Casper the Friendly Goat


Welcome the new addition to our family, Casper the Friendly Goat. Yes, that's right, Bodie--our baby goat--has had a baby of her own. A little boy. He is super Cute and very energetic. He was born on Saturday May 28th at around 6:00pm.

Unfortunately, Bodie was feeling pretty poor after she gave birth. She wasn't eating and she was acting really depressed, so we called the vet. She came over and gave Bodie some "pick me up" shots, which worked really well and she was back to her normal, feisty self by the next day. YAY!

We're so proud of Bodie, she is such a great mother. We weren't sure if she would be since she didn't have a goat mother herself and since she hasn't been around other goats all that much. But, she loves her baby so much, she lets him eat (suck) and cuddle, they are sooooooooo cute together. I can't wait to take them on hikes, it's going to be so much fun!

Here's a couple more pictures!
