African Pigmy Goats And
Guinea Pigs Share Home
My name is Jessica Stauffer. I
am ll'/j years old. I have two
brothers, Matthew, 9; and Evan, 5.
We have 25 African Pygmy goats.
They are smaller than the normal
dairy goat.
We also have 44 guinea pigs.
We have short haired, long haired,
abbysinian, and teddy bear ones. I
have to feed them every day after I
come home from school. I usually
clean out their pens (yuk) every
other Saturday. We have one Per
sian cat It used to live inside the
house, but Mom has asthma now
and she (the cat) has fleas, so now
she lives outside in a large cage.
A couple of years ago I got
appendicitis and had to go to the
Good Samaritan Hospital to get get
my appendix take out I stayed for
one week.
1 think most of school is great,
except for history. We have a dif
ferent kind of history and science
class this year. We have video
teachers on T.V. and the VCR. I
guess since there are three grades
in our one class it gives our teacher
Mrs. Trickett a chance to teach one
grade while the other two watch
the video. I go to New Covenant
Christian School. We have, pretty
much homework unless we get it
done in class. 1 have that and key
board practice to do each night.
I like to cook, type, glpy games
and play outside.
