At a book signing the other night, I was asked why I love goats so much. The long answer is here, in my essay called “Goat Girl.”
The short version: This is the card my parents sent out when my brother was born. I think it explains quite a lot. 
P.S. My mom still has that hat.
Now I understand! You were born to love goats. I hope you can get a pair some day.
You and me both, Jennie. My little Oberhasli-Nigerian crosses…
FYI, readers: Denver allows backyard dairy goats!
