Problems - I got 'em.
But what I also have
is goats.
is goats.
And a problem,
once told to a goat
once told to a goat
just refuses to stay a problem.
Goats don't judge you, they always keep a secret,
and they gently and curiously nuzzle any tears away
while murmuring sweet nothings in the ear they are trying to find.
Goats do not ignore you and are perpetually at your side when you are working
in case you need their help.
They are happy to do whatever you ask of them
as long as it intermittently involves treats or back scratching.
They, in turn, offer butt rubs and back massages
that you don't even have to ask for.
Goats don't turn their noses up at things you offer them.
No matter what it is, they will at least take it off your hands for you.
When you are feeling silly or playful, goats are more than willing to join in.
A mere push on the forehead can send a goat rearing like Tonto
in an effort to get you to "just try that again".
All one needs to live happily with goats is an open heart,
a good pair of steel-toed shoes,
and a commitment to care for them.
and a commitment to care for them.
The rest is just real-time therapy.

This was the sweetest post ever. Reading this was MY therapy for the day.
Your goats murmur sweet nothings in your ear? I'm laughing -- ours are more likely to burp up some cud.
They are the BEST therapy though, just like you said.
And, again, I love LOVE the coloring on the goat in the last picture.
that is too sweet! :)
This is so true! Just a few years ago I would never even think that I would have a goat.Now ...I can't ever imagine a life without them.They are wonderful,addictive creatures!
Awww I love the post and the pictures are adorable. I think if I had property, I'd probably have a few goats.
I so adore your goats. You got such great pictures - they seem to shine w/ goatie personality :-)
Michaele you are so lucky to have such wonderful little friends. I am very envious.
Am not very familiar with goats and didn't realize the babies are so cute!
Really a relaxing post, thanks!
I've lived around many farm animals, but never goats... they have always intrigued me... love your thoughts and shots!
Oh, you are making me want some goats! I'm not sure what my dogs would think about that!
You win for sweetest pictures in a while. Those babies are adorable and the two together look like they're dancing. Thanks
Love this post.....nothing but the truth! Everyone should know the love of a goat....they are just the coolest animals ever!
Really cool pics! Love the little one with the black boots! Hope you have a great weekend, take care:@)
Oh my gosh, those photos are just too adorable. Love the last one in particular!

We love our goats... they just brighten your day. I love spendin time with mine.

So much truth in this post, thank you for putting it into words.
I have never lived around goats, but every time I go to the fair and there are babies, I want to bring one home with me.
So sweet! Everyone should have some goats.........don't you think? blessings,Kathleen
ahh..I so agree...and I will have to look back on this post about the end of January. Maybe you could repost it just for the uplifting feeling of looking at all those adorable babies and happy animals. I love my goats, big and small. Even when they are underfoot, heads pushing into the grain buckets and crawling up your spine to reach. Perfect depiction of goats!!
I love this post! It's wonderful, and so are the pictures!
I think the same could be said for German Shepherds. Bless these little therapists.
:)
I totally agree:)
Awwwwww, your little kids and goats are soooo sweet! That little guy in the last picture looks like he has boots on. Sorry about the problems... wish I could wave a magic wand and make it all better. Sending you hugs.
Cute, cute pictures, Michaele! My favorite is the last one. I'd love to pet that little guy!
What a great tribute to what has become my favorite animal. I love my 4 goats. The one of yours in the last is truly adorable.
Such cuties!

That is all. :)
