Introductions

So Blogging is new to me, so I am going to do what I do best, I'm going to wing it. 
My name is Kirstin. Not Kierstin, or Kristen, but Kirstin. It is pronounced Curse-tin. 

SHEW! now that we have gotten that out of the way, I will try and expound upon what in the world I am doing with my life at the moment. 
Two years ago, my husband and I moved out to rural Nash County NC. 
I wanted goats, and donkeys, and chickens.... and pretty much any animal that would have me. :) 
I also wasn't sure what I wanted to be when I grew up. (a little late, I am a grown up...) It's fine. So we constructed a fence and searched high and low for some goats. After reading everything I could get my hands on, I settled on Nigerian Dwarf Goats. So we went and picked up 3. (they're herd animals, so they need a buddy-system) 4 more goats later it came to me. I knew I wanted to help people, and I knew that animals have always helped me. I wanted to rescue those animals and provide an environment where they could be happy and safe. I also wanted to provide a facility that would allow those animals to help other people like they help me every day. I wanted to begin a livestock animal rescue and assisted-animal therapy facility. So here we are, in the beginning stages and learning every step of the way. I hope to bring you on this adventure with me through this blog and the new website. (EEEK, I made a website!) 
I'd love visitors and all I ask is that you take as many pictures as humanly possible. 
For the love of goats.
