Two more kids!

Not people kids....goat kids!

For several years now I thought it would be fun to get some fainting goats. I thought they would be a great stress reliever for me....just go yell at the goats, they would fall over, and I would laugh. Well, we finally got two little female fainting goats in September. We named them Freckles and Maddie. They are so cute! However, they have yet to faint! I don't know if they have to be older before they start fainting or what, but they DON'T faint...bummer. They have also been cause for more stress rather than relieving stress. They are so small that they can get out of most anything. Just what I needed more animals to chase when they get out. After trying to keep them in the pasture only to have them escape through the smallest of holes we decided to tie them to poles with a leash. The only problem with this idea was that they would get the leashes tangled around eachother and everything else around them including weeds. They are now back in the pasture.  I hope they are getting big enough that getting out won't be much of a problem anymore. Despite them not fainting they are still cute! Hopefully one day I will get some stress relief...if nothing else at least a good laugh!
