Animal Activities #29

So a couple of weeks ago, two little black goats were born in one of the animals farms in my neighborhood, particular race course Accra Ghana. It's a decent neighborhood, a mix of residential areas and old school animals farms. The only problem I have living there is when I have to pass by some of the animals farms, if you're not too used to the scent it's not that good but I have gotten a bit used to it.

What's so special about these little goats? Well they're twins and I decided to bring them up in this blog because that's something I share similar with them, I'm an identical twin too.

They look so shy with their legs still learning how to balance. This week, they officially became a month old and already trying to explore like they’ve lived here forever. I took this photo of them not long after they had finished one of their many little morning walks and eatingn They still stay close to each other, never too far apart. That's pretty cute, and I can relate because I'm getting close to 30 and I'm still that close to my twin brother.

In my household the only times I see goats around us when it's Christmas, more of a tradition to kill some animal, either a chicken, turkey or cow. We've had live goat being killed for Christmas dinner once and funny story about that, they were two goats and we only killed one because the other one was sick and we couldn't risk giving that to the family as meat. You will never know which type of sickness you can get from eating sick animals so it's always great to apply wisdom.

I doubt these goats will be killed early, they're too special and they kinda took the spotlight in the entire farm. They're basically celebrities there and why not, they take all the attention.

You can tell they were born healthy and strong, and they’ve grown so fast. I really wish I was around when the mother was giving birth I haven't seen that live before.

These little guys move around a lot, pulling at anything they can find, ropes, leaves, sometimes even people's clothes.

Two tiny goats like these ones today may one day mean fresh milk, income from a sale or even more goats, but for now, they are just playful, harmless and full of life. I actually wish they would remain tiny forever I would have requested to have them as pets but they moment they grow big it's not going to be cool having them as pets as much as it is having cats around.
