This is Annie.
I raised Annie and Lil' Annie on bottles last spring after both their mothers died.
Annie is just a common goat. No special breed. But she is special to me. Annie actually does not know she is a goat.
I did spoil her as did the rest of the family. My grandson loves Annie and Annie loves him too.
Annie could not understand why she wasn't allowed to live in the house with us.
When we finally fixed all the fence so Annie could not get out,she spent a lot of time like this. With her head through the fence. She knew she would get attention.
BoDog would look at Annie like he couldn't believe she got her head out for about the 15th time for the day.
The other goats knew Annie was the ring leader and followed her everywhere she went.
Annie always had this look that said"why are all this goats following me everywhere?"
Annie led the goats places they weren't suppose to be. Like out of the fence and playing on the hay bales.
Now Annie is a mother. She has 2 babies.
The brown one is a girl and does not like to be petted.
The tan one is a boy and has Annie's sweet personality and loves to be petted.
I hope you enjoyed getting to know Annie a little bit.
Have a great day!

Great post. How long have you had her now?
What a neat story! On my dad's game farm, he had all kinds of animals like that, and my kids loved to go out to visit, so they could play with the animals. You are adding so much value to your grandkids lives, plus enjoyment to yours. Neat!
I love Annie!!!
What beautiful goats! Annie's babies are growing up nicely, aren't they.
One time I had a baby goat that didn't want to be touched, common in mother raised babies and I did the TTellington touch on him. It worked like magic. If you don't know what it is look it up on the web or they have books that show you how to do it. It works on all sorts of animals. It was developed for horses but the author has used it on wild animals in zoos.
Annie is so sweet!
So sweet-makes me wish I had some goats.
Enjoyed this post. Looks like Annie is loved and spoiled.
I grew up on a small dairy goat ranch so these pictures are just eye-candy to me. Gorgeous! Until entering public school at the ripe age of 7 I had never even tasted cow's milk. We made butter out of our goat's milk and used the rich cream for wonderful farm fresh desserts. More lovely pictures please!
I love that goat. I am a capricorn so I empathize with Annie. I, too, am a leader without the desire to be....And I do get into a little trouble now and again!
I love that photo of Annie peeking into the window! She's just lovely,too. She reminds me of my mini-mancha doeling, except she only has elf ears.
But she has a similar face and beautiful eyes like your Annie.
Thanks for sharing your Annie with everyone.
"Annie actually does not know she is a goat".... and that's something very special. Powerful post. It touched my heart.
Lovely photos and story. Annie might get a bit more responsible now she has her own babies?!

These are by far the most beautiful photos you have posted. The animals are cute! But your little grandson...oh my...he is waaay toooo cute! Happy photos make me very happy indeed.

Annie is certainly a character. You and your family must have many hours of laughs at the antics of Annie, Jack and Co.
Thank-you for all the nice comments. I really appreciate you taking time to visit.
I am still working the garden all day putting up vegetables but will be visiting you all real soon.
Have a great day!
Annie is quite a character!! You can see her personality in all the pictures you've taken of her. hee hee.
