It’s almost spring and we have some new animals to celebrate around here. Our kittens are getting bigger and are about ready for mousing duties. We caught one eating a small bird. Mikki pointed out that without barn cats we’d probably end up with barn snakes so cats it is.
We acquired a new goat when a goat momma in the area decided she wanted nothing to do with this little fur ball. The owners were going to kill the poor baby goat so Mikki rescued it and agreed to take on the responsibility of bottle feeding it for many weeks. She is pretty cute (and the goat, too). She doesn’t walk – she hops around, frolicking and prancing like a…well…like a kid.
Moonshine saw Maizy and had a cow (haha). So we let them sniff each other. Neither was impressed.
I don’t know where she gets all of the energy but it sure is fun watching her frolic.
Any new animals around your farm this year?
Cute baby! No new animals around the barn, but I got reminded the other day that if I want to breed LH, her baby would get free board for a year.
I did get a line on some babies that need lovin’ starting in May. They are paint/friesan crosses and will be sooooo cute!
The last picture is great! I love the boots in the foreground, the kid in midair, and the horse looking on in the background!
In the fall we adopted a german shepherd/rottweiler puppy and he is growing like a weed! He’s loving the spring weather. =)
Cant wait to show this picture to my daughter – she’ll love it! We are sticking to one mouse, one hamster and one lizard. And one cat, for dramatic purposes. You know the “Where’s the cat? Not in your room with the mouse?! AHHHHHH!” kind of thing…
Those pictures are great…love the one of the baby goat leaping! He looks like he’s attacking your boots!
No new critters around here. I’m still recuperating from my horse fall on Christmas eve and surgery to replace my ACL. So my hubby and kids are doing full critter care duties and I don’t want to add to their duties.
I wanted to breed my mini mancha dairy goat last Fall for a Spring freshening, but now I’m glad I didn’t.
Those last two photos are truly amazing. Excellent captures!
And what a cute baby goat.
Will you be getting her a goatie friend soon?
