I, fortunately, have married a farm boy. He likes goats. On our little farmlet, We have goats. About 2 years ago we bought a couple of goats "to mow the lawn" At least that was how my husband sold our kids on them. I don't require convincing when it comes to animals. Anyway one was a billy and the other was a nanny.
When the little billy died last year, my husband went looking for a companion for the nanny. We bought a bred nanny and a small billy. The new nanny gave us 2 babies just a year ago. Both were girls. Last December, the older nanny gave us 2 babies, one boy and one girl. We went from 1 goat to 3 goats to 5 goats to 7 goats in about 10 months.
That was until this week. One of the babies from last year gave us the cutest little billy Saturday night. The nanny we bought last year just gave us a little girl today. The other little girl born last year is due any day now.
Like I said I love baby goats. But I have a problem. I want to be outside watching them and holding them and just messing with them in general. But the pollen is crazy right now and my allergies are kicking my butt. I am miserable. I am working hard to keep this crap from turning into Asthmatic Bronchitis. Yet I just spent an hour outside messing with the goats. It was worth it though. Because, Baby Goats!
Do you ever do things you know you will end up paying for later just because it brings you joy?
