A GOAT COMES TO SCHOOL







This was awesome! Our kindergarten teacher brought in a baby goat for her class to learn the letter Q. Because he was born a quintuplet. She brought him in in a bucket. At first when I saw the top of his head I jumped back thinking she had a skunk in the box. Then when she set him down Oh MY! He was the cutest thing you ever wanted to see. He loved on ya, and when you put him on the ground, and the kids ran, he leaped and ran with them. The funniest part was when he cried, he sounded like one of those squeeky toys that you give a baby and mash on it, it almost didn't sound real. I honestly had to ask if it really was making that noise it sounded so much like a toy.

She said the momma couldn't feed them all so he was being bottle fed and that makes them more gentle. He was about the size of small cat. When they took him outside, they put a shirt on him to keep him warm and he knew to wait to pee. It was so cool. If we didn't have Covenants and Restrictions in our subdivision, I would have one of these for sure. But I don't know what I would name him. Maybe Boots or Patches! See what happens when you move to the mountains!
