I wanna go to a goat farm now! What a great guy you are for feeding her goat-fetish. That last line sounded wrong. ---

My next door neighbor just borrowed a bale of hay for his fainting goats. They are very cute, and the two kids weren’t happy when I helped him tag their ears a couple weeks ago. StG ---

We’ve been thinking about getting a couple of goats. We have a goodly amount of poison ivy around the perimeter of the property. I seem to be immune, but my kids and wife aren’t, as it turns out. I hear goats eat the stuff. And we’ve already decided that they’d be named Larry. ---

I have a coworker who has a couple acres and has goats, donkeys and a mini horse. Another coworker and I will be visiting his farm and going with him to pick up his new baby llama! I’m excited, Llama day is Friday. I will suggest Edward for a name. ---

That’s a stray Industrial Strength Bra Strap. ETA: It looks folded up because the straps were too long to be adjusted properly, so she doubled them over and sewed them. Kinda like a bra sheepshank. ---

Goats are cheap. Buy a youngish meat breed goat, enjoy it for the evening, then serve it the following evening. ---

This is one of the all-time original cute-overload threads. You’re an excellent fiance, **Soul** , **SoulMate** is indeed cute, and all the goats were adorable. (And don’t think for a moment that I didn’t notice your cutie, **Auntbeast**. She’s just as adorable as you’ve described. Love the drill pictures. And the menagerie. ---
