The same morning Oma Winda flew back to the Netherlands, Simon and I went on a tour at Side Hill Acres Dairy Farm with our playgroup buddies Sungiva, Nellia, Willow and assorted parents. The tour was wonderful, lots of goats and lots of babies, and we all came home with lots of dairy goodies - except Simon, he came home with baby goats :-)
We had picked two at the farm and called them Adam (orange) and Jamie (black & white) but Adam never drank real well and he passed two days later. Jamie had a little dip (funny how baby goats and baby humans are similar!) but with a little nudge here and there we got into a good routine.
Jamie loves sleeping on my lap, likes to follow Simon around the house (in circles) and comes outside to hang out & play with us, though power tools are not his favorite toys... it's like having a little dog in goat fur! Except for the part of not being house trained...He drinks (pasteurized) goat milk from our local grocery store, about 4 times a day.
