    Preparing for goats

    Making a goat sleeping area. Noting fancy. Just have to finish the swinging wall. Made for cleaning the area out when needed.

    They're Nigerian dwarf goats.

    This type is more of a pet than anything. They dont really eat everything. They're not good for much but I'll tell you what, push comes to shove, I'll eat 'em.

    Mrs Inor was talking about getting some of those for milk. She did some research and apparently they give about a quart per day, per goat. I told her it was goats or donkeys, but not both. Since donkeys are even more useless, we now have those.

    I'll take comfort in that. HN and the kids talked about getting goats and I agreed we could discuss it. Next thing I knew the goats were on there way.

    Welcome to married life!

    My line with Mrs Inor was something to the effect of: "I won't help you get a donkey, but if one showed up I won't divorce you over it either." So now we have two... Go figure.

    I already told HN her and kids get some goats, I get a new gun. They got two goats so I suppose I get two guns.

    Don't try to milk male goats. The goats will love it but it won't turn out well at all!

    I was going to say something and you beat me to it
    It happened before, it can happen again.
    It happened there, it can happen here.
    It happened to that person, it can happen to you.
