Feeding Goats

We've had a busy two weeks since I last posted, but there's nothing new about that! My friend Brenda went on a little 3 day vacation, so we volunteered to feed her goats in the evening. Her Mother-in-Law lives close by and volunteered for the morning duties.

Brenda has one goat that she bought at auction that she bottle feeds, and her name is Dolly. Reeve and Kyle LOVE to give Dolly her bottle.


Brenda gets the milk for Dolly from the other mamas she has (Ginger & Jane). Dolly is so much more friendly and personable than Hazel, Tank, and Coco who are Ginger & Jane's kids. They're all very friendly, but Dolly WANTS to be petted and follow you everywhere you go.

Here I am with the kids feeding Dolly. She's like a little puppy dog.


This is a pic of Jane and her kid Hazel. Jane is really warming up to us now that we've been feeding her and playing with her kids.

After taking care of the goats our next duty was to gather the eggs out of the hen house. We collected 6 eggs in three days...Brenda's Mother-in-Law was also collecting eggs, but we were very happy with what we got.

More to come...well I downloaded the pics now I just have to organize them and write about them. My goal is to try to do that at least every other day. My Mom came up July 1st to watch the kids while I started my 2 weeks of daytime training at Affordable Mortgage. She's been an awesome help...my house actually looks clean, the dishes are always done, Tom's been making tasty dinners, and I've been learning a ton about mortgages.
