Pitter Patter of Little Feet

Woke up at crack of dawn on a Saturday to take a ride out to Cornerstone Farms Bed&Breakfast in Clarksville VA. Special visit today to pick up 4 mini goats :) October made for a really pretty drive. Spotted fields with wild turkey, the start of fall colors beginning and lots of country scenery down windy roads. 3 hours later arrived at Cornerstones dairy goat barn for my special pickup. They have lots of mini's- mini donkeys, mini-chickens - even mini-cows!Couldn't wait to get them home. They fit into the car with doggie crates, only about 25-30lbs. of adorableEasy to just pick up, like puppies...After a surprisingly quite ride home, it didn't take long for them to stretch their legs and get familiar with the new crib. Oh yeah, right down to finding and testing out any gaps in the fence already!
Yep, you hear it, thats the Pitter patter of little feet around the farm. They are really called "kids" ya'know. Hanging out with the goats the first few minutes -it was impossible to not share the happiness of this grand occasion.Btw, have you ever tried to take a picture of 4 goats at the same time on your iphone walking backwards with a container of goat treats in your hand?

Well...it results in friends making a b-line to the farm.

BFF (best farm friends) Lizzy and her hubby stopped in to say hello...it was fun to watch Dave -massive hulk of a powerlifter dude - melt like butter. With a gush of "aww how cute" - he descended to the ground to get eye level with the little ones. They are instant happiness!

The mini-herd of dwarf nigerian dairy goats consists of 3 girls, 1 boy. Their names are - Kourney, Kloe, Kim and...Lil' Wayne. (well what did you expect.. he's too short to be Lamar!)

All de-horned or dis-budded they can't fight like the real Kardashians though... ahahaha. Their names are kinda fitting since they each demand to be the center of attention. Never knew there was such thing as a "lap goat" but they are so gentle and loveable - Lil'wayne - is by far my favorite. Little man will nibble and tug at your sleeve if you stop petting him for a minute!

Here is Lizzy picking him up for a big hug...

Liz:"He likes my hair, I can hear him sniffing my hair"

Me -"aww his eyes are closing, he's totally relaxing."

Liz "oh-oh he just sighed."

Me- "I gotta catch this - he's totally passed out in your hair liz! this kids asleep"

yep tucking the little muffins into the stall tonight was hard to leave..like my own little collection of stuffed animals.

Must be off to bed now too...Tomorrow is fence enforcement 101!

and more pics to come soon. :)
