The Goat Whisperer
Our neighbor "Big Steve" just bought two goats for his daughter Kimberly. Why he bought goats is a long story. Jim has wanted a goat for a long time, so Jim and Steve got talking one day and they decided it would be a good idea to get A goat. They decided a pygmy goat would be the best because it wouldn't get very big. Well as things progressed and they started talking to people who had goats or raised them for a living they found out that fainting goats would make better pets because they are more friendly and just have ab all around better temperament. The only down side is you have to have two goats other wise they will get depressed. Yes that's right depressed. Well Jim thought that was hilarious because Steve only wanted one goat. So Jim kept making fun of him that he was going to have a suicidal goat that would probably drowned itself in his bird bath. Well last Friday Steve brought home TWO goats. I guess he didn't want to take the chance of being responsible for his goat killing itself. The funny part is they are fainting goats. SO if you scare them they literal fall over and faint. They get stiff as a board and the look dead. It is hilarious. They are very cute. One is brown and white (Ace)the other is black and white.(Jackson).So I took Charlotte over to see them. She had a little bit of a puzzled look on her face. It was cute. So now we have The Krueger Family petting zoo next door. There is a two beer admission fee. It is funny because Steve has had every animal under the sun over there. Goats, Chicken, ducks, dogs, rabbits, a fox, guinea pig, and fish. Well this morning I was sitting outside playing with Charlotte on the lawn and every time she would let out a little scream the goats would call back to her. Neither her or the goats could figure out where the noise was coming from. It was pretty funny because they sounded exactly alike. So Charlotte has a new nickname The goat whisperer......
