He was thrilled. Everyone was thrilled, except for possibly the mama who forgot to charge her camera battery and didn't get any pictures of the kids playing with the goat once she was let out of her crate.
Her name is Isabella, Bella for short. When thinking of names, we thought this was very cute. (And it is, for a goat.) We know a little girl in the neighborhood by that name, and she has goats, so it was even more fitting. It wasn't until just right now, writing this post, that I realized that I know another Isabella who goes by Bella. We'll pretend that she doesn't really exist, because she doesn't. But we at least know that the goat wasn't named after HER.
Oh, and Bella is covered in ticks that have happily jumped ship onto our clothing. She's really a gift that likes to give.
How did we get so far from the birthday boy?
Anyhoo... Happy birthday, Josh. We love you, man.

And picking ticks sounds grossly entertaining...
Happy Birthday!
And a goat is a great present (ticks, less so).
As for goat blood and vamps, I don't think I'd heard that one before. No chupacabras....
Happy Birthday Josh!!!
Happy birthday, Josh!
Well, happy birthday to the Josh! What fun to have a goat to play with, too. Has he gotten rid of her ticks yet? I can remember being checked for ticks on a very regular basis when I was growing up. They liked the back of my neck right up in my hairline.
Ick.
I'm just glad you didn't call her "Bella" after the Twilight series ...
My doggie is Bella short for Mirabella!
happy birthday Josh!
HB Josh! Love your pretty goat!
Happy Birthday Josh! Cute goat:)
Happy Birthday!! Have fun with the goat :)
That's such an awesome birthday gift. I have a little sister who is also turning 12 this summer. That would be the ultimate gift. She even gets books out from the library about goats and could tell you all about how to take care of them and different breeds. She so needs a farm!
Happy 12th birthday to Josh! and I'm sure there will be plenty of photo-taking opportunities!
Happy Birthday, Josh! Ha ha, I hope she isn't named after that other non existent Bella, who would want a vampire goat? Sounds like she's starting out interestingly enough. I like the name.
awe! Hope he had a great one!
Happy Birthday, Josh!
I hear goats eat EVERYTHING! I hope you have her safely away from the gardens!
