Welcome Petunia and Esther!


  • Goats may cry, and cry, and cry all the way home, making you sound like a kidnapper. 
  • Once home, goats may cry every time you leave their sight, making you seriously consider sleeping in the barn.
  • Goats can be quite cuddly, particularly if you've left their sight and returned. 
  • Goats may decide to go exploring early in the morning, and if they are locked in their house, they will be creative problem solvers. 
  • Chickens don't like having their house taken over by goats.
  • Goats like chicken food.
  • Goats that are very friendly quite get in the way of any repairs or construction projects as they, like the pig, insist in being right up close to what you're doing. 
  • Everyone's afraid of the pig. 
  • The pig approaches everyone with the same indifference in his never ending quest for more food. 
  • Goats like 45lb puppies better than 15lb pigs, with much staring and barking and snorting.
  • Giant puppies recovering from major surgery are very excited about goats and will be even more excited about goats when they make the connection between the magic black beans everywhere and the bean producers. 
  • Wooden doors between sections of barn are no match for goats, I'm hoping glass doors to my house fair better. 
  • Goats, pig, and puppy all like to follow their farmer around, but chickens like to go the opposite way and avoid the fuss. 
  • Everyone loves food. 
  • There is always more work to be done on the farm, even a farm this small. 
  • Always get a puppy last, after the chickens and goats and pig are settled in, so the puppy will think all this farm business is normal and will start off slower and smaller than most of the otehr animals.
