After some serious mileage yesterday on the ol' blue dodge (and after wading deep into hot water with the wife,) the goats are here. Dad and I drove out to Kemp to get them and it was quite an experience. We drove through some of the craziest dump/homes/farms/redneckvilles to get there. I tihnk it is safe to say that "the Country" south of Dallas is definitely different than "the country" north of dallas. All the houses were: A) tiny B) dumpy C) surrounded by trash/vehicles/junk. To top it off, the family we bought the goats from had THE craziest herd of exotic animals ever. From miniture zebus and miniture cows to camels, half-yaks and mini-mules.
Speaking of mini-mules, they had advertised one earlier for $25. They thought it had sold, but nobody came to pick it up, so they sold it to us. That's right, we brought home 3 Angora goats PLUS one mini-mule. Now right about now, you may be asking yourself just what exactly is a mini-mule? Well, here's my best guess - I figure it is a cross between a mini-pony stallion and a donkey or burro mare. Hopefully we'll snap some pics later today once the kids get home from school.

Here I was thinking we'd seen all the coolness at your farm, and you go and get some more! Now I'm not up to date any more, gal darn it!
Life in the fast lane baby!
A mini-donkey! That's oddly cute.
What's next? Trolls? Gnomes? Elves? Or maybe, fairies? :)
