There really is nothing cuter than a baby goat. Some of my does are due in the coming week and I'm looking forward to the pitter patter of little goat hooves around here.

Four little kids bucking and skipping in the pasture on their first warm day outside. And watching them "graze" next to their mamas- too funny!

there is nothing cuter then having twins in the house for the first 2 weeks! after that the carpet (it's old any-ways) is so gross you spend 3 weeks cleaning and then the next ones have to come in!
Oh you got-a love them! (next due in 5 weeks still cleaning after the last ones! only 4 weeks ago! Have it only been that long?)
