Update on NIFTY (the stray goat)

[ginger]

She has a happy goat family now! LOOK!

You can tell how thin she is though. Hope her little hooves heal quickly and they can fatten her up!

There's a slight possibility she's pregnant....which would make sense why she was probably abandoned.

Now what fucker abandons a goat in a SUBURBAN NEIGHBORHOOD, I will never understand. Ever.

Aw, Nifty! I hope she fattens up soon. And OMG SQUEE at the possibility of little goat babies!

[lilibet]

Aw, hi Nifty!!

Poor baby But I'm so glad she found nice people to help her and she has a goat family now.

[karmasabiotch]

Dammit, one day I WILL have goats! I'm so happy for Nifty.

Are you sure she was abandoned? Goats are clever fuckers and good climbers. It's possible she belongs to someone nearby and escaped, right?

Anyway, I'm happy she's happy and being well cared for!

She'd been in our neighborhood for a couple of nights.

I originally thought she was just lost, but the only one "farm" close by hadn't lost her. 

Match that with her badly damaged hooves and how thin she is, it seems less and less likely.

We also stayed outside all afternoon watching for anyone possibly looking for a lost animal, and not a thing.

I've got my friends on Facebook still looking though just in case. They are sharing her picture. We've found dog's owners this way, so we figure it couldn't hurt.

Oh! I just thought I should post on Craigslist or see if anyone posted there.

Appear to be, but they were prepared to let the goat hang with the roosters until they adapted.

I love that they know what they are doing!

It would be very unlikely that she could be pregnant. Goats are short day breeders which means they only ovulate when the days become shorter. Typically Sept to Nov. They only have a 5 month gestation.

I would looove to get more goats! Im glad you took her in.

[zzuvet]

Right? So smart. I did it twice, that was poor planning.

I love Nifty.
