All roads lead to Bendigo

Last October I was able to cross yet another life ambition off The List when I achieved near immortality by having a goat named after me

"Self" I thought at the time, " It doesn't get any better than this" [ which my family and friends would probably tell you says volumes about my life ]
Self agreed with me, but it turns out that both of us were completely incorrect.

It turns out that leading your namesake into the judging ring at the inaugural Bendigo Goat Show is pretty nifty too


and even better is when she wins Best Anglo-Nubian Doe in her age group [ narrowly beating out another of PND's doelings, Ms Hannah ]

and, cheesy grin notwithstanding, if you click for big, you can read what it says on my shirt

She's beautiful. Lovely colouring and stand. The goat is rather gorgeous too! lol
Just kidding... I was talking about the goat but you look pretty good, too. :)

Congratulations on the big win. As a former dog exhibitor, I know what a thrill it is. Hey, and aren't you lucky to be in Bendigo !! Just as well I'm not there or my house would literally be bursting at the seams.

My sister does that exact same "I said to myself, "Self"..."

I need to get my mum a similar shirt, but she doesn't have a goat, she has a lorikeet. Same problem though.

Congrats on both your namesake and your win! I love the shirt--too true of many kinds of livestock, I think, cats included!

She's a lovely goat!
And I love that shirt. I'd have to get one that said 'sheep' or 'chickens', though. Or maybe just a general 'critters'...
