Photo Friday

Due to a fun two days with my best friend, Kristina and two of her sisters last week, I totally forgot to post Photo Friday!! So these pictures were supposed to be last week's post :) Now that spring is coming and the green is starting to come back, I should have some better pictures on the way.
This week is a combination of goat baby cuteness and *Scream* snakes!
For a quick update on the babies, Chayton and Chaska, we unfortunately lost Chaska a week ago Wednesday. He went steadily downhill since his birth on Monday night and when we wen to check on him on Wednesday, he was already gone. We think it was either a heart defect, or lack of oxygen at birth, which caused internal problems. Sad as it is, such is the way of farm life.
Chayton however, is a little Dennis the Menace. He never sits still unless he is sleeping and he even had the audacity to head-butt our dog, Shep, not once, but twice! Shep actually ran away from him! He is quite the stinker and isn't afraid of anything. He is unusually brave for a goat his age. He even butted our cat, Lilly...and if you've been in the barn for any length of time, you would know that that isn't a smart thing to do. But even she seemed cowed by his relentless energy. He is going to be quite the handful when he gets a little bigger. I have a feeling it will take his mama, me and his two auntie goats to keep track of him :) Somehow I always end up with those kinds of goats...much to my mother's chagrin.
So my favorite photo this week is of that little tiny snake that is almost cute! (according to Lydia, he is a very scary snake, as demonstrated by the last photo)
Though the top photo is my favorite in terms of quality, I laugh heartily every time I look at the last photo. I tried to get a picture of her holding it, but she would have none of it!!
Any favorites this week?

That last picture is great ;) but I think my favorite is the first one of the two baby goats together. I am so sorry to hear about Chaska :( But its great to hear that Chayton is doing so well and obviously has so much energy :) he kinda reminds me of my dog Shiloh who is pretty much a goat in a dogs body ;) he loves to climb on everything and eat everything :)

Thanks, Bethany. It was sad to lose him, but Chayton is keeping me entertained :) I'm thankful I still have one baby to love.
I think the energetic ones, no matter what species, are the best ;)

I like snakes! :) (Just for the record it isn't a fact that all city girls hate snakes. ;) )
You have some great pictures this time, Lauren.

...although your photos of those slithering snakes are great..and teasing Lydia w/that oh so cute little snake....but you know me...I love the baby goats---and mama goat- their personalities really do come out---it is so sad about little Chaska- (how do you pick their names?)- Chayton looks so cute in his plaid little coat---is he getting ready to come to New Mexico?

I like to use Arabic names for my goats. Sabriyah's name is Arabic, but I couldn't find any boy names I liked that we hadn't used in the past, so since I'm part Native American, I started looking for Indian names. Their names are Sioux.
