Betty

Alright...I have decided that I will try to do at least three posts to the blog in the few weeks that I have before school starts! So here it is:
This is our goat Betty. Jared and I now own two pet goats named Billy and Betty. We had been thinking about buying some goats because we have a pasture area that was just growing weeds and making a nice place for the skunks to hide and spray-attack the next unsuspecting victim. Our goats were a Craigslist finding and they were free, so we thought "what the heck"! Well long story short, the goats had been abandoned and were near starvation when we found them, but now they are happy.
Betty did have a little incident on my birthday. A stupid dog scared her and she cut her leg in an attempt to flee. Turns out we learned a few things that day #1: We have some of the BEST neighbors EVER! Special thanks to the pit crew (more pictures to come). #2: A large goat, when in pain, can nearly throw a grown man (that man being Jared). #3: It's easy to become attached to the animals you care for. We like our goats. Ya'll are welcome to come visit Billy & Betty!
