AbbyDay - I Cannot Believe This

It's AbbyDay, the best day of the week written by the best goat in the world.

I cannot believe this indignity.
I do not believe this happened to me.
Me - ABBYGOAT!

The nerve!

Trust me.
This chicken was not there long.
And it was sorry it tried this.

No one uses AbbyGoat as a taxi!

AbbyDay - I am an Artistic Goat

It's AbbyDay - AND ABOUT TIME AGAIN. I PROTEST HEARTILY THAT ABBYDAY DOES NOT HAPPEN WITH REGULARITY ANY LONGER. I PUT MY HOOF DOWN.

A-hem.
It was a lovely day yesterday and we were all out for a graze.
I decided that I should have my photo taken in a most artistic way.
I made the publicist lie on the ground and shoot up!

She of course, did as I maaaaed.
I am ABBYGOAT and all do as I maaa!
She also pet me.

I am not sure Bernadette understood what was going on.
That is OK - this was all about ME!

ME! ME! ME!
And then she goes and does this!
I am so embarrassed!

Can you believe she took a selfie?
With ME!?!
You can see I tried to avoid it.
After all, I am ABBYGOAT!

Seriously embarrassed.
I am done now.
I hope you don't think less of me.

AbbyDay - I Go WHERE I Want, WHEN I Want

It's AbbyDay - I'm gonna blog no matter WHAT the publicist says. 'Cause I'm AbbyGoat the best goat on Earth!

The publicist has been letting us graze when it's warm and sunny.
There is nothing I like more than a nice graze.
But she keeps trying to tell me where to go.
ME!
ABBYGOAT!
As if!

For example - I decided to go visit the male person while he was drinking his coffee.
It just happened to be up on the deck.

She seems to think I do not belong on the deck.
As if!
He did not seem to mind.

In fact he gave me quite the nice petting.
There is nothing like a good scratch between the horns!

I don't know what's wrong with the publicist.
Maybe she's jealous.
Maybe the male person doesn't scratch her between her horns.

Whatever!
I'm off to explore.

I'm AbbyGoat - I go where I want!

AbbyDay - I Have the Sads

It's another AbbyDay - I think all days should be AbbyDays but the publicist disagrees with me so I guess I have to take what I can get.

As you all know I have not been well.
I was feeling a little better and I maaaed that I was keeping my secrets.
Well, one of my secrets would not stay kept and now I am sad.
My kid is dead.
The publicist and the male person helped it come into this world and they took it away from me.
I don't know where they put it.
I guess that is for the best.
But I will admaaa-t that I am feeling much better since it left me.
I have the sads but sometimes these things happen.

Now the publicist says I have to eat, eat, eat and gain some weight.
She says I am too thin.
She says I have had a rough winter.
I think she is right but don't tell her I maaaaed that.

For now I am enjoying all of the tasty hay she keeps feeding me.
Not to mention the apples.
She keeps feeding me apples to try and "cheer me up."
I do like apples.

I am also enjoying all of the scratches and pets I am getting.
I don't let on but I do like to be pet.
I know - you are probably surprised by this.

I would not though, start spreading rumors that I have gotten soft.
I am still AbbyGoat.

Got it!

AbbyDay - I Celebrate Earth Day

It's AbbyDay - the best day of the week. EVERY day should be AbbyDay!

It's Earth Day and I am celebrating the best way I know how.

By enjoying the Earth.
I live in a very beautiful place.
(Although I am beautiful too.)

The publicist has been letting us out to graze on the beautiful green grass growing out of the Earth.
It comes back year after year.
But we have to take care of our Earth for this to keep happening.
We have to be kind to her.

So I do my little bit.
I don't eat all of the grass completely away.
And I fertilize.
Naturally.....

HAPPY EARTH DAY

AbbyDay - IT'S ABOUT TIME!

I CANNOT believe the publicist took away my day.
Do you think I deserve to be treated this way?
I am THE BEST GOAT ON THE EARTH.
I deserve my own day EVERY WEEK!

PFFFFFT!

The sun came out for a couple of days this week and the publicist (not that I'm maaaaing at her) let us out for a lovely graze.

It was so very nice to eat green grass again.
It was a beautiful day.

I enjoyed my nibbles and munches.
My fur shined in the sun.

I went all over the Farm.
I couldn't help maa-self.
There was so much to eat.

I sampled it all.

After all, I am AbbyGoat!
I am Queen of the Farm!

AbbyDay - The First Graze of the Year

It's AbbyDay - written by the best goat on the Earth.

Oh it was glorious.
Oh it was wonderful.
Oh it was ABOUT TIME!

What you ask?

Freedom.
It was about time I got to run free like AbbyGoat should.
Woo hoo!

I will admaaa-it that there was not much grass to nibble but it was just nice to be out and about.
Hey, what is that?

I wonder if it would taste good?
The publicist is yelling at me.
She says I am not allowed to eat her "book."

What is this "book" thing and why can't I eat it?
EVERYTHING is for AbbyGoat.

She has something else for me.
She says it is better.
She is right!

I like these things called almonds.
I want MORE.
What do you mean there are no more?
What do you mean go and graze?
Pfffft!

What, something else new?
What a day!
This is my first time sniffing Alex.
He is A-OK.
But he would be - he is MY grandkid!

It was a nice day to be out.
I got to taste something new.
The sun was shining

We all enjoyed ourselves - EXCUSE ME?!
GO SNIFF YOUR KID OR SOMETHING!
SHEESH!
I'm going to have to ask Katie for advice on this problem!

I'm going to go back to my pen.
I've had enough of this rudeness!
WHAT? What do you want publicist?
I've had it!

Oh, one more almond?
Why yes, I would like it!
Thank you!

I hope you all have a delightful AbbyDay.

AbbyDay - I Approve of My Grandkid, Alex the Goat

It's AbbyDay - the best day of the week written by the best goat on Earth.

I am very proud of my kid, Thelma the goat.
She did a good job with little Alex.
This time was so much easier for her.
Last time the publicist had to help Mick out but this time Thelma did it all by herself.

And he is one cute little kid!
But he would be - he has MY genes!

We had to spend today in the barn because it was raining.
AGAIN!
This is two days in a row.
I am NOT a happy goat.

But it did not seem to bother little Alex.
Nope, not at all.
He was practicing his hopping and jumping just like a little kid should.
In fact, he is King of his hay pile.
Look:


If you cannot see the movie you can watch it on YouTube HERE.

Isn't he just the cutest little hopper?
I am very proud of my grandkid.

AbbyDay - A Winner and a New Farm Cat

It's AbbyDay - the best day of the week written by the best goat on the Earth.

It's AbbyDay and I am full of news today. First I - yes, me AbbyGoat, get to announce the winner of the Name the New Cow Soap contest. The publicist says she is sorry it has taken her so long to give me the winner but she is the laziest woman on the face of the earth claims she has been busy.

Riiiiight.

If you will recall Pricilla has a new soap in her shop shaped like a cow.
Why she needed this I do not know.
If you ask me she needs another Abby Soap.
One is simply not enough to truly express my wonderfulness.
The publicist says she has this soap in several scents now but they are not all listed in the shop because she has not gotten off her lazy butt to package them claims she has been busy with favor soap orders.

Riiiiiight.

But without further ado the new cow soap is named - Clara!
And the winner is Sharkbytes!
Clara just happens to be the publicist's grandmother's name.
(Sharkbytes if you will email the publicist at kaiminani at gmail dot com she can get your address so she can mail you your prize!)
Thank you to everyone who submitted such cute names.

I am also instructed to tell you that VisitorCat is officially a Farm cat.
The male person took him to the vet yesterday to have his pompoms removed.
The vet thinks he is part Maine Coon Cat!
He weighs 16 pounds and is healthy as far as can be figured out from a vet visit. They think he is about 2 years old. They also think he was in some kind of accident - like the publicist thought too because of the way his tail is shortened and kinked and the way his back end is skinnier than his front end.

He will come home from the vet tomorrow and hopefully stop all of his yowling.
I am sure this will lead to many more entertaining cat adventures.
There will be an intermew with him and we will tell you his name on this week's Farm Cat Friday.

The snow has made some interesting formations on the entry gates to my pen. I think they are in homage to my greatness.

What do you think?
The publicist asked on Facebook but no one answered that they were to salute AbbyGoat!
Pffft! Silly people.

For this being an AbbyDay there was very little AbbyGoat!
So I will end with a photo of ME.

As it should be!

AbbyDay - I Give Mother Nature the Goat Stare of Death

It's AbbyDay - the best day of the week written by the best goat on the Earth.

Hey Mother Nature!
Take this!

See if I care about your snowstorm!

AbbyDay - Munch, Munch, Nom, Nom - Uh, WHAT?

It's AbbyDay - the best day of the week written by the best goat on the Earth.

::munch, munch, munch, chew, chew, chew, nommity, nom::

Oh, I didn't know I had an audience!
It is my breakfast time.
A goat should be able to eat in PEACE!

I know it's AbbyDay and I'm supposed to give you all the brilliance of Abby but I'm HUNGRY.
As you know I hadn't been feeling well.
I'm really feeling better now and I have to gain back all of the weight I lost.

I can't think of a better way to do that than by EATING.
So that is what I am TRYING to do but some publicist is taking my photo.
I am NOT camera ready.

I do not think this is RIGHT.
If she wanted me to be a SuperModelGoat she should have warned me and I would have preened a little.
Sheesh!

So these are the shots she gets.
At least I will soon be back to my fighting weight.
And then I can butt show her!

How would YOU like to be interrupted while YOU where eating?
I rest my case.

AbbyDay: Am I a Valentine Goat?

It's AbbyDay, the best day of the week written by the best goat on the Earth.

I do not know WHAT got into the publicist's head.
She CLAIMS that I was shivering.
As IF I, AbbyGoat would ever shiver.
I am a toughgoat!

Do you believe she did this to me?!
Does she think that I would ever condone such shenanigans?

Even Louise the goat is shocked!
Look at her!

OK publicist.
I have posed for your silly photos.
Yes, of COURSE I look good in red.
I look good in ANY color.
I am ABBYGOAT!

But it is time to end this silliness.
It is time I returned to my natural state.
I am not a wimp goat like Pricilla!

I AM ABBYGOAT!
I do not need a coat!

AbbyDay - Sometimes One's Kid Can Drive One Batty

It's AbbyDay - the best day of the week written by the best goat on the Earth.

As we all have been complaining lately - IT'S BEEN SNOWING.
A lot.
As you saw, we have been hiding in our goathouses.
It was STILL snowing all day yesterday so the publicist put us up in the barn.
It's nice and warm and dry in the barn.

But there are downsides to the barn.
Like having to be in a pen with my kid, Rudy the goat.

He is a little crazy.
He jumps up on the hay feeder.
I don't know what he thinks he's going to find up there.

But he looks...

And he looks....

And he looks!
What a silly goat!

Yes, I'm maaaaing about you.
Get down from there.
It's time to eat.

You cannot eat Thelma and Bernadette's grain from there.
You had your own and half of mine already!
Just get down here!

And eat your hay!

You see what I have to put up with?
You wonder why I want to stay outside?

ps:  Pricilla maaaas thank you for all of the very nice comments everyone left yesterday about the BlogPaws Nomination. She maaas that they made her feel all warm inside.
