For all three of my goats this is their favorite spot...the main door.
She may just want to be closer to you. Is she kept with other goats?

That might be possible, I have meniers disease, and when I have a bad day my queen will rub all over me, like she is trying to make me feel better.

Yep, I bet she's looking for her "momma".

My goats know when I'm upset too - I'll have my big goofy wether, Gabriel, peering up into my face to see what's wrong, and the others will all be pushing against me to comfort me. They're not dumb!
