Thanks for the story! Yes, (in my extremely limited experience) goats do seem to have a thing about finding what's hidden by a skirt, but I'm thinking they're really looking for treats. :) Don't wear big buttons. They think they're candy. :)

plllog buttons, mittens, anything they can. LOL I've never really minded though ;) We had a pig that one bit the drawstring button right off my coat. I thought the thing was going to choke. Finally I got her to spit it out and it was chewed to pieces.

Malna, how in the heck did you not have goat poop everywhere? LOL
Great story, thanks for sharing.

Cute story. It reminds me of a Golden Book story for children published in the fifties about a goat who ended up with a straw hat stuck on its head. Does anyone recall the title of the story?

Told ya, she was a dog. She was housebroken. Really - she NEVER messed in the house. Our housebroken rabbit Merlin was OK by me (he used the cat litter box), but Tom (yes, a turkey) never got the hang of it so I reluctantly banished him (he slept in the garage at night). Tom also liked to go for a ride to the grocery store. Sigh, I miss the zoo. So many hilarious memories!

Happy2b..gw I tried to google and all I came up with was a story about a straw hat wearing dog.

Malna, that is seriously amazing. I always thought that while goats are like camels and control their urine they cannot control their poop. That's it, my goats better start pooping all in one spot and save me some work. LOL

littlemonkeys3 Thanks for looking it up.

All you goat owners are making me jealous.

Little, your goats are so playful and curious. You were dressed differently, and they had to know all about it.

I tried to find the book too, and all I came up with is The Three Billy Goats Gruff.

As Nanny was the only goat I've ever had the joy of living with and sleeping with on occasion - that was interesting with DH, me, maybe a goat, maybe a dog, maybe a cat, maybe a rabbit and Lord knows what other pet would show up trying to snuggle with us in a double bed - I don't know what's normal for animals in general, I guess LOL. Yep, those were our "children". Unique - each and every one of them!

Socks, I treat my livestock like pets, even though we eat them (sorry people). So they tend to be super friendly. I have one sheep who will paw at me and paw at me for affection. If one of the youngest lambs comes over to me she will get super jealous. Her father was the best ram ever though. He was just like a dog, loved that guy.

Malna, we're pretty awful with names as well we have a Lamby, Little Goat, and Mama. Haha Then some have people names and then there's a Star Wars character names and now it seems we're on a food name trend. LOL I can completely understand how you feel about the animals I'm like that too. I do tend to like them better than most people. My dh is very patient with me, that's all I will say. lol

Happy2B, was it one of the Billy Whiskers series?

littlemonkeys, I too, talk to our cows. Especially the replacement heifer calves we keep in the corrals over the winter. Some get names, some don't. Sometimes they get yelled at, other times cooed over. People who believe that animals are dumb or have no feelings have never had to work, play or live with them. They are the perfect stress relievers!

From the title, I thought "oh, good heavens, no!" And for your sake, I am glad it wasn't the kind I thought you meant! Thanks for sharing your story. :)

Little, sounds like a perfect day at the funny farm, even including the "upskirting" issues. Goats are so smart and have given me many happy memories from childhood. I loved to put clothes on Snow White and she never seemed to mind. My big brothers' jeans fit her perfectly.☺

Thanks to you and everyone for sharing your goat adventures. ☺

TulsaRose, OK We have a female goat that I had to cut the bum out of some old pants because her teats were in bad shape from having 3 babies going at her and her allowing them to nurse 24-7. She had twins and then adopted 1 of the other goat's babies. Poor gal. Seeing her in the pants was so funny though. One was an old pair of the kids' long johns. Super funny.

Little, clever idea. If the situation ever comes up again, try boxer shorts with the fly closed until nursing time. ☺

Tulsa, the little ones can stick their noses right up the boxer, even boxer briefs have too large of an opening. The leg sizes on children's clothing is perfect, loose but not so big they can get at it. Hopefully this issue never comes up again. What an ordeal. I can't even tell you how much polysporin, tea tree oil, and coconut oil we went through. Then there's the occasional garlic dip too. LOL

Little, did you ever use Bag Balm? Seems like there was a green can of that in the barn and one in the kitchen. I can remember my parents using it for the cow and goats. Ah, what memories. Too bad we didn't have a camera back in the good ol' days. There were cameras...we just couldn't afford one. ☺

I use coconut oil like someone would use bag balm, but I'm not milking the goats right now. I usually keep the babies with the mama's until they wean. We don't get much milk that way, but the babies are healthier.
