Nostalgia and goats

I was looking through some of my boxes of stuff that I got out of storage a couple weeks ago. I found a bunch of pictures of some of the animals I've owned (and still own). The first is a picture of Seth when he was still under 1 yr old. He's 9 now.

The second one is a horse we had named Blue with our Poodle riding on his back. Seth and Tank are helping. Tank was an ACD/Rottie X dog that we rescued and raised on goat milk at 2 days old. His mother buried all her pups and he was the sole survivor. He was the result of a brother/sister mating from the neighbors dogs.

These are a few of the goats we used to raise. Mostly Nubians, but I also had some Alpines. We raised them for their milk and to sell. The light colored one is Alana.

These are some of my kids...two legged and four legged. I always wanted to send in some of these pics to the toy manufacturer and tell them how kid proof their toys were.

There is a human kid in amongst the goat kids. The goat kids were always so cute. I'd recruit all the children on the block to come help feed the babies their bottles. I sometimes had quite a few and they were never left with the Moms. I would never have gotten any milk if they'd been left on to nurse. I had one doe, Molly, that would always go check on her babies before coming into the milking shed to be milked. She had no problem with me feeding her babies, but she had to always make sure they were ok. She also liked to drink Pepsi out of a glass. She was probably my favorite of all the does we had over the years.
