In which we upgrade goat living quarters to Goatenheim 2.0
Our goats are getting old.
More than 10 years ago, Madeline and I drove over to Eastern Washington to visit Gail and Mike, and to pick up two cute little goat kids that Ryan had procured for us.
Later that week, we set up Goatenheim, the realm of goats, which contained a little goat house and a small horse-resistant enclosure of their own.
I recently fixed up the fence around their enclosure (due to Draconic "helpfulness") but the only improvement to the goat-house itself in all this time is a new layer of shingles every-other year.
The little goat-house is certainly showing its age, and so, frankly, are the goats. Goats normally live 10-12 years, although they can certainly live longer.
(Patty assures us that our goats, who are really kind of jerks, will probably live forever.)
After 10 years, it was time to give Lupin and Dobby a space that was a little bigger, that could be bedded deeply and cleaned conveniently.
Which led us to...
