GOATS!!!

So, the goats have arrived! They arrived exactly a week ago from Bonnie Doone and I think they're getting used to life in the city. At first it was a little hard for them to get used to the light pollution at night and they didn't know when to go to sleep, but they're doing fine now. Their names are Kiah and Eve, and they're Oberhaslis. They spend their time hanging out with the chickens, whose coop has an opens onto the goat enclosure. The neighborhood kids are really excited. They keep asking what kind of animal we're going to get next. They suggested elephants but that sounds like a lot of work. I don't think we're going to get any animals that don't have some sort of use. We're trying to work towards semi-self-sufficiency. The goats are pregnant now, knocked up by Colleen's bucks Joseph and Vassen, so we should start getting milk in March. The baby goats are going to be SOOOOOO cute!
