Handsome
was a bit of a surprize. We actually adopted his mom, named
Princess, from a farm near Edward's Air Force base. The day we picked
her up the former owners told us she "may be pregnant." His mom is a five-
year-old Nubian, she had clearly been overbred. We hoped to put her in
our pen as a companion goat to our Pygmy baby who lost his mommy. We
foresaw a nice a quiet life for both. Low and behold, three months later out
came twin baby Nubian goats - she must have been two months pregnant when
we got her! The neighborhood children came to help and named them "Sir
Lancelot" and "Handsome" because they were both gorgeous and
Blonde. Unfortunately, after five days of hand feeding, vet visits and IV,
Sir Lancelot, Handsome's brother, did not survive. Our entire
neighborhood was very distraught. He gained huge popularity in a short
time. We were very very sad.
As you can imagine, today our "Handsome" is even more precious then he
already was. He is four months old and 80 pounds (he loves sweet feed and
the plums off the fruit trees) and he is completely adorable. All
(species) of ladies love him from our female cocker spaniel to the lady
horse next door.
Handsome is bound to break hearts. He the most attentive wonderful
handsome boy. We couldn't imagine life without him. Handsome has a zest
for the ladies and for life - every one seems to gravitate towards him
immediately. We thank the heavens above, he was a suprise and a miracle
at the same time.
