Videos of the Fainting goats!


This is a video of one of the kids fainting! 
They are not actually fainting. Myotonic goats are also known as the Fainting goat! Fainting goats have a genetic disorder called myotonia congenita.When they are startled, the muscles in their legs stiffen, which causes them to fall over. It only last about 10 seconds. It doesn't hurt them either. 
It is very funny to watch!

This is another video!

Baby goats!

I recently found out that Lilly and Tilly are not pregnant but very fat! I was really disappointed.  So my parents bought me 2 baby goats! They are so adorable! The kids dam (mother goat) is a Pygmy goat and their sire (father goat) is a Fainting goat. These kids faint a lot! They are 4 months old. . They were just weaned from their mom and sometimes cry a lot. They don't have names yet. I can't think of a names for them. They are starting to get used to their new homes and all the animals around them.



Buddy checking out the new kids.

My new violin

My old violin was getting way too small for me. I had it for about 4 years. We found a $1,000 Strad violin on Ebay, that came with $200 case! It was only used for a couple months by somebody else. We won it in a bid of $200! That was a good deal!

 The violin and the it's case.

The back of the violin.

Funny pictures of the goats!


His beard is so funny!

This is what happens when I try to take a picture of the goats 
standing on their hind legs, while they're trying to get a leaf! Ha ha!

 Tilly standing on her hind legs trying to get a leaf!

 She finally got it!
