Oh that is SO cool! I only have 2, they were a gift from my son and a girlfriend. We were not yet living out here on the farm so I moved out for a while to figure out what to do with 2 baby goats. It was so fun, they were twins and hand raised by the woman that they got them from. Brothers. Why boys I don't know but now I will never have anything other than boys because that saves any goats I have here from the meat department! Anyway, one of the boys died. I had them at Kansas State Vet School and they did not know but did some investigative surgery and he died so now I have the original Dwarf Nigerian and a Pygmy. Only two because I had 7 horses at that time, now only 5. If my family could stop getting sick around me I would like to build it up a little and get a few more. I know one thing for certain,  I do not ever want to be without goats.

What a perfect way to raise a child :-)  Your story makes me smile so much it hurts.  It sounds like they are a perfect match with your living situation.  What could be better for the goats and for your daughter than having goats around? They are just a source for laughing and love.  Love that your husband has that text notification.   I never even thought of that.  How wonderful!

I hope you feel better. Chronic illness is just the most awful way to go through life until you learn to deal with it and even then it isn't exactly great. I see people every day not able to deal with their illness and it hurts to watch them go through it. I hope you feel better. I bet the goats help :-)  and games with friends.  Be well and thank you!
