Catching you up on the Goaties - Marvelous Mishka



More like Mischief, Messy and My Big Baby!

Mishka is having a great time standing on the hay bales feeding herself. I let her come into the feed room to eat by herself because the other older goats bully her at the feeders and will not let her have a turn. It is hard to believe the length of her locks and if this weather would ever straighten out I will be cutting them soon. I also have to report that the horn that was damaged by Esmerelda awhile ago snapped off while trying to play with the boys (really I think they where just getting to be too horny for her). Luckly, no blood and it was a clean break but now she is glued to my leg even more then in past times if that was possible...

She is such a sweet girl but very needy - I think if she had her way she would still live in the house and sleep in my bed. NO that is not happening but she asks everyday. I admit I do baby her but isn't that what a mother is for???

That is so cute...I would let her in the bed..how could you not?! I used to put my bunnies in bed with me if they were not feeling well...

Oh, my goodness! She's such a big fur ball! Very cute :) When it will finally start getting warmer I'm sure she'll be very glad to be rid of her fur.

She is very tickleish so getting her to hold still is a whole nother store. I never like to put them in restraints or tie them so I work with them slowly to gain trust and to let them feel like they have control over the process. I admit it is slow but building a relationship is more important.
