Goat living in the family room.

[Mousefield]

Just over 4 weeks ago, our purebred Nubian had her first babies, set of triplets. The first of 3, a girl, was very small at only 3lb 6oz. After a couple of days she got pneumonia and so my wife took her to the $vet$, had $x-rays$ and $medicine$. Then this little girl that I named Urkee, because she Urks, came to live with us in the house. The family room and kitchen have been her home for almost 4 weeks. Tomorrow she is going out to the barn. She now weights over 10 pounds and we have had her out in the pasture with the other 7 babies and four adults the past couple of days. Urkee is in for a bit of a shock :shocked: as we do not have hi-definition TV in there and no lap for her to sleep on. The vet didn't think she would make it but she is doing very well. :thumbsup: I'm happy because the wife is happy. Amazing what a bit of money and some love and nurturing will do.

Looks like a happy goat. She may require a little therapy to deal with the change.

My first impression of this thread was "Who the heck lives with a goat!" then I thought about the 4 dogs in our house and it made sense. :ashamed:

Good story with a happy ending Mouse. I think Urkee was considering nibbling on your baskets.

She house broke?

She is a smart goat. We have a cardboard box on the kitchen floor with a towel in it for the cat to sleep. When she first came into the house that is where she went to tinkle. :thumbsup: Did it there most of the time. Cat got to stay in his own room, for the most part, the past 4 weeks. So yes, she is almost house broken. :laughing::laughing:
