Stop it! Just cut it out!:)

This image makes me want to jump into the car to go up to Iowa where we have grand niece and nephew goats. There are triplets two weeks old, a singleton that is about a month old, and twins on the way.
Baby goats and kittens are my favorites.

We've had goats in the past and I love the way you can cuddle baby goats just like puppies. As adults, however, they can be cute and a pain at the same time. Miss the cuddle time.

Yes, puppies grow into dogs, kittens into cats, kids into goats, etc.. The baby stage of all goes much too quickly. When our first twins were born, I was surprised how snuggley baby goats are….almost wanted to bring them in the house but mama goat would definitely not allow it.

My dh has a “no goats in the house” rule - which he modified to “no goats in the house unless absolutely necessary” after I broke it multiple times for premies or rejected kids, or cold snaps that were just too much....

these little guys guys will be visiting my classroom in a couple of weeks.

Love!!! I keep up with a young man who I watched grow up and he raises goats to help pay his college expense. I love baby goat season. And yes...I'm guilty of watching goat videos on youtube....a lot.

yes, I also watch youtube videos of the little goats.

Husband is now retired and talking about getting some goats.

He has visions of them eating the grass on the slope, I think they will eat everything else. LOL

Triplets last night. All boys unfortunately. The third one was breech and wouldn’t engage. I got him turned (backwards) by which time mom was so tired I had to pull him. I was also tired. And cold.

Everybody looks good this morning though. One of them might need splints to straighten his legs out, but we’ll see how they look tomorrow. It was crowded in there!
