mein Tiere - goats!

Angoras!!! these guys are 4 months or so now. they are twin brothers. names are from Tolkien's Lord of the Rings this time.....Gimli (two pics on the left) & Tom Bombadil (top/right). Gimli has fur on his jaw & down his face....Tom has a red-tipped tail. Tom was attacked by some large wild cat about a month ago. Gimli ran away & was missing all night. he came back after dawn, perfectly fine.....after we had been up all night searching the woods for him!

right now their curly fur is rather short....normally they look twice as big because of it! but it's hot & mohair keeps one rather warm.....I'll need to trim them again here pretty soon--it grows back fast!

these guys love jumping on EVERYTHING. and trying to eat everything. and trying to get in places they are not supposed to go....like the house. they are lots of fun though! Gimli is normally the one getting into trouble first.
