Miss Francine...

This is Francine aka Franny the Nanny Goat, she is currently living with us while Kaitlin does an FFA record book on her. She is just now about a year old, was originally adopted by my Dad & Beth, then Kaitlin asked if she could use her as her FFA project. So she came to stay with us. I do have to say that I was not sure about the idea of having a goat live in my house (yes, people she is housebroken) but she has been a lot of fun. It is true that a goat will eat just about anything, I meanly really who needs a paper shredder when you can have a pygmy goat. She will eat your personal documents and dispose of them in nice little pellets that no one could ever put back together. She is a really funny girl, she loves Caleb...Caleb will get down on his hands and knees and play the head butt game with her. Even though she is small she can head butt pretty hard, but Caleb has learned to lean back so that she doesn't hit him so hard. Of course since it has been winter Franny has not had any green to graze on, all she has had all winter long is hay. When we put her in the other pen (usually the dogs are in this pen) she got so excited b/c there were just a few leaves (dead of course) hanging from branch that she just had to have. So she decided to climb the tree to get to those few dead leaves. Up she went and there she was munching on her leaves when I went to check on her...I thought she just looked too cute standing in the tree like that so I took a few pics to share.
