This week we got two goats. Two cute little pygmy goats. Their names are Petunia and Flower. And they are just so cute. Petunia is white with the tiniest little horns on top of her head, and Flower is a dirty blonde with dark markings around her face and hooves.
Originally, their names were going to be Diamond and Buttons (because Leah wanted a name with “butt” in it.). However, Lucy was wearing a flower necklace the day the goats were dropped off and she changed her name from Diamond to Flower; so Leah decided she didn’t want to use the name Buttons (because let’s face it, it doesn’t really use the word “butt”). I offered a few suggestions, but of course, I’m boring old mom and have no clue what I am doing. But I won them over with the name Petunia when I turned on the catchy little kids’ tune “My Petunia.” If you have no clue what I am talking about, take 3 minutes of your life, find it on the YouTube and then you might want to buy a puppy and name her Petunia, or simply, your day will be just a little bit brighter. You are welcome.
What does this have to do with the reason why I have so many kids? Nothing. But baby goats are called “kids” and I thought I might use them to tell you about my Mother’s Day card from Lilly. She will tell you why [she thinks] I have so many kids. In her card, she wrote “I love you because you make me smile. I love every meal you make to fill my body. You have babies so I have people to play with. I love you.” There you have it. The first born thinks all this is for her. Typical.
Anyways, if you need a goat to hug, come on over.
Enjoy your day!
