Introducing Carmelina: Another Kid Joins the Herd

Today should rightfully be a Going Green post according to my schedule, but I’m under several deadlines and simply couldn’t do the planned topic of water conservation justice this week, so please try to suffer through these adorable photos of Carmelina, our newest kid, instead.

Yes, we have a new girl around here, this one via a friend of P’s who couldn’t keep her. Lucky us!

And in an interesting turn of events, the guy who originally had Carmelina (before P’s friend) seems to think she may already be carrying a new little kid or two. We have to get a blood test from the veterinarian to find out, but fingers crossed that there will be kids in a few months! Yay!

All the girls are getting along swimmingly and can often be found playing around and being silly with one another. I tried to get some video of their hijinks but my camera is acting up, jumping around, losing color, generally being disagreeable. I’ll keep trying though because it really is adorable to watch.

See more photos of the girls (and some other fun shots of our tomatoes, figs, grapes, a lone pomegranate that couldn’t, and more!) on my Flickr page–and feel free to friend me if you’ve got a Flickr account! That way you can always keep up with my latest photos, and I can keep an eye on yours as well.

Ah, and if you’re still in a goatish mood, check out this goat and dog pair that were wandering around Norristown, PA together (thanks Megan!). Too cute!

Buon weekend!

   How long before you have some photos of cheese? The goats are beautiful!

   Thanks Gil! Hopefully as soon as possible on the cheese. *Very* excited for that

   Adorable!

   Thanks Megan! Great to “see” you

   I think when the two mums said, “I’d love to see you have some kids” this is not what they meant, Michelle.

   Well let this be a lesson to them to be more specific in their requests! Maaaaaa!

   Last week we were driving and had to make a stop for some goats crossing the road… I immediately thought of you and the girls! Congrats on the newest addition!

   I am sooooo jealous! Not one, but three goats! But I’m blown away that there was a goat roaming around Norristown. A dog I could see, a goat no.

   I know! How weird is that! Cute little thing too, that kid in Norristown….

   Because I’m interested in such random things, and because I haz teh interwebs, I just learned that another name for a group of goats is a “trip” or a “tribe:”

   http://www.thealmightyguru.com/Pointless/AnimalGroups.html

   Trippy, right?

   And because we are freakily similar in some ways, I had actually looked that up before titling this post and found that exact article. Tribey, no?

    I always said if I had a kid I’d name her carmelina…so cute!

    Oh that’s too funny! P picked the name, and I love it because it recalls my hometown area of Mount Carmel in PA

    I too was thinking Sound of Music…..although with all of those goats you can’t possibly be lonely!
    Too adorable.

    Between dogs and kids, nope, lonely is not an issue

    Cool post! I’m currently in Montana, USA, and, with bionoculars, can see wild baby mountain goats on the high rock ledges, jumping around and being silly just as you described!

    Lucky you, Paul! They’re so fun to watch

17. Tumblemoose on 18 Jul 2009 at 7:56 pm #

    Michelle,
