Midget goats

I can certainly figure out loads of things why I love my bf like I do. I can also think of loads of reasons why I love my friends like I do. I just tend to wonder why is it that people love me like they show me they do. We don't usually see what makes us so especial for other. But I think that's the great thing about feelings: they just can't be explained, just felt :)

Today I received this picture in my cell, and I thought it'd be nice to share because I know that there are many animal lovers between my friends. So my brother-in-law sent me this picture of my niece Leire and my nephew Xabier with the newborn midget goats. Yeah, they live in this great house with loads of land around with fruit trees, so they have loads of animals as well: dogs, cats, horses, bunnies and some three years ago they acquired a couple of midget goats :D

They don't work the land, and it was a lot of work to keep it free from bush, brambles and stuff. So they got the goats, who do an excellent job. They built a nice barn for them, and while they are on the land by day, they seek for shelter in the early evening. There they have fodder and comfy straw beds. So being well kept and healthy, they started to naturally reproduce. So far they have some 40 of them. They are eatable but they wouldn't eat them, so they just keep one male and give all of the males and most of the females away.

Midget goats breed twice a year. And if the midget goats are beautiful, the newborn ones are just amazing. So tiny and so perfect. And with good lungs and really bad temper, let me tell you. You can't see their temper, but here are some pictures for you to judge. Are they lovely or what? :)
