Goats




Waddles and Baddles- born 7/08. Weird names I know, Waddles because he has little wattles hanging on his neck and his brother is Baddles because .... well... it rhymes. yeah... ok. They are about 24 inches tall. Both very sweet and will come to people to be scratched and petted. They are both wethers, part boer/nubian. Neither have been aggressive or "ram- like" to people. They will butt each other.

Wow... awesome new painting by Linda. This is a pastel painting of her friend's dog, Aggie. Linda had been at their house taking several photos and sketches to capture Aggie's color, movement and personality. The grand old lady was very cooperative. Oddly, later that evening, she passed over rainbow bridge. This painting is a last testament to a fabulous old german shepherd with a heart of gold. From what I'm the told, the recipient of the painting cried and cried after receiving it for Christmas...
