The Adventures of Clara Jean: A Pygmy Goat with an Attitude

Clara Jean came to us as a rescue mission. Her mother couldn't care for her, so she needed lots of love, and my children were very good at this. The story begins with this fuzzy, tiny, black bundle of cuteness that was a pygmy goat. From day one, she considered herself part of the family-an actual person! And she made my kids her own kids. She wasn't as big as the three-legged family cat, so how much trouble could she be? Well, she certainly taught us! 1. Don't leave her alone at home! Ever! 2. Even goats can teach a human a lesson. 3. If the house door opens, then a pygmy goat will dart right in. The kids chased her back outside, and the kids and goat all seemed to enjoy the exercise. 4. People sit on sofas, but pygmy goats get to JUMP on them! As Clara Jean grew up, she learned lots of ways to entertain her kids...and how to aggravate the adults in her life. What will she do next? This book was written by the author to record and preserve some of the family stories that evolved around her life, including her husband, their five children, and some farm animals. As she related some of the kid-and-creature stories to her own grandchildren, they kept asking for more! The Adventures of Clara Jean are only one of the many stories she has written, but it's certainly one of the family's favorites! Read about Clara Jean's many adventures with her adoptive family in this short story that entails a variety of antics and life lessons learned about pygmy goats and kids.
