Treasure, Screaming Mimi, and Maria.

by Jon Katz
Baby Goat

We were both tempted by Screaming Mimi, the five day old baby goat Treasure brought over to show us the other day She was cute, and Maria loved holding her, but we both think we have enough animals and enough things going on in our lives. Treasure lives with her baby goats, sometimes even sleeps with them (in diapers) at night. Some are bottle fed, which means they can obsessively attach to people.

They easily jump fences, eat gardens and all kinds of things you may not wish then to eat. Bottle fed goats, in my experience, don’t have independent lives like donkeys or a pony or sheep, For Maria and I that is important. We need some space, so do our animals.

But it is fun to watch Treasure with her babies, she loves every one and delights in everything they do. She is going to join me soon in an appearance at the Mansion with Screaming Mimi.
