Coming up our drive, things look pretty normal, until you look out at the barn lot.  Mingling in with 3 other perfectly normal goats, is a pretty little Nubian wearing a grey sweatshirt. Ever since fall started coming on, this sweet girl has been cold to the point of shivering so I decided that if my neighbors could dress their horses in capes and thier dogs in sweaters, my goat could borrow a shirt from my husbands closet. I cut the sleeves off and there it was, a $6 goat coat. But of course, one was not enough. Any self respecting girl has to change her shirt once-in-a-while so off to the thrift shop I went to buy her another. If my camera and computer were comunicating  (they seem to have had a spat) I would post a picture. She looks so cute! It looks like it will be a warm day today, so I need to go undress her for now, but it will go right back on tonight.

Best wishes,

HEY! I wonder if any of our gazelles here at the zoo would tolerate such a thing. We have one or two who, until they get used to cooler temps will stand there and siver too. All our critters have access to heated shelters but mostly prefer to stay out where they can keep a watch out for perceived predators. (Lions are safely in their enclosures.....no to worry!) |

What a sweet thing to do for your goat! I had a question. Since I have goats myself I know that my goats would try to eat the "coat off the others back". LOL But your goats didn't do this? Daisy |

Ok, now the camera is out of batteries, so I cant even give it a try. I'm heading to town tomorrow and I'll add them to my list. As for goats being difficult to raise...I don't think so. If you read all the literature on goats, you'll get to believing that they are prone to droping dead over anything, but from what I've seen that isn't so (I've only had mine a year). They are very smart, so they can be troublesome about opening gates (and doors to feed rooms) and playing jokes (shutting you up in places or hiding from you) but overall they are a blast. A handraised goat with a great personality is priceless!

Sort of off-subject, but are goats complicated to raise? We just bought a farm and are renovating the house right now but I want to think about getting a few animals and was thinking goats might be good.

I love it. We made lamb coats for our lambs after they are sheared. They always looks so cold.

You're such a good goat mom. How sweet. Will the other goats get jealous of her new wardrobe? I'd love to see pictures of her.
