Babies coming soon! (we think!)
The Nigerian Dwarf Goats
Captain& Jack
These guys started it all! We brought them home across the ferry in a laundry basket at only a few hours old! Immediately we knew our lives had changed for the better! They lived in the house, were sung lullabies and learned how to eat grass by watching my 7 year old son crawl around on the grass... eating it. But really, they preferred their bottles! As they grew old, they didn't want to give up their bottles and had to be tricked into drinking water from a bucket. In Jack's case he refused the bucket and would only drink from the kayak or a toy dump truck.
Nowadays Captain & Jack are the leaders. Jack is the silent partner while Captain makes sure everyone knows where they stand and who to listen to.
Their human identities would be... Jack is the quarter back because he is very handsome and athletic and always admiring his reflection. Captain is the frat brother that smashes beer cans on his forehead to try to impress the girls who are all oogaling at his twin.
SPARROW
Sparrow is very special. He was born no bigger than your hand and needed clothes pegs to support his legs so he could stand. He has had countless health issues in his first year but is now strong and healthy and one of the tallest. He is the sweetest most gentle fella with saggy gray ears that always look like they are wilting. Sparrow adores Disney Princess movies or any movie with a catchy tune and loves to sit on the couch and snack on popcorn while he watches.
Daisy
Daisy is the herd Queen, which means she is a diva and is the true leader, despite what Captain would like to think. Daisy loves sparkles, pink, and freezies! Daisy has had some difficult pregnancies so this royal lady has retired her baby days and will now rule without distraction!
If Daisy were a human she would give the Hollywood Divas a run for their money!
Willy
Shy, quiet Willy sits off to the side and is always ready for a pat and a cuddle. He adores being brushed and unlike most of the others he is a very picky eater.
Wrecks
Our extreme sports, cuddly, Wrecks is our main paddle board enthusiast and LOVES food.
Poppet
Pretty Poppet is such a sweet girl. Her bright blue eyes are always so curious. She is a therapy goat and is the proud Mom of Elizabeth and Pippa. Poppet under went a life saving blood transfusion in January 2022 and we are very lucky to have her with us!
Sadie
Our little lady Sadie is ready to bat her eyes at you and push into everyone's hearts. She loves to dress up and be the center of attention.
Tiki
Shy but mighty. Tiki goes where she please, hops in and out of the paddock or her stall and will do just about anything for oranges!
ELizabeth (Lizzie)
Poppet's gentle daughter. Lizzie is sweet, gentle and real cuddle bug. She likes to hang by Mom's side and keep her little sister Pippa in line.
Mr. GibbS
Mr. Gibbs is the new buck in town. He is sweet and gentle and loves to jump up for treats. We expect great things from him in the future!
Ellie
Ellie is a charmer and although she doesn't care much for goats she ADORES people. Ellie comes to us from a farm on the island and adores cuddles, food and personal attention. She and Pippa are 3 week apart in age and good buddies.
Pippa
Pippa is Poppet's daughter and Lizzie's little sister. She is very sweet, has a little of her big sister in her and loves to follow and copy Lizzie's every move.
PEGGY
Peggy is our first Pygmy goat and we are excited about her stubby legs and man-sheep voice. Peggy came to us from Nova Scotia in January 2022 and she has made a nice little bond with Ellie & Pippa but her favourite is Gibbs!
The Alpines
Nemo
Gentle Nemo adores babies. She adores being a Mommy and loves to snuffle at everyone else's babies too. She loves having her daughter Ariel by her side and her twin sister Dory, even though like all sister they don't always get along.
Nemo has a silly adventurous streak that always keeps us giggling.
Dory
Curious and determined Dory loves to show everyone how good she is at being milked. She loves her twin sister Nemo but finds that Nemo's daughter, Ariel sometimes takes away from her time with her sister.
Ariel
Ariel is an Alpine-Nubian and has the ears to show it. Nubians have long floppy ears while Alpines have sticking out the side ears. Ariel got the length from her Nubian daddy and the sticky-out part from her Mommy giving her what appears to be airplane wings. Ariel is a gentle soul but often has a lot to say. She is very attached to her Mom, Nemo.
