Here is the story:
Well hello there. I am Cocoa...nut. That's what my human mom calls me but Gram and Gramps call me their Wild Child. I gotta say that really fits me. I wasn't always like this so let me tell you about my life.
I was born to a really great mom. Where I was born we were in with so many other goats and it was very scary. Mom always had to fight for her food but she always made me feel safe.
One day when I was 6 weeks old a human couple showed up to take us to a new home. They wanted to take me, my mother and my half sister. We were all very scared and they had to chase us to catch us. Me and my little sis were easier to catch because we were so small but my mom was having no part of getting caught. Finally all three of us were caught and taken to this really big white box. We were very nervous but once we were put inside we found these round things that are called Igloos. Those will become one of our favorite things. All three of us snuggled in one of those "Igloos" while we were in motion and on our way to our new home.
We got to our new home and were let out in a large green area. I had never seen grass before. And we weren't with a lot of other goats. This place could be really nice. Mom is still nervous so sis and I are doing what she wants us to. Right now she wants us to stay away from the humans. Mom told us humans are not to be trusted.
During the day we hang out in our Igloos and run around in the big field. We have been given names. My mom is called Mama, I am Cocoa, and little sis is Angel. Yeah there is no way I will be confused with Angel. She is sweet and tiny. I am wild and have longer legs.
A few days after we got to our new home Gram and Gramps came to meet us. Mom said stay away...but I am curious. No one has been mean to us here. Maybe my mom will let me meet them soon.
Yeah I think I'm gonna like it here. There's lots of room to play. Human mom puts these buckets out every day and they are fun to jump over.
Sometimes when I am tired I like to lay in one.
Human mom comes inside every day and talks to us. She pets the little ones and little sis lets her but mom and I still don't trust her. Well mom doesn't trust her and I have to listen to my mother.
For a few days human mom and dad aren't here so we are being taken care of by Grams and Gramps. They have this little thing with four legs and fur who also comes to visit. I heard Grams call her Gracie.
Grams came inside our area and pet the little ones. I really really wanted her to pet me. She seems so nice but mom still won't go near any humans and I have to do what she wants.
Gramps got close to my mom and he even fed her.
Gramps and Gracie were hanging out.
When human mom and dad came back dad built a really cool box where our bowl of water is kept. Human mom feeds me on top of it. I am very special because I am the only one who can jump on top of it. I also love jumping on top of the Igloos. It is just fun. Poor little sis is too small and she can't get on top. I tried to help her up one day but I think she is scared that she might fall off.
There is some excitement around the farm. Human mom and dad brought home two new goats. Their names are Shadow and Oreo. They really like Human mom and dad. They are let loose in our big pen. Uh oh...Mom does not like Shadow. She chases after her and tries to ram her onto the corner. Human mom and dad get really mad at her and she gets locked in the cage all by herself. Angel and I are playing nice. We don't want to get locked away. Well Angel "always' plays nice. She knows she is the smallest and needs the most protection. Now that mom is locked up I will have to be the big girl and watch out for little sis.
The next morning mom is let out and she is being nice to the new girls.
Shadow and Oreo are super friendly with human mom and dad. After watching them I decided to let human mom pet me but only for a few minutes. It was kind of nice.
We have another new goat. Her name is Honey but she is really shy so I don't know her yet. Human mom and dad got us some rocks. This is so awesome. I don't know if you know this but us goats hate and I mean really really hate when the water falls from the sky. We scream and we run for shelter. Well we also hate when the ground is wet and our hooves get wet so the rocks are pretty awesome. No more wet hooves...plus they are fun to jump up and down on.
The girls who used to own Shadow and Oreo came over and put bows on little sis and I. I kind of like the this girl and even let her pick me up but these pictures are so embarrassing. I hope no one sees them.
Oh what a fun time we had today. Gram and Gramps were over and human mom and dad let us out. It was crazy. We ran up to the big building and then ran all the way around to the other side. Human mom came running after us yelling and screaming. We ran away and in through one door and then inside the big building. And then we ran back outside again. I love doing crazy things like that and it made everyone laugh. We kind of got into trouble for that but it sure was fun.
Coming out of the big pen is fun but we are only allowed to come out 2-3 at a time now. I guess we caused too much trouble when we ran through the building. It is fun to be out though. There is so much grass out there and you know it is much better than what is inside the pen.
Woo hoo...I love Gram and Gramps. They brought over some very cool new toys for us. Human mom calls them spools...I call them fun. Of course I am the first one to check them out.
Most of my days are spent running around and trying to get someone to play with me. We also know what the "red" can is. It means food and we all love food. We jump up and get all excited when we see that red can. Sometimes we even trip up human mom but she never really gets mad at us. Although one day I got a little too curious. An empty red can was on the ground but how was I to know the can was empty. I went to investigate and stuck my head inside. Uh oh...I was stuck and stated running around but it was dark. I started to panic a little until I heard human mom. She helped me get unstuck. Whew...that sure was scary.
Wow today Human mom and dad built us a brand new home. I'm helping dad.
He also brought the big blue tractor in. Of course I had to jump up and check that out. I love when I have new things to jump on.
The chickens had a house before human mom and dad built boxes for them. Of course we had to check it out. Believe it or not there are 5 of us in here.
C'mon Honey let's play.
Hmm....Oreo has been mean to little sis. She keeps butting her with her horns and Oreo has some sharp horns. I told little sis to follow me onto the rocks one night. It was time to give her some lessons so she could defend herself against that mean Oreo. I jumped on top of a rock and put my head down to butt little sis. I did it gently at first until little sis started butting me back. Then we were both on top of the spools and I butted her some more and she butted me back. I even let her knock me off of the spool to boost her confidence. She needs to feel tough sometimes. We sparred for quite some time. I guess it was too long for little sis and she ran back into the barn and didn't want to play anymore. No one here has as much energy as I do. On a good note Oreo hasn't messed with her as much.
Ooh...I am out with little sis and Honey and we have new hay. I love playing on the hay. Hmm...I wonder if I can make it into that trailer.
How much fun is this.
Remember when I told you the grass was better on the other side well it really is.
My mom has been kind of mean again so she got her own jewelry. I think she looks kind of funny but I'm not telling her. She things she looks like a queen. I won't tell her otherwise but little sis and I get to fits of giggles about it.
I like chewing and biting on things. Mom is always fun to bug. Her and I both have waddles and those are fun to nibble on. I also chew on her horns and now I can chew on these blue things.
Gram and Gramps stopped by again. Oh goody goody. I love seeing them. Gram comes inside the pen and pets all of us. She is very sweet to all of us and sometimes she brings us delicious treats. Human mom doesn't give us treats like that. I will have to talk to her about that.
All of us girls checking out the new dog that human mom and dad got. We are very curious but believe it or not kind of scared of that hairy little thing.
So that's my story so far. I have a new home and lots of new family and friends. I love it here and I want stay here forever.
The End
My next story will just be a wrap up about 2018. I will post that on Wednesday and then go to Monday and Wednesday postings. We still have a lot more projects for all to catch up on:)
