The story of my day was like so:

1. We head to goat farm to procure two more goats. Two. More. Goats. Please note, however, how the world presents us with Many Goats to Choose From.

2. Lover: no I don’t really want this extra goat even though my face says oh please extra goat

3. BrotherAndrew: this goat is also excellent, did you notice?

4. Thing 1 & Thing 2: these goats so great

5. Thing 2: In fact this goat is my spirit animal she has bonded with my soul and so therefore if we leave her you ask me to roam this earth a fraction of a man is that what you really want?*

6. I think there is a goat licking Brother Andrew’s car — oh. I see it started with this side.

7. Four is the same number as two, surely.

8. Lover’s goat and SmileGoat.

9. A portrait of the author posing with the two goats she went to get in the first place.

*Thing 2 has since named his goat Ranger Danger. In case you were wondering.

Krystal Wade Are goats as addictive as chickens (which are the cutest things ever!)? We've been thinking of adding them to our "farm", but I'm worried something like this will happen to us!

Joyce So cute! When my son was little, we visited the zoo at least a couple times a month and spent a lot of time at the petting zoo where they had loads of goats. We bought goat food there and fed them, and brushed their hair with brushes provided. My son absolutely loved it there. How wonderful it must be to have goats of your own for your kids. The goats we saw at the zoo were really sweet!

Looks like Thing 1 and Thing 2 got the goats they liked. Does the person pick the goat or does the goat pick the person, I wonder. I'm pretty sure our black lab picked us.
