Tinker Bell says Hello on this beautiful Fall day!!

Tinkerbell is ONE!! We celebrated her birthday with special goodies. Lots of hugs and kisses! She loves hanging out with her Great Pryenees siblings and little Sasha, our 6 month old baby goat. Tinkerbell believes that she is a guard dog and runs with the dogs when they chase after hawks or any other predators. She can still “happy hop” and does so down the driveway when we arrive home. So excited to see us! We love her dearly.

Somebody doesn’t play nice when others want mommy to pet them. She’s very territorial with mommy so we had to resort to this for their protection! 🤣🤣

Tinkerbell is 8 months old!!! Her growing has slowed so she is still petite. I can still carry her. She is going thru her first heat.

We sold all of our other goats but one so that Tink would have a buddy. Sadly, her buddy passed away a week after kidding. She developed bloat and despite our efforts and our wonderful vet, we could not save her. She was older so that may have contributed to the outcome.

We had just gotten Tink fully weaned the 1st week of February (yes, I let her have her bottle for a long time). By February 29th, we began raising another (Sasha). Sasha has done really well. She was born a normal weight and is growing well. She will surpass Tink in size before too long. Tink and Sasha have bonded and where you see one, you see the other. I had hoped they would. Both look to us as their parents 😂. So affectionate!!! In fact when we sit outside on a nice afternoon/evening they both will lay at our feet. They are loved!

I apologize for the long delay in posting. Tinkerbell is doing great!!!! However, she is incredibly spoiled and I fear she does not realize she is a goat.

Weaning her from the bottle has been difficult but we are down to only 2 a day. She eats grain and hay as well but insists on her bottle. She has yet to spend a night outside. If she is outside and it is dark, she screams at the door to be let in. She stays in our large mudroom/back entry. She is pretty much potty trained (never thought I could accomplish that with a goat). She does not like snow and refuses to walk on it so goes underneath a covered area outside the door to potty then shoots back inside.

When you arrive home, she is always so happy to see you. She runs and hops and twists down the driveway to the gate. She will follow you everywhere you go outside (as long as there isn’t any snow). She knows her name and comes when called. More obedient than many dogs.

She is still a little small for her age but that is ok. She’s a little fatty though. She does not like to be left alone. If someone leaves and she is inside, someone must appear to her and show her they are still there or she screams. She loves to assist me with laundry and frequently hops into the dryer.

She loves her hugs and kisses and we are looking forward to warmer weather and more walks.

This week I am 8 weeks old!!!! I am starting to eat some grain and sweet feed but I love my bottle. I will still need it for another month anyway. Today one of my favorite people came to see me! Little Joslin!! She told me I was her favorite goat.

Look who is 7 weeks old today!!! We are not wanting to be weaned just yet. We do not like cold weather and we do not like rain. I’m spoiled rotten and mom wonders if I will ever act like a real goat. My little horns are coming in. I am growing but am still quite small for my age. I wear size 0-3 in diapers and onesies.

Today Tinker Bell attended her first cookout! She delighted all the children who attended as well as the adults! Then off to see our youngest granddaughter who stated that Tinker Bell was her favorite goat.
