Goat Jumper

We have a Nigerian Dwarf Goat that will jump literally on my back, if I kneel down to pet the smaller goats. Which is quite fun, not really! It really hurts :-(
Her name is Olivia and she is quite loving, but I am not sure why she does it. Does she want attention or is she jealous? Hmmm! Who knows what is going on in her mind.

I do know that I love the goats we have. We made some good choices on the goats we have.

We have also added some LaMancha's. They are really sweet too, we bought a nanny and a buck. I asked Riley what he thought about a name for the female. He was not sure, so I asked him about some characters from the cartoon PowerPuff Girls. He named them and we decided 'Buttercup' would be good for the nanny. She does have a coloring toffee so it goes good. Now the buck is quite a character, no pun intended. When I saw him I just fell in love with him. He has a nice little hair do on top of his head. So my husband came up with Cosmo Kramer from Seinfeld! So funny :-)) LOL! Love it!

Spring is not far away

Getting up early feeding the animals, then getting on the milking stand. I can hear the birds singing. Which is very nice, but it also make's me realize how we don't really get to enjoy a Fall or Spring here in Louisiana. Which is sad, those are my favorite seasons! Another irony is that my favorite smells are the smell of rain and fresh cut grass. Well I am allergic to ALL grasses! How about that one! LOL!
