We've had the goats for two weeks now and we're so happy! They've gotten used to their new home and they love being fed apples and hay and being stroked by the neighborhood kids. We took Kiah and Eve on a walk yesterday morning and people couldn't believe what they were seeing. One of our neighbors said sarcastically, "Just another typical day in Oakland, people walking their goats around the block!" Another guy rolled down the window of his car and asked if he could take a picture of us with his cell phone. Kiah is used to being walked and acts almost like a smart dog. Eve is not so docile and needs a little more persuasion. We have to take them out together because Eve likes to be first and so she'll keep walking to try to get in front of Kiah. It's still too early to tell if they're pregnant. Eve has been acting a little like she's in heat - irritable, butting, knocking Kiah out of the way - but we won't be able to know for sure for a couple more weeks.
On a different note, I was on Huffington Post and there was this very well-written article about how meat industries have a huge stake (oh wow. no pun intended) in schools feeding kids unhealthy, hormone and toxin-laced meat. Enjoy!
