Getting our goats!!!

BAAAAD NANNIES!!!!!



On Saturday, Scott took most of the kids and Laura Kate Park and headed off to meet the Killoughs at the goat sale in Pontotoc. Well, I had my suspicions, and sure enough, they returned with not one but two GOATS! Their names have changed quite a bit. Lucy and Ethel, Granny and Pearl, Martha and Pepper, but I think we finally settled on Martha Washington and Betsy Ross. Well, Betsy looks like she may be popping out some kids real soon!!! ANYWAY, as goats are prone to do, ours have escaped numerous times. When we returned from Keepers and Contenders last night, they had vanished. Scott was not too concerned. He said they just lay down and sleep at night and they would not be roaming all over creation. Well, after he left this morning, I called him and he said the goats were still not home. (still not very concerned) He said they would probably wander home. Well when I went outside, I heard some dogs down the street barking loudly, so we loaded up to see if the goats were down there and sure enough there they were in our neighbor's front yard!!!!! I called Scott to come home at once and Claire, Ben and I tried to catch them. We caught the old goat, but the one great with kids escaped our grasp - time and time again. (the whole time there was this car at the church parking lot with a young looking guy in it, seems like he COULD have offered to help us) I was in my PJS and houseshoes!! I am quite sure he had a good laugh! Anyway, we tied up the old goat to a bush and waited for hubby to arrive . I caught some things on camera, but Scott's goat herding was priceless. He says he is for sure injured after it and it was a sight to watch!!! They finally were roped and Ben , Claire and Scott walked them home on the rope leashes.










The goats definitely got our goats. And come next goat sale, I think we will be on the other end of the sale - getting rid of Martha and Betsy!





Just another day on the farm :)
