I got kissed today!

By a goat.
My husband, cousin and I were out yard saling today (a large community sale) and one of the places had free rangin' chickens and three goats. I don't know the type, but they were SO friendly. Every one else was walking by the yard (big back yard, fenced in chainlink with tons of shady trees and grass- if I were a critter I know i'd be in heaven!) but when I squatted next to the fence and called to them, two of the three came rushing over. I stuck my fingers through and rubbed their faces and when my nose brushed the fence, one touched it's nose to mine and just stood there- lol. On our way back to the truck, I stopped again and the two came flying over, calling to me. This time, the goat stuck it's nose as far through the fence as possible. I kept trying to convince Greg it needed to come home with us and i'd hold it on my lap- but it was a no go.

Yep, I have one doeling who is a kisser too. The others I just grab their cute little snout and plant a kiss on it, much to their dismay! I can't help it, their cute little muzzles are my favorite thing.

when I show affection to my one doe and give her a little kiss she brings up cud, every time. I don't get a kiss, I get cud. My others dont' do this.

Aw... Emily that's adorable! Lookin' at your goat, i'm guessin' these guys were babies. Their heads might have came up to my knees.

Lol, Goatkid!

both my girls are kissers too. they also get very jealous if one is getting a smooch and the other isn't,lol. I get a kick out of it, Nibbles will be happily eating away and Pumpkin will be getting a smooch and nibbles will drop whatever she is doing and try to push her out of the way to get her lovins too!
