I added three African Pygmy goats to my little farm yesterday! I still can't believe I did it but I've been wanting goats ever since I moved to the country and now I've finally taken the plunge. A black two-year old wether named Lucky Charm (goofy name, but apparently he nearly died at birth and then his mother rejected him and he had to be bottle raised, and nobody could believe he survived, hence the name...), a black two-year old doe named Trinket (L.C.'s sister) and a brown three-month old doeling who I need to name. She's just called "Brownie" for now, need to get to know her before I decide on a name (I just brought them home yesterday evening!!).
L.C. is super friendly and sweet and trusting -- the girls are a bit nervous but that's totally understandable, I'm sure they will settle in fine in a few days.

The good news is, Camille the Christmas Kitten is almost recovered! Finally! There's a lot of blank in between I need to fill in. But she's eating canned food and kibble now, I'm weaning her off her propulsid, if all goes well I should be able to pull her PEG tube and start integrating her into the household at large in the next few weeks!
Side note, she trotted out of her room this morning and nearly into the living room, suddenly froze and panicked when she saw all the cats looking at her. Heh. Good thing the dogs were outside!
