Pepper was our pet goat. She came to us in late March of 2006 along with her two babies that were almost 2 months old. She had not been well cared for and we couldn't get near her. Eventually she learned to trust us and loved to be petted and brushed. However, she always remained a very shy girl. Pepper had to get to know you before she would come to you. After you gained her trust she wouldn't leave your side.
She was leash trained, but did not like to leave her enclosure much. She was always very nervous when we would take her out and it seemed she just preferred to stay where she felt safe. I don't know if this was just her nature or if she was mistreated at some point before coming here. She liked to play with Sugar and lay around on her spool watching everything. I would make the girls a weakened version of Kool Aid when it was hot and they would run around with red lips. Pepper loved Kool Aid. She didn't miss anything that went on. She was extremely alert and very smart. She was an excellent mother, she watched her babies constantly.
We believe Pepper was probably a Nigerian Dwarf/Pygmy cross. We are unsure exactly how old she was, but she was an adult when we moved to the area in 2003. We used to stop and visit her at her prior home.
In June 2014, we lost Sugar suddenly. Pepper seemed okay, but I spent a lot more time with her. We got another goat to keep her company, it took a little time, but they finally became friends and started to play together.
On the morning of December 10, 2014, Pepper had what the vet believed was a stroke. We had her put to sleep. She had never been sick and was fine the day before.
We were informed that the Arbor Day Foundation received a donation in honor of Pepper from our vet. A tree will be planted in the Superior National Forest in her name.
Pepper was buried at our neighbors farm with Sugar.
