The other day I brought down my camera to my goats pen when I fed them, but didn't realize it only had 5 minutes worth of batteries left... I managed to get a few snapshots that I think are kind of cute. If any of you remember my "Shanti" thread, these are his buddies, and the brown one is his brother. Both of them are lost without him, so I have been spending extra time with them, and letting them out of their pen to graze for longer than usual, which they don't object to one bit ;)

Pace, being nosy. I wish my legs weren't in the pictures, but I like his expression

Haha, goats are certainly curious and often explore with their mouths... Mine never chew on my fingers or clothes because I trained them not to. They are really clever little creatures, and after a few gentle smacks on their noses, they learned not to be annoying... however, their natural curiosity leads them to nibble at anything hanging loosely. Lol I can't tell you how many times they have tugged on my ipod's headphones, untied my shoelaces, unzipped my jackets, and last week Pace saw my necklace dangling temptingly when I bent over to pet him... and yep, he quickly grabbed it and tugged. It was wooden and on a leather string, so the string broke and he ate the wooden peace sign... I think it's funny because his name means "peace" in Italian. I sadly watched as my birthday present was crunched away by my naughty little goat :rolleyes:
