Getting another goat!

So, I am happy

We're going to go ahead and buy Sugar's full sister and littermate, by the name of Storm. I'm making arrangements right now. I am excited, because I am so in love with my girls and I will have three does from the same dam

. Yay!

My DH-- the resistant one usually with goats-- was the one who said we should go ahead and pay up to $150 for her

. She's in milk-- 1/4 Saanen 3/4 Nigerian dwarf just like my other girls.

I actually have had the goat bug for a long time

When I was born, my parents owned a small goat dairy. When I was still a baby they moved here to AZ and we continued to have goats until I was about 6. Ever since then I have wanted my own goats.

Back in 2002, when I still had my horse rescue, I bought a mess of a goat from auction and cleaned her up. She was an alpine, with horrible mastitis. I was able to re-home her as a companion 'nanny' to baby goats who were bottle raised. I called her Yoda

. Yoda stole my heart and I knew for sure I'd get goats somehow!

I can't get many more than I have on the 0.2 acres here

But I'm thrilled with my (soon to be three!) girls
