A Pet Minichu

My lovely nanny goat
an unusual gift for my thirteenth birthday
shiny coat

Dad would milk her 
I’d carry all the milk away
White fur

Cute pet
Loved to eat hay
wet

My lovely nanny goat
I’d carry all the milk away
Wet

*a true story I had a nanny goat 'Susie' for my 13th birthday, when we purchased her she was in kid and once the kids had been weaned we used to milk her twice every day. Her favourite food was very ripe bananas!

Caren Krutsinger Date: 4/16/2021 10:36:00 AM I love the look of this goat; I imagine she lived to a ripe old age? Did she butt anyone? Just had to ask. Lovely Jan! Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 4/18/2021 6:38:00 PM She lived to a grand age and yes she did headbutt someone who broke into her shed - we think he was trying to steal her or one of her kids - we heard frantic bleating and then saw this young guy running lol:-) hugs jan xx

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 4/16/2021 9:20:00 AM Again a co-incidence I have written a poem about a goat but have not posted it, was not for a contest but after reading this lovely write, I might still post it. I enjoy goats, such loving animals, the villages in Greece have many goats and a roast goat on the spit (shame I'm sorry) is delicious! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Alexis Y. Date: 4/15/2021 6:29:00 PM Hi Jan, I enjoyed your poem about your pet goat. I liked it even more when I read that it was a true story. I've had a pet cat, dog, and a roster( chickens) growing up. But not a goat which I think would have been cool, by the way. Best wishes for the contest. Have a wonderful evening:-) Alexis Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 4/18/2021 6:30:00 PM we had a small holding when I grew up with chickens, pigs nd i asked for a goat and got Susie for my 13th birthday:-) hugs Jan xx
