.....your best friend poops on you!!!
Poor O'Malley was found waddling (yes, she has that pregnant waddle) around the goat yard yesterday with a pile of goat berries on her back. It's bad enough that Missy and Myrtle butt her with their heads whenever she gets near their kids. And now THIS!! O'Malley is the stiffest of our fainting goats....she is always just a hair away from falling over. She is the sweetest gal, and one of our favorites. She will be heading for the maternity ward in a number of weeks with at least two kids onboard. The funny thing is....as slow as O'Malley is, her kids are the opposite. On ultrasound, they were bouncing all over inside her uterus. We are so excited for her to give birth. The father is our dear departed MoJo. He was the sweetest goat ever and so is she. Hopefully her kids are as personable as their parents!
In case you are wondering how O'Malley got pooped on...... we guess it happened inside the little house that she shares with Sissy. We think that Sissy stood up and dropped these goat berries right on the back of O'Malley, who was undoubtedly lying there beside her. Talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time... Poor O'Malley!!

Happily I can report that MoJo and O'Malley were seen "dating" this week. Their courtship consisted of a few games of tag, after which O'Malley teasingly called "You're it!" and MoJo willingly obliged. The act was observed to be a bit awkward,...
