Goats and mental blockage

Dean and Jerry arrived a week ago today. They are cute as can be and I am falling in love with them very quickly. In fact, it is almost rather pathetic. I spend hours playing with them in their pen and worry about them when I am out and about. Forget becoming a crazy old cat lady--I'm going to turn into a crazy old goat lady. Argh! Ah well, at least it's a unique sort of fate. Right? ;)

Really, though--I'm sure I'll chill out a bit once I start back to work on Monday.

So anyway, back to Dean and Jerry. The goats each have a very distinct look and personality. Jerry is black with a few white spots, and has a really nice dark brown coat coming in with lots of crimp in it. He is extremely friendly, and acts rather like a little dog (wags his tail, licks, and everything!). Jerry loves the kids, and cries like a baby when you leave the pen.

Dean, on the other hand, is a little more stand-offish and aloof. He was not bottle fed, so all of this human interaction makes him nervous. He's warming up though--today he ran to the gate when Sky went out to see them and seemed right friendly! Dean's coat is really thick and fluffy (and cream-colored), and his eyes are light blue. So beautiful!

I have a whole lot more to say, but I'm just not sure how to get it out. So...hm. I guess I'll sign off for now.
