Minnie the Kidsitter

Minnie Pearl is my twin sister. She's named after the country music singer Minnie Pearl. The singer always left the tags hanging on her hat, and my twin Minnie has wattles hanging from her neck. I'm sure it made sense to our human when she named us. This is Minnie and me in the barnyard.

Minnie loves kids. She is really nice to everybody's kid; that's just the way she is. She is not having any kids of her own this year because she is retiring. Sometimes, she likes to stay up in the barnyard by herself while everyone is down in pasture. Today that backfired. She was just trying to stay there for a little peace and quiet. Instead, she had six kids bouncing around her.

After putting up with their bouncy play for a while, she decided she would join the rest of us grown-up goats and get a break from the kids. Instead, she ended up taking six kids to pasture with her (Hee, hee).

Minnie is looking down the hill to see where we are at, or more specifically where the missing moms are. The kids are from left to right: Velvet and Fancy (Meg's), Rover and Red (Lily's), and Vinnie and Pistol (Dolly's). They aren't even her grandkids!
