Over the winter I loss my beautiful mare Sasha in a tragic accident.   It was heartbreaking for me and my husband in his infinite wisdom brought home a alpine goat named Emily to keep our little shetland pony Snuffy company not to mention give me something else to focus on.   Now all my customers who know me first hand and have always looked at the goat milk soaps in my handmade soap collection and asked the question “Do you have your own goats?”,  know that I never wanted goats.  No way, no how!  Absolutely not!   Yes, I do make quite a bit of goat milk soap in addition to my shea butter handmade soap bars but goats are mischievous and gregarious creatures and I didn’t want the hassle.   Boy has time changed my tune!  Little Miss Emily dropped a baby one evening and my husband knew that anything that has fur on it and especially a baby fur animal just warms my heart.   I wondered why he kept saying “You know, Emily sure is getting round.”  He knew that goat was pregnant when he brought her home!  I am now officially and happily attached to my little goat herd.   They are so much fun and a delight to interact with.  Snuffy is the big boss now and baby loves to jump on him and run circles around him.  He has a lot of patience with her and everyone has settled right in.  No, I still don’t have any intention of milking goats to make handmade bar soap with.  I will still buy my goat milk in bulk.  There isn’t enough hours in the day.  After all, we are a “artisan” handmade soap company which basically means I do everything. LOL!

Emily & Baby

Our Baby a bit bigger.  She grows really, really fast!

And..this is one of my favorites.   Before I took this photo the baby was jumping on Snuffy.  She got tired and layed down near him for a snooze!
