Goofy Goats

I must admit that goats are unconventional pets. They make my yard smell like a barnyard, they use the bathroom EVERYWHERE, and they are always managing to get stuck places they shouldn't be. All of that aside...they are really humerous to have:)!! Brad is outside mowing so I send Bish out to go play. As soon as Bishop steps out of the back door...all three goats come running!! He is the one who feeds them everynight so they follow him around like he is a god:)!! He has this new obsession with trying to lift them off their feet...I am not sure why. He is always telling me that they are "HEAVY, mom!"All of the goats have developed more & more of a personality. The original goat, Lady, is still a BIG chicken. She does NOT like to be touched or get to close to anyone...but she is as cute as can be. She does not have any horns at all...we wonder about her...um...breeding:)! Tinkerbell is actually pretty sweet now...she HAS to be on top of something. The dog house or a chair....she wants to stand tall!! She loves to be petted & just loves Bish! Tammy has become quite a little stinker. She is still a little love bug but she is ORNERY!! She has decided that she doesn't like Shadow & makes this known often. She will rear back on her hind legs & then drop down to all four, lower her head & try to butt Shadow. She does this to NO ONE else....just Shadow:)!! She is also the one that likes to get herself stuck where she doesn't belong. Brad had to rescue her this morning...she was stuck between the dog house & the porch...no telling how long she had been there...silly goat!!They are all goofy but I must admit that they are good for some laughs. Tinkerbell & Tammy would like to be house goats...they try to just follow Shelah inside!! So...there is your laugh for the day...the Bakers & their pets....:)****Brad update**** He had his surgery and everything went well. He is sleeping off his medication as we speak...he was a real trooper!! I stayed with him but it was hard...even knowing he wasn't in too much pain but knowing that he was uncomfortable was hard. Thank you for the prayers!!!

Glad everything went well for Bradley today! LOVE the goats! They look like they have grown quite a bit. I want goats but they have to be the fainting ones! LOL.
