goat coat!

[nmred]

Our goat, Charlotte, was shivering this morning. Not really a surprise since we had -5 temperature! Wanted to make her a coat to help her keep warm. My DD had the brilliant idea of using on old zipped-up sweatshirt jacket (size 2X). We cut off the hood and part of the sleeves. Put her front feet in the sleeves and zipped it closed. Works great! But she seems to be wondering what the heck it is. Too funny!

Sounds perfect but where's the photos?!

Thanks! I am pretty proud of my daughter. It really was a good idea. Only...now it's snowing, and guess who is standing out in it? Yep, the goats. Charlotte's coat is going to get wet and then won't do her any good I'll probably have to go down, take it off her, dry it, and then put it back on for tonight. It's supposed to get down to -18 Ahhh, the joys of owning goats!

I put homemade pj's on my week old's last nite, except for the poor boy, but they did great, had to take one off today cause it was wet, that's the worse thing about them, they get wet, then freeze and then I have bigger problems, I just put them on them at night, they are all in the kiddy stall.

I use stuff like that for the alpacas but I have the zipper going across the back instead of the underside. the alpacas won't stand long enough to try to zip underneath.
