They have arrived
« on: May 29, 2012, 08:58:48 am »
 ;D  We got them last night.  They are sooo cute!  They were a bit shellshocked when we put them in their pen but had settled down when we went to say goodnight (we always go out to the stable at 10 to give our pony a handful of hay and to say goodnight lol).
 
Going to spend a bit of time with them this morning just sitting, to get them used to me. 
 
I am sure I will have LOADS of questions soon!

Looking good and that's another animal on my list that I hope to get one day so I'm very jealous. Please keep the updates coming so I can learn as you go along! ;D

They look lovely - are you reading aloud to them?  My goats listen to radio 4 all day and are the best-informed goats around.

Aww they're lovely. I miss my pygmies, they make realy good companions.   I have Angoras now which are a little more aloof - but stay in the field better!  Can't say I've tried reading to them!! What would you recommend? Definitely not Animal Farm  ;D

They look like mischief on legs, they would probably like " The Goat the Bad and the Ugly " ,  " Goatbye Mr Chips",  " Goat on a hot tin roof " etc.

They look lovely, spending time with them is important 'work' and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
