Coco Meets the Goats

Before we bring our own goaties home, we wanted to take Coco to the goat farm to visit the mamas and babies. I said, “Look, Coco! Goats! You will love them and play with them and protect them with your life.”





Coco reacted with the same immediate enthusiasm she had for stairs.





She bounced off to talk to their chickens. She knows about chickens. She has some of them.

“Coco, come back!”





“You can do it, Coco. You were so brave just the other day.”





“See how pretty the babies are? So sweet and adorable?”





Coco sniffed a little bitty baby with great caution. “It’s okay, Coco,” I told her. “Look what innocent cherubs they are, fresh from God’s arms.”





“They bounce, Coco. Just like you.”





“See how they romp and frolic and clamber?”





“See how they– What are they doing? They’re too young for– Oh, no. No!”





“Don’t look, Coco! Don’t look!”

    Oh the innocence! Baby goats are sooo cute! Coco is in for a lot of work between the chicken and the goats. Which will be battling for her attention? Probably neither! More like, “keep your distance!”

    What a hoot! With that kind of attitude, how is it the world is not totally overrun with little goats? Look at how the other goats are watching. Pervs!

    LOL That was funny!
    That Coco! She is so adorable..that is so cute of 52 (????) holding the baby goat and Coco getting to know it. Adorable!

    The chickens are funny on the food trough! Some of them are so pretty – I love the colors!

    Between the critters and 52 and Princess and the boys, there sure is alot of fun to be had, each day!

    LOL! Okay, that’s hysterical. Way to teach Coco about the birds and the bees — or the goat and the goat, as the case may be.

The Slanted Little House

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....
