The Tree-t Goes On

Well, to maaaa you the truth the tree-t is gone but the publicist didn't use the photos fast enough so I'm still catching up. We ate that tree-t FAST,

It was yummy.
We wish we had more.
But there is only as much as there is.

I must maaaa that Harley the goat truly enjoyed his very first tree-t.
He got right into it.
Literally.

He doesn't even let the presence of AbbyGoat stop him from nomming on tree-t
That really maaaas something.
I don't mess with her....

His nanny soon came to make sure Abby wasn't messing with him.
That tree-t sure sees a lot of action!

I will have a big announcement about the blog tomorrow so be sure to stop by.

Show 'em AbbyGoat

The very first day the Tree-t came into the doe pen a certain goat made sure it knew who was boss.
Of course we all know who that was, don't we?


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

Who else BUT AbbyGoat!?!

I'm a Winner!

Not Pricilla.
Me - AbbyGoat.
The publicist entered the BlogPaws Photo Contest for December.
She sent in two pictures.

One of the utterly glorious ME.
And one of one of the stupid Farm Cats.

She heard today that MY photo won.

Of COURSE it did.
I'm AbbyGoat.
How could I NOT win?
Pffffft.

Wordless Wednesday - You Will Be MINE

AbbySnowGoat?

I will tell you none of us were very happy Sunday in all of that snow.
But somegoats AbbyGoat were especially testy.

They did nothing but bark and bellow at the weather.
As if that would make things change.
I will maaaaa you something - the Goat Stare of Death does not work on Mother Nature.

Yes, I am sure about this.
So don't go giving it to me either.
I cannot do anything about the snow or cold.
And trust me - I do not like it either.

You know you don't have to hang your head out like that you silly girl.
You can tuck it inside your goat house.
The publicist did bring nice new, warm hay down to line all of them for us.

So be like Bernadette the goat.
Be smart.
You can do that, can't you?

Christmaaaaa Carols - Oh Piney Tree, O Piney Tree

AbbyGoat here. I know you have not seen much of me lately.
I don't know why.
If you ask me I should be on this stupid blog EVERY day.
But PFFFFFT.

Today I am bringing you the first in this year's series of Christmaaaaa Carols so please enjoy -
O Piney Tree (sung to the tune of O Christmas Tree)

O piney tree, o piney tree
Thy needles are too far away

O piney tree, o piney tree
Thy needles are too far away

I use my chin to drag them near
So I can grab a bite so dear.

O piney tree, o piney tree
Your needles are so far away.
But I will win and eat them now
They taste so good, I'm like a sow.

O piney tree, O piney tree
Your needles now are in me.

O piney tree, o piney tree.
Your needles now are in me!*

*with all due respect to Tom T. Hall

Nom, Nom, Nommmmity, Nom

Mmmmm, grain.
Mmmmmmmmmmmm.

Munch, munch, munchity, munch.
Mmmm, hay.

What are you looking at?
A goat's gotta eat!

I have to keep my goatish figure!

WE FOUND IT!

We did!
We found the secret!
And if you are very, very nice to us we will let you know what it is!

You DO want to know what it is, don't you?
Or do you want us to keep it all to ourselves?
Bwamaaaahahahahaha!

We are a little afraid of that AbbyGoat.
You have seen her Goat Stare of Death, right?
Would you want that facing you?

I did not think so!
So we wanted to be sure that it was OK to share the secret.

So we asked Pricilla.
She is nice.
She does not Stare at us.
Even if we play around her hooves.

She maaaaed we could tell....the chickens?
WHAT?
How does telling the chickens get the info to all of you?

Pricilla maaaaed that once you tell a chicken a secret it is no longer a secret.
Those birds can't keep their beaks shut.
That way AbbyGoat would not be mad at us!
She is a very wise goat.

So what is the secret and why do the chickens have on their party hats again?

Do Nick and Nora Know Something?

PSSSST!
I know things.
It's true.

When AbbyGoat and Bernadette the goat were whispmaaaa -ring the other day I heard what they were maaaing.
I did.
They thought they looked out real good but they didn't see me. Or Nick

We were off to the side.
You can see how surprised I look.

Bernadette tried to act nonchalant.

AbbyGoat went about doing goat yoga.

BUT I KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON!

ps: AbbyGoat is not pregnant. She is retired.

Plotting?

Oh Bernadette?
Can you come over here a minute?
I have something to maaaaa to you.

Why should I do that?
You usually butt me!
I don't think I trust you.

Please? I promise.
I will be nice.
I have a secret to maaaa to you.

Oooooh, a SECRET?
I love secrets!
What is it?

OH MY GOAT!

That is a good secret.
I suppose I can't maaaa to the others?
I figured.
OK. I'll keep your secret.

For now.

It Was That Kind of Day

You know the kind I'm maaaaaing about.
The kind where you just want to sit and bask in the sun.
Especially since the sun is going away for a few days.

So I just stretched out and basked away.
It was very nice.
This extended summer weather has been very nice.
I will be sorry to see it go.
But all good things must come to an end.

AbbyGoat does not believe me.
She thinks it is going to stay sunny.
Well, she'll find out soon enough.
She enjoyed basking today too.

I don't think any of us are going to be happy tomorrow.
The lovely 76° afternoons are going to give way to rainy 50° days.
I think AbbyGoat is trying to "Goat Stare of Death" the weather away.
I do not think that will work.

I do know one thing.
Little Nora will be happy.
No matter what she is a happy goat.
She love to be pet.
She loves the publicist
She is a very sweet little goat.

SomeGoat is a LazyGoat

I am not naming names because I do not want to get butt.
But SomeGoat around this Farm is a LazyGoat.
Why do I maaaaa this?
Look!

How lazy is it sit on one's chubby butt and eat their hay?
I mean, REALLY?
The publicist should put this on her Facebook page in her ongoing "REALLY" series.

AbbyGoat I mean LazyGoat just sat there eating and eating and eating.
Until she stopped.

To burp!
You can see she still has hay on her face.
But it didn't bother her.

She just went back to eating.
What a piggiegoat!

I'll tell ya, I would never be this lazy.
I have SOME pride.
Erm, I don't like that look.
I think I'll go wander the other side of the Farm.

ps: I have exciting news! The publicist had the very talented Glogirly redo her Twitter page and I am finally included on it. I think this is about time since all of my important goat news goes out on that twitter feed. You should go and check it out - @BrokenTeepee

AbbyGoat Goes a Little Crazy

By now you all know that AbbyGoat seems to think that the deck of the yurt is part of her grazing territory. The male person totally disagrees with this - especially since she tries to snack on his bonsai plants when she goes up there. He does not appreciate her doing this.

Now it seems that she is not going to allow any other goat to explore the deck of the yurt!
Can you imagine such a thing?
Look!


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

I do not recall anygoat - or human for that matter - appointing AbbyGoat Queen of the Yurt!

We're Glad Pricilla Took the #AppleBucketChallege

Do you want to know why?
Although I suspect you can figure it out.
That's right!

'Cause we got apples too!
The publicist would NEVER just give apples to one goat.
She would make sure we ALL got some.

And she did.
She even made sure Bernadette got some.

Poor Bernadette. All the goats pick on her like they pick on Pricilla.
There was only one big problem.
Alex the goat.
He kept butting the publicist to get her to feed him!
She was not happy.
So she locked him up in a pen.

But he still got apples.
She does spoil us!
She just does not like to get butt.

I do not blame her.
Although for some reason she says that I am "pushy."
Pffffft.
Just because I am an erm, assertive goat does not mean I am pushy!

Is it wrong to like apples!
ALL of us like them.

Especially Luke the goat.
The publicist had to count her fingers after she fed him.
He gets very excited about apples.

So we thank Waffles for challenging Pricilla.

Thanks Pricilla for taking the challenge.
All of us thank you!.
You're our hero.
