Pygmy Goat Babies

Hi all, please ignore my floor we are in the middle of a re-do and good thing or I wouldn't be able to have these goat babies in the house. Our kitchen is attached to the living room so they can wander back and forth. Guess what else? Little Diego my recent Chihuahua rescue,  no more then a pup himself is taking care of them. Licking them, cleaning them,and herding them around. See pics....brought tears to my eyes - how sweet is he? It is like I saved him so now he is helping to save the goats!! Awwww. Remember these babies are tiny and smaller then a Chihuahua - also they all look the same so I have to take one out of the tote, feed it and then put it on the floor and pick up the next one!! We are milking one of the mothers who didn't want her babies and adding whole milk to that. Two days in and all are doing well and trying out their legs as they hop around the house with Diego and the rest of the gang.

Awww. How absolutely adorable. I never knew baby goats could be so little, even pygmys.

Oh how sweet they are. And that Diego is a doll.
How fun for all of you! A lot of work though, eh?
They are so cute.
I am so glad they are doing well.
Continued healthy thoughts and strength to take care of the menagerie ;-D

Oh Donna! They are so dang cute!!! I always wanted a goat and a lamb and some chickens. The picture of that little guy snoozing in front of the bookcase!!! You would have to be the meanest person in the world not to think that's cute.
I noticed The Mists of Avalon...one of my top 10 books...
Diego is a mama's dream, isn't he?
