A Day in the Life of Pasqualina

It’s been a while since I’ve talked about our kid Pasqualina, but rest assured she’s still around, bringing us kid love in new ways each and every day.

I’m happy to report she is doing fabulously–she’s fully weaned and is eating a combination of feed designed for weaning time, barley, and, of course, fresh grasses. And she even drinks water now. So cute!

I know, yeah yeah yeah. You want photos. Enjoy!

Pasqualina out to pasture:

Peek-a-boo:

Eccola! (Here she is!)

Getting sleeeeepy (YES! Goats yawn! Who knew?):

And Pasqualina taking a little snooze before we finish our walk:

So does she look like she’s growing?

She definitely is growing! I never really paid much (any) attention to goats and can’t believe the personality that she shows. Your kid looks like one of those well groomed animals that the 4H and farm kids show at local agricultural fairs that we have here in the Fall.

Gil, I’m with you–I never thought goats could be so fun, playful, and generally really good pets. She really is a pretty one, though…even if I am biased

Your kid is so cute. She is definitely growing.

You can’t stop eating prosciutto; Pasqualina can’t stop eating period

Are goats affectionate? Does she ever butt you? Does she get along with the dogs? Just curious!

I was just saying to P that I think she’s rather affectionate for a goat, but what do I know about goats? She butts affectionately (for now!), scratches her head, and generally plays around with us and the dogs, although honestly she and the dogs aren’t together very often. Our living arrangements right now (between two houses) just haven’t made that easy to accomplish.

Aw she’s adorable. I was wondering the same things Saretta asked…

She is definately growing and just as adorable. Love the yawn picture – this strolling can be very tiring you know?

I was actually sitting down taking a rest when she plopped down…good thing we were on the same page

What do the paesani think of you when you take the kid for a walk with the dogs?

Actually we don’t all walk together. We have a little garden area now for Pasqualina, so we just walk from the house there and now I don’t use the leash with her since she’s fairly obedient

Can I come live in Calabria and help you take care of Pasqualina? Does she like to have her ears scratched affectionately?

The ears not so much (although I repeatedly try b/c gaaah! So cute!), but scratching on the sides of her neck is always welcome

Okay, the yawning goat picture made my head explode with the cute. I might have to hijack it to make it my new desktop background.

Her eyes look slightly creepy, but it’s still ridiculously cute, isn’t it? Feel free

The picture of her yawning is SO precious!

The first time she yawned I had *no* idea what she was doing…I got scared that she was having some sort of weird reaction to something! Then I figured it out when she plopped down and slept shortly thereafter
