Brrrr...Its cold outside!

I thought this would be an appropriate post for today since its a beautiful 85 degrees outside and tomorrow there is a freeze warning and a chance of up to an inch of snow. Mother nature is obviously bi-polar and our little goats don't enjoy the swinging temperatures. Our last little cold spell it got down well below freezing and we worried about our littlest goats in the backyard. 

They have a heat lamp but our smallest goat was just 4lbs at the time so we worried it would still be too cold for her. We've had a lot of pneumonia issues this year because of all the changing weather so we've been trying to play it safe when it comes to keeping warm. 
 Victoria all bundled up and bringing in the babies. Heidi, although the biggest, in one of our favorite goats. She is so friendly and loves to be cuddled.
 Avery and Heidi checking out the place.
Ruby was quick to check out the stairs. We had to chase her down.
 We were trying to round everyone up but they were more interested in playing.
 But their curious nature got the best of them and as soon as Victoria scooped up Ruby. All the other goats followed her to see where she was taking Ruby.
 The garage goat hotel. Heidi, Ruby, Zelda, and Avery in the big crate while Link and Toby took the littler crate. Thankfully the weather warmed back up so they only had to spend to nights (not the days) in the garage. Although based on the current weather forecast it looks like tomorrow they may be cooped up in there once again.
