The Itty Bitty Goat

Not a mini (she is a standard Nubian baby), not born early (showed no signs of prematurity...just an itty bitty, precious little goat dealing with the brutes and thugs who throw their weight around the kitchen! I have to snatch her up and cuddle her to be certain she is not overwhelmed by the monsters...carrying her around is going to be difficult when she catches up...but we will manage (groan). NOTE: see in the last photo how she is potty trained just like the monsters? What a BIG girl!!

I'm thinking we all need to build a Kid Room onto our houses.

dozedotz, my wife would KILL me if I brought goats into the house. (By the way, your carpet has a wet spot.)

Well, it is just too cold and snowy out there for their itty bitty tootsies! Now, some years we really should put them outside sooner...but they are so little and I can't sleep knowing that there are evil coyotes lurking around every corner...even if our LGD is right there. What if she were over powered??! So, we are headed into good weather (finally) and we are sending them out the door into the cold, cruel world tomorrow...well, not the itty bitty one...she needs to stay with her mama (er, caregiver).

Alice, I've been threatening to do this for years. With a goat-proof glass sliding door.
