Tiny Visitor

Our friend Andrea delivers us beautiful fresh eggs from her farm every Thursday. Today she arrived with a little "pocket" friend. This teeny little fellow was number three in the bunch delivered by a miniature goat. Two seemed to be all the mom could handle so she head-butted this little guy out into the cold.... dark...night. I know! Worse than Bambi's story.

So Andrea packed him up in a shoe box, set him up by the fire place with her hair dryer set on low and aimed straight at him. He snuggled up to a toy horse place in his box for company and he's been a going concern his whole life! Of exactly two days. Andrea's been carrying him and his bottle around in the pocket of her down jacket. I got to snuggle him under my chin for a few minutes while they were here. Never seen anything cuter. He's the size of a kitten.  A mini miniature!

Beautiful
Brings back memories of our farm although we were not lucky at having minature baby goats. Sounds like everything is going just great for you both. How is Doug's hand healing. It doesn't seem like it is keeping him down very much. I love your Dodge "RAM". Wish we had one, it just sounds so big and strong.

Yes, this is a truck-man's truck. Ya might say a he-man's truck.
