12-12-12

One day  before Christmas my husband got a bright idea to buy
a goat for his father as a gag gift. So we headed to the sale barn
on a very muddy day December 12th. 2012.
We walked through mud, smelled all that farm animal stink
and picked out the littlest goat we could find. It was a day
we will NEVER forget, sweet times as a homeschool family.

We had to sign in and get a number
to be able to bid...this was our
VERY FIRST time!
 
We sat for OVER 2 hours waiting
for our little goat to come
out to be bid on.
 
 
$20 is what we paid for our goat,
we named him Billy Barr.
We loved him dear.
 
We wanted to remember Billy
so we drew and wrote
about him.

We miss him, and hope to
one day get another
Pygmy goat.
