Monday June 11

These little goats sure are cute.
And they sure have their own little personalities!!!
Hulk (or Kiwi, which Elsie likes to call him :) is kinda goofy!
He is always hopping and jumping around.
But he doesn't like to be too far from his brother Thor.

Thor is pretty mellow so far.
He seems to be more observant of what if going on.
He always seems to be thinking.
I have to say....I find it quite funny.
Madi seems to be drawn to Hulk, who has a personality more like Cassi.

And Cassi says that Thor is her favorite....and his personality is more like what Madi is like.
Such silly girls.
*****
Elsie just absolutely LOVES both of them.
Like I said....she calls Hulk, Kiwi.
Which is fine.
We told her we could name him Hulk Kiwi Matthews and she can call him by his middle name just like we do when we call her Rose :)
We made a little fence pen for them to run around in the grass, since we don't yet have a door for them on the barn.
Elsie sat in the pen with them for quite a long time this morning.
It is pretty cute :)
They are eating great....that makes me very happy.
*****
Port was on and off today.
He does have a bright red throat with little blisters all down it.
He hasn't eaten much today.
Just milk, yogurt and applesauce.
The top of his feet are starting to get blisters/rashes.....and I find myself finding little spots all over his body.
Maybe I am just paranoid though, and they aren't really a rash :)
Anyway...he seems to be getting his energy back.
He isn't talking much, cause it hurts.
But he seems to be hitting more to get attention....so we need to get over that.
I am sure it will be over soon......and I hope none of the others get it.
I REALLY hope none of my family that we were with gets anything.....so sorry guys!!!
