Magically adorable, Judy S.

    Nice of them to give him beige shag carpet that looks like real straw but is softer! No wonder Jack Hanna’s first pet was a goat. THIS breed I’d love to have.

    Are we sure that thing is real? Looks suspicously like something from that diabolically evil Acme or Steiff company.

  23. dmaufer says:

    Is it as sproingy as the other goatlets we’ve seen on CO? You might have a harder time keeping it in the hat than pulling it out!

  24. Alice Shortcake says:

    I hope he wipes those black boots before climbing into the hat!

  25. old goatlady says:

    Just to make all of you jealous, I have two pregnant Nigerian Dwarf goats (that’s what that little goatlett looks like to me) that will be having their kids in May! It’s my first time and I’m beside myself with anticipation!!!!!!!

    Right now the cute involves watching my preggo goats getting chubbier and starting to develop very adorable mini udders ;)
