The smell of fall is in the air...

Fall is coming... I can smell it.

No - its not the smell of autumn leaves, or the apples that are sitting on the porch waiting to be made into apple sauce.  It's not even the smell of burning leaves...

It's much more obnoxious and offensive... and its coming from one animal.  An animal who is too sweet not to pet, but to stinky to hang out with.   It's Diego, our buck.  He is McKenna's baby, raised with a bottle, slept in our house.  He is now over a year old and thinks he is the most handsome boy on the planet.  He is currently covering himself with the best cologn he can muster - his own urine.  His beautiful, shiny goatee is now covered (as well as his legs and anything else he can reach) with pee.  And the girls love it!  They are calling to him and gazing at him like lovesick teenagers.  And he parades around like no one can resist him.  It's not just the urine that smells.  Buck goats have a very aromatic musky smell that is kinda like cloves, cigar smoke, and mildew all in one.    Lovely... and this will only continue all fall.   I can't wait...
