That title should bring some crazy people from Google search. LOL William wanted me to get pictures of this but I never grabbed the camera in my rush to do what was being demanded of me.
ViVi had me trained well for the past few days. Newborn kids have a very sticky poop for a couple days. Usually the momma goat takes care of the cleaning when needed... not ViVi! She stands under the baby monitor( I have out there to keep check on the pregnant goats) and cries like something is terribly wrong. I run out only to have her look at me and nudge Willow's butt, then look at me again. I had to use baby wipes and clean Willows butt 4 or 5 times a day. A couple times it was a sticky mess all the way down his leg. It was really getting old and I tried telling ViVi she was suppose to be doing this but it didn't sink in. Yesterday while milking ViVi I saw Willow go potty and it was normal goat poop! I was so happy! Now I am waiting to see if BossyToes and Blinkin paid attention and will demand the same thing with their babies. In case you are wondering. It doesn't take but a couple tries for a goat to train a human.

That is hilarious..... Vivi has done an excellent job training her person... lol
I can just hear the talk around the goat yard if you don't automatically do the same for all the goats when they deliver...
"You know it is nice to have a person, but did you notice they are a little slow in the head." "Oh yes, I noticed that right away." "Vivi got her trained and just a short time later, well she forgot everything she learned." "Vivi is going to be very disappointed in our person." "I know, she was so proud of how quickly our person learned." "Who would have thought a person would have to be retrained every darn time." "Oh Well, you have to love her, she keeps trying!"
Have a great week sweety.
I reached in the fridge this morning and in my hurry to get things done a whole dozen eggs feel on the floor. GRRRRRRRRRR!! So when I read your post I needed the laugh. The pictures with their captions are wonderful. Still say you should write a book and put the pictures in. Have a good day!!

That's so funny!!!
We have five very large indoor dogs and the things I have to clean up make me wonder who's the boss sometimes too!!!
Ain't she a smart goat, now? Thank goodness humans aren't expected to lick off our newborn's butts.
Thank goodness for baby wipes.
Been there done that.
Since I work full time and run my country decor store, I am gone 6 days a week from morning until almost 8pm.
When our Nannys start kidding, it is a zoo around here. About half keep their kids as clean as a whistle. But the other half....argh...
Sometimes that yellow "stuff" is dried like concrete! I take the babes to the mop sink and wash their little hineys. When mama bleeps at me, I just tell her it's all her fault!
