Not sure if you know how she got her name. My friend's doe kidded and dropped this first tiny thing on the mud and rocks, left her there and walked into the barn to have the other 2. My friend heard her barely hollering and finally found her and picked her up and set her on a little pile of hay in the pen, didn't do anything for her just set her down and walked away.  By the time I got there she wasn't moving at all. My friend said, "That one ain't gonna make it." I said, " Well she won't unless you help her out a little. You might need to tube feed her." She told me she didn't have time for all that and I could have have her. So I made her hold the doe (who wasn't very friendly) and I got her to nurse and take in a good amount of colostrum. (Thankfully I had some frozen at home too.)
And so, she was my little free doe.

Ha ha! It's a good thing you intervened on that one! She is a darling little Frito!

Me five!
And worse, I am bringing others into my addiction!
My new little sweetheart, Gretta, is DEFINITELY a people person. Yesterday, she was by the door, waiting for someone to pet her when my mother came out with a laundry basket to go take her clothes off of the line.
Gretta followed her, nuzzled her, and was generally just being her loving, charming self. My mother just talked to her the entire time.
Her statement on this turn of events? "Well, maybe my crepe myrtle needed trimming anyway. She's not so bad."
That's high praise from my mother.
My daughter came out with me to milk this morning and did VERY well at it, especially for the first time. Just set into it as if she had been doing it forever. She is currently on the other computer researching breeds...I think she has decided she wants a Saanen.

That's our job. It's what us enablers must do.

I can look out my living room window & see our goats (and our horses). Life is good. Very good indeed.
And the heat index didn't go over 100F today. Me = thankful.

Its been under a hundred here for several days now and a couple of those days it didn't get up past 80. So very nice. The goats have been so much happier and so have the chickens and rabbits.

Two days in a row that it did NOT go 100 or more.
Today, it was only 98. Whew!
~pants and hands out another "Goatkeeping 101" to passersby~

I have a Frito too, but mine is a horse! He got his name because he was born chestnut and shedded out to gray. When he started shedding he got gray rings around both eyes. Someone commented that it looked like a mask and he looked like a bandito...hence, Frito the Bandito! He is 24 and I got him when he was 2, he is my lifer. OT, but I have never "met" another Frito so I had to share
