These are the girls...



That's Lucky on the left and Heidi on the right. They are Nubian dairy goats; Heidi's eight now, and Lucky is five. Nubians are known for their Roman noses, richness of milk and richness of personality and intellect. Which these two girls have in spades!

Lucky is wont to help herself to the buffet in the hayloft at will. Heidi will nip the asparagus any chance she gets. Both think they should be allowed in the house. NOT! Well, actually, Lucky spent the first few nights of her life not only in the house but in bed with me. She was the third and smallest of triplets, born on a cold night, and she developed pneumonia. She was lucky to live, hence the name.

Her name was earned again when she was a yearling, when the sheep and goat holocaust occurred. A pack of feral dogs attacked and killed 30% of my animals while I slept the two hours my 4 month old daughter allowed me between feedings.
