Maple, the Pet of the Day
Name: Maple
Age: Nine months old
Gender: Female
Kind: Pygmy Goat
Home: Indiana, USA
 
   This is Maple. She is full of personality! we got her as a four-week-old bottle baby. She can be difficult to show at times but she does really well in the ring! She has a Reserve Junior champion at an open show and a Junior/Reserve Grand Champion at a Sanctioned Youth Show at only nine months old.

    The first show we ever took her to was the Indiana State fair this year and she got third in her class of about thirty! When ever the judge comes by she has to look up at them to say Hi. She enjoys the attention she gets at shows. She also has a reputation in the show ring, even some of the judges know her by name! when ever she gets tired of leading around the ring she will lay down even when she is supposed to be walking. I've never seen a goat do this before. Whenever she does this everyone is like "That must be maple!" Also whenever I show her she likes to look up at the ceiling. You can see how weird she holds her head on a lead in some of the pictures. Since she was a bottle baby I never have to worry about her going anywhere if I let her out of her pen. She will normally just walk around and eat leaves. She doesn't run away from people like must goats will, Instead she will come up to you looking for food or some attention. She is a pleasure to have around at home and (sometimes) in the show ring, too.
