Cuteness and Lights...

Some photos from the local county fair...
(the baby goats were my most favorite... a guy was selling them for $50 each and it was so tempting to take one home)

Yeah goats are real cute until you have to come home from a hard day's work only to find that most of them have their heads stuck in the fence for the one hundreth time because apparantly goats are the only species on Earth who are incapable of learning. Stick head through fence, get stuck, must stay in the hot Texas sun all day with my head stuck in fence.

So there you are, straddling this goat getting your knuckles all cut up on the barb wire trying to get this devil beast's head unstuck, only to be bit on the ass by another one, which you just got out of the fence!

Then you get them all unstuck and for some reason they now think you are going to feed them, so they start ramming their devil horns into your legs, like that is really gonna make me want to feed them, but they do it anyway.

Or maybe they get their leg broke because they think they are bigger than the bull, so you have to take them to the vet and get a cast put on their leg, and then carry them around for six weeks while it's healing.

Then there is the ten acres that is not enough for them, so they stick their head through the dog's fence, getting it stuck of course, and the dog latching onto their face, so you have to take them to the vet and give them a shot of antibotics everyday for two weeks, while trying to escape their sexual advances, because for whatever reason, I have still not figured out, they seem to get turned on by you caring for their wounds.

Then they have babies, which are so cute, and the reason you got goats in the first place, and the coyotes start eating them, and the pain of burying the remains of another one is just too much, so you sit up on the roof all night with a rifle to protect them knowing when the sun comes up you gotta go to work. And when the sun does come up, you see all your sweet little goats, which you would feel much better about if all of their heads were not stuck in the fence!

But yes goats are just so cute.
