so called because BrendaND thinks the black marks along his spine look like a club, spade and heart,
and also because he was the only one [ of four ] to survive from the two pregnancies.Pete has now been told that Nubians are less hardy than the other breeds and I ran this idea past my goat guru Rosie, when I went to pick David up today. For what it's worth, she agrees ... says that she's only ever had two nubians and they were lovely animals but cost her a fortune in vet fees at kidding time.
anyway
Scarlett isn't interested in him at all, so Bear's mama, Misty, is treating the little guy as an extra puppy, complete with the tongue washing at both ends [ and all I'll say on that is: she better not lick me with that tongue ]
Here's Bear rather tentatively checking out the new member of the extended tribe
He sleeps in a hay filled tub in the laundry, coming out occasionally to play with the dogs and to follow Brenda around as she tends the garden.
Mr tough-guy Pete is still 'joking' about barbeques
but somehow I think little Lucky is going to stay as a friend for his daddy, Blackadder... and the two boys are being entered in their first goat show this weekend in the Father-and-son class, so fingers crossed, okay ?

Endearing. Or should I say "engoating"?
He's beautiful. Such a shame that Scarlett didn't bond with him, although sounds like he is content with a dogs life.
Oh Lucky is adorable. And yes, those markings do look like the card symbols.
Oh wow, how seriously cute is he! I hope they win!
Love the deck of cards! Cute. Hope he thrives! Good luck with the contest
He's cute! He certainly seems lucky so far. All the best for the contest.
Oh my goodness - what a sweet little guy - and just look at the gorgeous, glossy coat on him!
Lucky indeed!
What a beautifully colored little guy! Looks like he's bonded with somebody.
Oh just shoot me NOW because I can't stand the cuteness!
He is beyond adorable.
Those markings are hilarious!!
I can't wait until I have a place for goats. I used to care for pygmies and Kashmirs, but any variety will do!
OMG, what a little cutie!!! I wonder if the Absurdly Gi-normous Kitty would like a pet goat....
How cute! I want a goat now!
He seems much bigger than Bella was at that age
Well Nadie I think perhaps just a little bigger than Bella - can't really remember - see what you think when you're up here next ... and of course he IS one cross closer to pure nubian than Bella so he SHOULD be smaller with less of the Saanan in the mix
but as has been pointed out to me, bucks tend to be bigger than does.
I wouldn't know - only girlies round here
