If it s...Sir Owl, I thought Getrude was for ducks? If it starts smoking, I'll call it Beryl. As to your last suggestion, if HM finds out you'll lose your Knighthood.<br /><br />John D, I have a dog called Dog and a goose called Goose. This time I would like to try to be different!<br /><br />Jan, I swung over to your very interesting blog (welcome to mine, by the way) and with the names you have given your eclectic collection of pets the best you can come up with is Brenda! Surely that is too 'normal' for you?<br /><br />Megan, there are herds of goats here, flocking loads of them but now that you mention it, I have never seen anyone milking them or making goats cheese. They seem to be bred half feral for meat. Maybe when this one grows up I'll start a milking trend. What does goat's milk taste like anyway? And don't say: milk!<br /><br />Ursula, I should have thought of that but didn't. Then again, I am a man. As such, I can't see myself in a Dirndl, no matter how much you would.<br /><br />My knickname at Sandhurst was Gobber Gowans because I was forever telling jokes and generally unable to keep my trap shut, so the top suggestion is that made by an absolute pud, Gabby it is! You have made a happy, albeit unusual couple, even happier. Gobber and Gabby Gowans send you their regards.<br /><br />Mr Pudding of God's Country, email me the address of your local post office (or post it as a comment) and I will send you care of that a small but well earned prize from Angola (and no, it is not a box of anti personnel mines which you can use to keep trespassers off your allotment, although if you want some and can get me an End User Certificate...). I think you can access my email address through my profile, if not, then it is tomgowans(at)flordita(dot)com<br /><br />Hippohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09468795398813061897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512022050229968490.post-76383479719825887092012-09-08T07:22:08.287+01:002012-09-08T07:22:08.287+01:00Dear Ziegenpeter, why not name her Baerly or Schnu...Dear Ziegenpeter, why not name her Baerly or Schnucki, after Heidi's favourite goats?<br /><br />You are doing a grand job and what an old softie you are. You do know, of course, that once you have named an animal you will not eat it. Though I wouldn't put anything past you.<br /><br />How cute (the goat, not you).<br /><br />Greetings from the Alm,<br />UUrsulahttp://bitchontheblog.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512022050229968490.post-61453553435447644552012-09-08T01:03:05.619+01:002012-09-08T01:03:05.619+01:00Since she follows you around all the time, i kept ...Since she follows you around all the time, i kept thinking "Mary had a little lamb..." but Mary sounds so ordinary.<br /><br />I like Gwen or Tabitha.<br /><br />Doesn't anyone there use goat's milk? <br /><br />Or, in keeping with John's theme of alliteration, Gilly.megan blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555646904983619596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512022050229968490.post-49938602078266490672012-09-07T22:12:35.509+01:002012-09-07T22:12:35.509+01:00Brenda.

Now your sweet little goatlet is of course female so I suggest a lady name beginning with G. Take your pick from:-<br />Gladys the Goat<br />Gabby the Goat<br />Gwendoline the Goat<br />or<br />Gail the Goat.<br />My favourite would be Gabby. I will be overwhelmed with pride and gabbitude if you stop acting the goat and choose one of my suggestions.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512022050229968490.post-85751096046000874142012-09-07T16:44:28.758+01:002012-09-07T16:44:28.758+01:00Beryl?
