Naming of the Pygmie Goats


The epitome of stubborn.... meet Aggie...you've seen her in my blog before....but Aggie has developed a real "personality" lately. After Ninnie came to live with us, Aggie wasn't the smallest or the "new girl" anymore...and she became quite the bully...she's jealous of any attention Ninnie gets (and Ninnie is a pet and loves people), so she gets closer and even lets you pet her now...but STUBBORN!!!!

Here's a little shot of Ninnie...She has the coolest face.




I've named all of the new goats now. Here's a photo of little Ben. He has no qualms about joining the big girls for dinner. The good thing about these goats is that they don't really pick on the babies....they let them get away with a lot....if Ben was a big goat, and new to the herd, he wouldn't be able to get in there so easily.


Here they all are...lined up to eat dinner. From Left to Right they are: Jerry, Ben, Carrie, Hattie, Cate....the rest are regular sized goats...Annie, the next one in line is our smallest boer goat..she's really still a kid.

Ben is the smallest of the new babies and don't you just love that little face. So sweet...I love baby goats!


This is Hattie & Carrie. Carrie is the baby and Hattie the mom...aren't they interesting looking....I keep thinking of Benji when I see them... Little Carrie has some baby horns and she's such an energetic little thing bouncing around and hanging close to mom. George was calling her Sponge Bouncy in stead of SpongeBob today so I had to get her named so he would stop calling her Sponge Bouncy.

Love the names you picked out: Ben & Jerry! You need a Harry & David now. :)

Those pygmies are precious.

You should add some fainting goats to the mix next.

And Steve and Barry....

What the heck is a fainting goat? Is that like a blushing bride?

A fainting goat is a small one too and it actually faints (passes out...hits the floor) when scared.

I had fun with the names.
