Has happened twice. My first goat. She was just a few hours old when I first saw her. A purdy little Nubian doeling. It was my second week working on the goat farm. She was born while we were at the sales to a CAE positive dam. She had already nursed by the time we got back and the farm owner was bummed cause she wouldnt be kept as a result of it. Instead she would be sold for meat. I instantly killed that idea and took her home the following day. She lived in the house with me and wore a diaper the first few weeks until I trained her to do her business outside. That takes dedication as we all know how often goats like to do business 
She would take showers with me cause she would rather get wet then wait outside the shower and not be able to see me. She slept in my bed and road around in the passenger seat of my Fiero everywhere I went. She would go to work with me at the goat farm everyday. At about 5 months of age I fixed up the back yard. Built a shelter and pen and brought over a few other babies to live with her. She lived just 7 years before the CAE got bad enough I had to put her down.
I have had a good number of goats that I have loved over the years, but your first is always the best
The other notable love at first site was Legion. I knew he was my first pack goat right off but being born a week early and having his ribs on one side all broken and seeing him stand up and drink from a bottle on the first try inspite of that, I was instantly won over.
