Our Goat Sweet & Spicy

We thought we'd share a sweet photo with you of our goat Sweet & Spicy and our cat Toby. Spicy is due to have kids soon and I think she is practicing being a mom. The cat and goat have been bunking together and Toby even sleeps on top of her curled up.

National Don't Cry Over Spilled Milk Day

Don't cry over spilled milk day is February 11. 

In honor of National Don’t Cry Over Spilled Milk Day I'll tell you about our goat Bess AKA “the back breaker”.

She made it her mission in life to spill milk. She would sit on the bucket, try to kick the bucket and simply made milking miserable for both of us.

She spilled many buckets of milk in her lifetime. We finally came to an understanding. If I milked fast enough she wouldn't spill the milk. If I was one second beyond her allotted time there went the bucket.

She trained me well. I learned exactly how long I had to milk and got quite good at removing the bucket at the perfect time before she spilled the milk!

So here’s to a happy “don’t cry over spilled milk day”!
