Daily Farmhouse Journal
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!”

Ahhh, life on a farm
It certainly exposes you to some of the randier sides of nature 
Poor Coco - such an early age for that visual 
Thanks Suzanne!! We love reading your stories, every day filled with laughter and family.

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!”

My first smile of the day!
9:22

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!
9:25
am
I guess one is never to young.
9:34

Absolutely hilarious!!! What a great way to start my day. Coco is getting way ahead of herself in her education I think.
9:42
am
OMG, that is tooooo funny. ::wipes tears from eyes:: What an education for Coco.
10:03
am
This is sex education 101. Man you’re going to be very busy soon.
10:05
am
Should I ask if Princess needs a blindfold as well as Coco?
10:06
am
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!
10:09
am
Oh well, you can’t protect them forever. Coco would’ve probably seen it on tv or learned about it on the school bus anyway.
10:18

I love comming to your site
10:22

Nothing like getting a small piece early in the morning.
You totally cracked me up. Don’t look Cocoa. Or Ethel.
10:31

11:18

I’m sure Coco closed her eyes, gritted her puppy teeth and thought, “…think of England…”.
11:25

I LOVE A GOOD LAUGH IN THE MORNING!

LOL looks like Coco will get an earlier “Birds and the Bees” talk than you thought.
12:39

How Funny is that!… My friend called me from Tennessee just to ask if I had read your blog yet. So I went straight to my computer to read it. Thanks for making us Both laugh today!
1:42

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.

Practice makes perfect and baby goats

Oh yeah. We have a neighbor with goats, so we know all about that kind of behavior!

I guess we know why the goats are smiling?!!
6:43
pm
I guess I was wrong, guessing that was 52 (above) - because I thought you would laugh…you didn’t. LOL So, I guess it was not him!
6:49
pm
I’m sorry, Donna, yes, that was 52 holding the baby! I was away from the computer today.

Don’t look Coco! LOL And Coco, with the tongue always hanging out. Funny stuff!
