OK, y'all, someof you been clamouring for baby goat pictures. Well, follow the link to Flickr and ye shall receive. Right now (Jan 15, 2007) they're at the head of the FlickrStream, but you may also click on the Animal Portraits set for the group of them.

Well, a few pigs and a horse and Herself snuck into a few of those photos.

Well, that's a silly question. They are our kind of goats! We own them!

Yes, Squrrl, they're our kind of goats. They're also 'Florida Scrub' i.e. cross between Nubian, French Alpine (hence the amount of black & white), and Pygmy.

Neat-o! I saw the tall, leggy ones with sorta floppy ears, but then not on all and thought "Sort of Nubian", but the little grey look like Pygmies. That 'splains it. They must do well in the heat and humidity then.

PS: Bob passed the photos around to the ladies in his office amid squeals of, "OMIGOD, THEY ARE SO CUTE! CAN WE GET ONE FOR THE OFFICE??!!!"

Goat? Or photograph?

The Kids grow up and get edible bigger, you know. :-)

Bob patiently reminded them of that fact 'o life and they still squealed, "WE DON"T CARE! WE WANT ONE! SO VERY, VERY CUTE!! BABY GOATS! BABY GOATS! BABY GOATS!!"

Or something to that effect. It was hard to tell.
