I had the best playground growing up– my backyard. We lived on a farm with horses, pastures and… a goat.
This is my brother and I with Cinnamon. Cinnamon was quite regal, with high cheekbones and a long face. If she had been wearing a string of pearls and a hat, it would not have seemed out of place.
Cinnamon had personality to spare. She had a mad crush on my Dad, could eat anything (and not gain a pound) and she loved being scratched between the horns.
Thanks to my friendship with Cinnamon and later "Baaabs" (our other goat) I became a goat girl. Goats are so cool!
Anyway, here's a fun story from my favorite ABC correspondent (and husband) Neal Karlinsky about goats for rent:

We had dairy goats for years and were milking 16 by hand – twice a day at one time. We have had goats off and on again for the last several years. Seems like you cannot get it out of your blood once you get attached to them. :)
My dad tells stories about having goats when he was growing up. Sounds like they do have a lot of personality! Cinnamon is such a cute name for her :)
That is so cool that you had a goat! I love it!
Thank you so much for stopping by and following my blog! :) I am following you back :)
Malia,
That is an adorable picture! One of my friends has 5 acres and keeps goats among her other animals. she told me they don’t even need a lawn mower. They just let their goats our for the day and it’s done.
Thank you so much for stopping by! I am following you back! :) Hope you have an awesome Thursday!

Neal’s story is great. The picture you posted – seriously, looks like it could be Max and Mia! To top it off you grew up on a farm? When are the cool details of your life going to be fully revealed???
