Java is really growing strong. I am so pleased as I was worried that he wouldn't even survive the condition that his mama was in when we got her.
He still loves his tote even though he is outgrowing it. Hopefully, no not hopefully... we WILL have his outdoors pen finished this weekend and he will go out and live next to his mama like a real goat should!
I have been house bound with near pneumonia and he has been an entertaining diversion during my convalescence, but it is time for him to go outside! He is sleeping less and less and demanding more attention.
Believe it or not he is house broken... ha ha I would never have thought it was possible to housebreak a goat. We have been diligent to take him outside when he wakes and when he eats and he knows what he is supposed to "do". It is so funny. If he hadn't come so quickly after we got his mama and I hadn't gotten sick and unable to build his pen outside, we would never have learned this little known goaty secret!
Maybe someone needs a pack goat they they would like to keep in their tent without worries about accidents? I can dream right?

Nice blog you have here! I love your header picture! Little Java is TOO cute. I am so mad at the condition of that mama goat! Grrr! That really gets my goat!
I hope you are feeling better soon, too!
Thanks Pony Girl! Java and his mama Mia are doing very well. I need to update with some more pictures. Java is outside where he belongs now and is a very happy little goat!
It is hard for me to think about the people who abandoned Mia in such bad shape. When I was milking her this morning I was wondering if they ever think about her and wonder what happened to her?
