[Rockytopsis]

Very clever for a 8 year old, he seems to have the character of the goat breeds down pat.

[Katgowen]

What a great song; I had a good chuckle over it. What a creative 8 year old you have.

[ladycat]

LOL that's good!

[Sweet Goats]

That is WONDERFUL. I think you have a song writer in the family now.

Yes, She is very into goats. Every story at school involves a goat some how. She is in the T.A.G. class and her teachers enjoy her work. My oldest has has a book published through her T.A.G class and it had goats in it too. Her book this year that had gotten published was her own cook book. Sorry I got off topic and had to brag a bit

Her teacher sent a note home with her yesterday asking if she could publish this in our local news paper. My Daughter is so excited to have it put in there. The teacher is putting a few of the other students in there also.
