Well, we now have this year's goat babies at our house.

This is the second year the wife and girls have agreed to foster baby miniature goats for a gal down the street.  She sells them as pets, and in order to socialize them with people, we take them just after they are born and raise them up, feeding them with a bottle every couple of hours or so.

They catch on to the process quickly, and they are as cute as can be. The girls love it, and it also teaches them quite a bit of responsibility. The wife gets to talk baby talk to them as well, which entertains everyone.

After a couple of months of this intense attention, they are totally imprinted on people, and they will come to the call like a dog.  They make good if mischievous pets, behaving much like a dog that wants to play tricks all the time.   

I'm sure this will be an entertaining couple of months here at the house.
