Candy has learned how to get into the house by pushing down on the knob. When he does, the rest of the herd tends to follow; Hannah says all they want is treats.

One of the Kids on Kerth goats.

Kids on Kerth is the name of the business Tim and Hannah run with their herd. They recently painted this sign onto their barn, which used to be a chicken coop, along with an illustration of one of their goats, Candy — who they call "their escape artist" — opening the door.

Tim Pauk holds Mr. Pickles. Mr. Pickles is the goat they most often take on Goat Grams.

Tim Pauk snuggles Mr. Pickles to his chest while a few other goats approach him.

Hannah Pauk pets her goats in her backyard on Kerth Road.

Mr. Pickles likes to sit in this blue chair in the backyard — though Tim and Hannah Pauk laugh that the chair is at an awkward angle for their goats.

Mr. Pickles stands on a toy slide. At two, he's the youngest of the herd.
