Walking the Goats..


Xochi and I have been taking Dotty and Arthur on daily walks to the park.  
We have made so many friends...goats are real ice-breakers!

I wish I had my camera today when I went with the goats up to the park to pick Xochi up from her art class.  There was a basketball camp going on and all of the kids were on a lunch break.  They couldn't believe our little mobile petting zoo.  They were holding Arthur, petting Dotty and calling all of their friends over to see.  The coaches were just as excited.  They assured me that they would all be there on Thursday at the same time, so I will be sure to take some pictures of our time at the park.

Xochi is so proud of her pets and loves to hand over Arthur's leash to all of her little friends that she meets.  He loves to play with them.

Our Goats in the Performing Arts!!!

Arthur and Dotty were cast in a movie that I am making with some of my students!  We begin filming on Thursday, and I will be sure to post the film when it is finished in 2 weeks. 
My songwriting student, Ariana, has composed a song about goats which will be sure to be featured on the blog as soon as we get it on tape (tomorrow!)  It's Awsome.

Progress on the Goat Palace:

My parents came over today and made a super spiffy gate for the goats.  They also finished the walls, so now he just needs to put up some trim and then we can paint it and call it a palace!!

Dotty has a different relationship with roses than Arthur.  Arthur likes to pose with them, she thinks they are yummy! Coming soon...

"ME, THE SUBURBAN MILKMAID...trials and triumphs!"  And how milking a dwarf goat is kind of like milking a cat.
