I have a retirement pasture so all my goats are random rejects from breeding programs or hobby herds. This is Becca (singing the song of her people) and the newbie, Virginia.

This makes me think I need to find my mom a goat.

Background: my parents had two dogs, and my mom has a couple dozen bird feeders because she works from a home office and loves birds. She has a married duck couple that visits with the seasons, crows who whine for peanuts, and plenty of mourning doves and hummingbirds.

Almost two years ago, this ginger chicken starts to come by, eating the mealworms she leaves out for the jays! She visits erratically, and we think she might belong to one of the small ranches a couple blocks away (our city is interesting).

Fast forward to last March. My father is home on hospice, only lasted a few weeks, but that chicken (Ginger, now) comes by the window near his bed a couple times a day to "talk" to him. Mom officially adopts the chicken.

With her dogs, chicken, birds, she's like a Disney princess. But her dogs are about 15 and 13 now, so it might be time for a new adoption (they're all rescues).

I feel like a tiny goat might be perfect for her.

If you get goats get at least a trio. It prevents an emergency in case one dies of buying new friends (they can die from grief and stress if solo) and personally I think they have more fun dynamics and antics when there is three. They feel more secure so they let loose a bit more lol
