I'm sure you can see where this is going. The Little Dragon's mom let us know that the farm where they got their goats last year had baby goats again this year again.
I was at work when I listened to my voice mail. I heard a tiny but excited voice (Pickle) telling me all about how he and Dada were going to go see some goats. Later I got an email titled the "4-1-1 on Goats" with some amazing pictures (see below.)
A few days later, JJ and I got to see the baby goats as well. We fell in love with them quite instantly. I really loved the smokey/grey colored baby goat. He nuzzled up to my face and let me snuggle him-- until he got too fidgety and wanted down. The goat farmer told me that baby goats get to know their human "parents" by the human "mama" blowing air gently in their face. Kinda weird but I did it! The funniest thing I saw that day... the baby goats jump on their mama's back. They are definitely climbers. The goats were in and out of the water trough (luckily empty) and up and down off their mama's back as well as on and off some wooden blocks within their pen. The outside goats (not the mamas or newborn babies) were enjoying climbing up and down the picnic table (a goat 'must have' per the goat farmer.)
We can pick up our two boy "kids" the first weekend of May. Until then, they will stay with their goat mama and get big and strong off 'mama milk'. Farmer J and JJ's spring break will be busily spent preparing the barn for our two new arrivals. We are very excited.
We have yet to come up with names for the little guys. Some options: Duncan and Declan, Smokey and Bandit, Phineas and Ferb, Thor and Loki or Frodo and Samwise. There were also many Star Wars themed names as well as other Superheros.
The white/black "smokey" little boy is ours!!
This little white/brown guy is our other baby goat!
