On March 26, 1998, I brought home little Mac & Tosh when they were 4 weeks old. Since they are a pair, and my family members are Macintosh users, Mac and Tosh were perfect names. At that time they drank 4 bottles of milk each day and required constant attention. Tosh could leap over 5 ft high fences, and Mac would put everything in his mouth. Luckily school was almost out, so I was able to be outside with them all day. They were BIG babies, but they were so adorable!
Now they are almost 4 years old, and more mature, but still a lot of fun. They love laying around all day, and eating everything that blows into their reach. So why do I have pygmy goats instead of dogs? Goats are nice because they never come in the house. In the winter they grow a big furry coat and they love sitting outside in the sun. Additionally, very simple things keep goats happy. A tree branch can entertain a goat for days. Goats also help trim the trees and pick up fallen leaves and they leave wonderful fertilizer in return. Please enjoy the pictures of Mac & Tosh. |
