The New Goats

So, as many of you have heard, we got some new goats this weekend. By "we", I mean Nehemiah and I. Debra was out of town with some friends, so Nehemiah and I went over to Trinity, NC, about two and a half hours away, and tried to pick out the best goats possible with our limited goat knowledge... Nehemiah was just happy to pick out goats that didn't try to climb on him. In the end we chose these two Alpine kids and have named them Ashley (after Ashley Thiebaud, Debra's sister) and Lucy (after Lucy Pevensie, from the Chronicles of Narnia). Ashley is the predominately black goat and Lucy is the one with more white in her markings. As you can see, Nehemiah has taken to them quickly and is even learning how to feed them, although, we are pretty sure that this won't happen when it is time to clean the pen.
