Life in the Philippines - Goats




I tend to wait til I have time to do a larger post and something fairly important to say.....and then it works out that I never get around to posting. So I will be doing random posts of what life is like here, things we are working on, etc.

My first post is just a quick one on goats....

I never really cared for goats one way or the other til I moved here...now after being around them I kinda like them. The babies are absolutely adorable prancing around and acting like they will butt you, and the adults are kind of fun watching them being curious to whats going on with the humans around them.

The goats here tend to be smaller than the ones I saw in Michigan...the adults only grow to about knee high, maybe slightly higher.

Anyway I have to get back into the shop so heres some quick pics of some local goats.

Update on the Blog

I got so busy I wasn't updating the blog....then to be honest I totally forgot I had a blog until I was updating the website.

In the past I was posting Ecos Knives business related subjects here, but that gets to be a dry subject so what I will do is post the important Ecos Knives news on our "Ecos Knives General News" page, and the blog will be used as for less important news and things going on in our personal lives. Posts will be about blades we are working on, some behind the scenes business stuff people generally don't see, and what life is like in the Philippines, etc.

This will give us more content to post here, which hopefully will get me more motivated to keep up with it!

I spent today making and updating some new pages for the website so I won't do much blogging for a day or two but I plan on eventually doing a few blog posts a week.

To see the new/updated pages on our site click on the following links:

As always I am very thankful for our devoted customers. The vast majority of our sales are from repeat customers and since to date we do almost no marketing (and no paid marketing at all) most of our new customers are from word of mouth.....people telling friends about us, posting on forums, youtube, etc. We really, really appreciate you all taking the time to do this!

Thank you,
