I really don't know much about goats but if I lived in the country, I would love to have some. Not going to happen as I am not about to move. But it is something I think about. But I did know goats were friendly as when I was in my twenties a friend had one as a pet. That thing would follow you around more than a dog would and wanted to get in your lap. Loved people.

Joy, those babies are adorable. Yes, baby goats sure are cute!

Possibility of a dusting of snow here later tonight. I am not a fan of snow so it can just stay away as far as I am concerned.

Watching the news coverage of the last minute shoppers at the local malls here on Long Island. I don't know how anyone can deal with the stress of leaving getting their presents till this late.

Merry Christmas to all! May the new year be peaceful and prosperous.

Everything was just gorgeous this morning; covered with hoarfrost. Then the sun came out and made it look like a fairyland. Green Grin!

We are under winter a winter storm warning and expected 10-12 inches of snow. Yeck, I hate snow and really hate it when we get a lot of snow.

Yesterday I watched TV all day. I watched a really great show on Nat Geo Wold Channel called Dr Pol. It is about this country vet. They follow him and his staff as they treat animals. He has office hours and then he does farm calls. So I found all the farm calls really interesting.

There seems to be a lot of dairy farms there in the area as cows were treated a lot. Lots of times to deliver a calf where things were going wrong. other times on stomach issues with the cows. I saw many calves getting delivered and I learned about cow guts and stomachs. Hilarious!

Reality of raising and caring for a dairy herd of cows looks nothing like my fantasy of farm life. Things go wrong, calves don't just pop out, vet has to deliver often dead calf or calves. Crying

Too bad I can't watch that, Natl. Geo Wild isn't on our DISH plan. I have seen it, tho, at someone else's place. Yup, vet work can be bloody and depressing.
