** I would like to qualify that I am talking about nannies and wethers. Intact males reek to high heaven. And you touch them and you get the pleasure of smelling like them all day. ugh
Love is like infinity: You can't have more or less infinity, and you can't compare two things to see if they're "equally infinite." Infinity just is, and that's the way I think love is, too.

I was attacked by a duck on my grandparents farm when I was really young. Birds are evil.
Damn. That was a really ugly duck photo too. I need to try again.
Not only mean, but terrifyingly ugly.
Do not mess in the affairs of dinosaurs because you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
I love you Missy. Even though you are not smart enough to take online quizzes to find out really important information. ~cew

They are one of my favorite animals. If we pass a petting zoo, Charlie just knows by now that we are going to have to go in, and he is going to have to take a picture of me while I pet the goats. I have a lot of pictures of me with goats.
I keep trying to get Charlie to say that we can have a goat, but he says it wouldn't be okay to keep a goat in the bathtub. I often try to get him to agree with it by asking several "yes" questions while he's not really listening: "Do you like chicken?" "Is your head attached to your neck?" "Are you wearing underpants?" "Can we have a goat?" to see if he will slip up. He generally doesn't fall for that, but... someday?
Bonus conversation we had this week: Charlie: "I don't want you thinking about tiny goats, because then you're really going to think we could keep one in the bathtub." Me: "Oh man! If we had a tiny goat, we wouldn't even need a bathtub! We could keep it in the bidet!" Charlie: "We don't HAVE a bidet." Me: "We could build one! For the goat!"
I got him to make that face I like when I say something so crazy his brain short circuits.
I would totally have a goat if we could! I think they are adorable.
My gram would always tell me stories of the goats on their farm when she was young....apparently one ate my great-grandpa's bible. Completely ate it. Gone. And this was about 1915 in Texas. Not an easy thing to replace. And he was the minister in town. Silly goats.
