Goat milk = Soaps

My mommy's spent the day visiting other goats (baby goats, mommy goats and daddy goats).

My twin brother

Somewhere in a zoo in the country, lives my twin brother. Doesn't this guy looks like me? Now what happened to his ears?

Wisconsin Goats

Those guys are billy goats because they have horns. Mommy could we move there and hang out. This looks like a fun place and this little guy looks fun.

Polish goats looks like American goats

In the USA, castration of a goat is very common. Mom came upon a field in Zakopane in the south of Poland with about 10 goats. All of them had horns. Aren't they pretty and innocent. They were chained and she remembers how goats with horns like to charge at people. Watch out! do not get too close. We do not have horns but we still like to butt people and other goats.

New friends in the snow

Today we got a lot of snow. Here we are gathering under the trees but there are too many of us.

Who is the boss?

Coming to a new herd, I am going to show who is the boss around here. As you can see, it is a little bit of a struggle.

Treated like dogs!

One more trip, not sure to where. Today the weather is very cold here in Washington (about 30 degrees), snow and ice. We are being loaded in dog crates, on a way to somewhere. Hopefully this is the last truck ride.

Lots of friends in Kentucky

This looks like a large heard of goats. At least 30 plus. Unlike me and Buster, those guys have horns.

Too sad to leave our home

I love the farm. I have been leaving here for over 4 years now and it is now my home. As a goat you often do not choose where you live. This is my pity-full face.

RIP Titan

Titan our dearly beloved brother died on Tuesday 25th October. Things happen in the goat world. Freaky accidents such as what Titan experienced. He is now buried on the spring hill by our favorite spot. We will miss you Titan. Love always.

Unconditional love

Animal and Human alike, we all want unconditional love. We often fight, at least I do with my brothers, but we always have room for affection and love. When we lay down we like to lay down close and put our heads on each other back.

Three escapees

After a week of Buster jumping the fence, me and Titan took notice. If he can do it, we can too. Now at 7am, we are out of the field, hanging out on the deck, behind the kitchen.

Where is the Tequila?

Tonight Monika gave us some limes and lemons. The only thing missing is the booze that goes with it. Monika, where is the Tequila?

The mystery of the cracked hazelnuts

We have hazelnut trees in the backyard. Mommy found them on the tree still green. Couple days later, she came back and found them on the ground, cracked. What happened to the hazelnuts, she thought? Either we ate them or some other animals, squirrel ate them. Another mystery in my backyard...

Buster keep jumping the fence

Buster learned that it is possible to jump like a horse. Remember few months ago, the picture of the little dog wearing a designer sweater? That is the day Buster discovered that jumping fences was possible for a goat. In the last past few days, Buster keep checking the grass outside the field.

Titan's first horns

A year ago, Titan lost both horns in 2 days (picture is showing the way they were on his head). Mommy was so proud of him, just like a kid losing his first baby tooth. Too bad there are no "goat's horn fairy". He has grown a new one since. We shall see when that one drops. I lose my horns every 6 months to 9 months.

Strange plants

In the woods, strange plants are growing. Those might be fungus. We shall see what happens.

This weather is depressing

This weather is so depressing, we do not want to go and eat. We want to stay close to our favorite things.

Baby Fawn in the area

This morning a baby fawn and his mother walked around our property. Mommy thought it was me with a new friend.

Peter, the rabbit

Sun + Dirt = Heaven

We tend to look for dry hot spots. Buster loves to spread out in dirt wherever he can found some. He sure looks funny.

2nd Sampling

Titan is trying to eat the good hay that is on the other side of the fence. He is doing some amazing acrobatics. Oh my neck!

Sustainable farming

The grass has been cut and it is now drying on the ground. We like it at every stage but we do not like any moisture or mildew taste. The grass will be breakfast on rainy day. Here is Titan doing a sampling.

Making faces

I am enjoying myself on a sunny day, on the grass. This is one of my faces.

The bees are working hard

We do not mind sharing the fields with the working bees. They eat the pollen, and we eat the grass. We leave the flowers to them.

Pizza, the universal food

Loved among people and pets all over the world; pizza!

Please come over to our house

That beast might not be mean after all. We got close to get to know it. It just grazzed like us. It is just another animal, just bigger than us.

Strange noises next door

We heard some loud noises and did not dare check it out. Mom went to see and we did not want to follow her. She came back to get us and the curiousity got the best of us. We had to see for ourselves what it was.
Here is our new neighbor.

Laetitia's Salad Bar

No comment

Blue and Yellow tiny flowers

Not sure what kind this is, but the flower on the same stem are blue and yellow. Very strange but beautiful.

Titan and Buster new girlfriend

Today we meet the new neighbor. Her name is Sally and she is just a couple of months old.

Krispy Kreme new customers

Today we tried the new sugar frosted donuts. Mixed with grains might be a new recipe for Krispy Kreme. Yummy!

Spring 2011 flowers

Those are some of the newest flowers of the year. Never seen before on the property. They are rather small but they are beautiful.

Little dogs can be as scary as big ones

This very stylish little dog came over to visit us. He was making as much noise as the creatures inside the house. This is a picture of Titan trying to find out how friendly the little dog is.

The Weather Man

This is how I can measure the wind factor around here. No other goat is able to do the same thing. How do you like my lips? Not bad?

Bread Soup

Thanks to our friend Mirit, who gave us some nice bread. Our mommy mixed it with warm water. It is a now a bread soup. Yumm!

Tiny flower

Ready for the road!

Me and Titan decided to clean up the truck. Here we are eating the small residue of alfalfa. We do not mind jumping into the truck but we sure do not like the sounds it makes. As soon as we hear the engine, we bolt out of there.

Buster eating pine

This is the season again, where the wind brings us goodies. We get tons of pine branches.

My face

I am a friendly goat and love to be petted. Here is me, trying to get a pat from my mom. I like to rub my face against her jacket. My brothers are not as affectionate as me, but they are trying. At least, they are letting my mom touch them, not often, but they try.
