Leash Training Amethyst

I finally put a collar and leash on Amethyst.  Isn't she cute???  Check out the video below to see her reaction.

She was freaked out at first, but then she climbed into my lap for comfort and it was okay.  She's dragged the rope a few more times since this video and is definitely getting more comfortable with it.  She still doesn't like me to hold the rope because if she feels trapped it freaks her out.  That' definitely not an unusual reaction.  Below are some photos from March 7th of her just being cute.

 She loves her table!

 The forked tree is another favorite.

 Sorry they are blurry.  I was getting late and you know how cell phones are.

 I wish her head hadn't been behind the post.  Look how high she jumps!

 She's adorable!

 Topaz wanted some attention too.

Amethyst refuses to be ignored!

She can be such a little pest sometimes hehe.

Amethyst Four Weeks!

I have some more videos for you of Amethyst!  She is so stinking cute!

We finally moved Coral and Amethyst in with Topaz so Amethyst can learn to socialize with other goats.  This was really her first time ever meeting another goat.  She loves the bigger stall and yard for sure!  Check out the video below of her meeting Topaz and Jackal.

Amethyst can be a bit of a pest.  I've spoiled her.  I'll admit it.  Being around another adult doe is a good thing though because she can help discipline Amethyst and teach her the rules of being a goat much better than we can.

Amethyst has been taste testing feed and hay since she was a week old, but now at four and a half weeks old she is eating grain with her mother every day.  She loves to stand in the feeder and eat.  The old chicken nest box is her own personal bunk bed.  I need to try to get pictures of it.  She sleeps up there!  Check out the beginning of this next video to see her get up in the nest box where she sleeps.  Don't worry, it's the last one.

Here is a picture of her climbing out of her box to stand in the feeder and eat.

Here is a picture of her eating grain out of a bucket for those who can't see video.

Amethyst always cheers me up and makes any bad day better with her cute baby antics.  :D

Jack Video

Here is a picture of Jack enjoying his honeysuckle for those of you who can't watch videos.  He's hanging from his hind legs on the screen door while chewing on his treat.  Check out the video below.
