AbbyDay - I Share Mallory's Story of Her Life Here at the Happy Goats Farm

It's AbbyDay and therefore it's the best day of the week.
Today I'm forced I'm delighted to tell you all about Mallory and her time here on the Farm.


She came to us in April of 2009 and we were glad to have a new goat on the Farm. In fact it was an AbbyDay when when she was introduced so I guess it's only fitting that it should be an AbbyDay when we say our final goodbyes.

She was a curious goat and sometimes, yes a bullygoat. But she did keep us on our hooves if not on our spools.

She brought very cute kids to the Farm including Matthew.

Marion - who is still here.

And of course little Kringle who went with her to the new Farm.

She and Kringle went off in the male person's truck to her new Farm and the male person said she looked very happy there. There is lots of land and other goats for her and Kringle to get to know.


Now there is more grain for me.
Bwahahaha!

Kringle Explores the Doe Pen

As I mentioned yesterday, little Kringle won't be with us much longer so I thought you might enjoy some photos of him exploring the doe pen.
I must admit I am going to miss the little guy; it's been fun to have a kid this time of year.


He is in that hopping stage so if he sees something of interest he must of course check it out from all well, levels.
He has lately taken notice of the water bucket holder.

He loves to jump on top of it.
I guess he feels bigger. That or it just smells good. I don't know which.

Sometimes though, he falls in!

With the snow on the ground he comes up with snow all over his little face.

How cute!
I think we will all miss his antics.
But we will have new kids in April so we will have to look forward to that.


Maybe I can watch Brewster over in the buck pen.

Herd News!

I have some news about the herd.
Mallory and little Kringle will be leaving us.
We are sad of course, but happy that they have found a good home.

They will be going to their new Farm on Thursday.
It was a little sooner than the publicist expected and she will miss watching little Kringle grow up.
He is still trying to hop on his nanny.

This is such a cute stage with kids.
He even tries to hop on his sister, Marion.

It always makes her smile.


She will miss Mallory, even if Mallory was a bully goat now and then.
But she is happy that Mallory's new publicist wanted to take Kringle too.

She will get to live with lots of other goats on a great big Farm.
There were just too many goats on our little Farm.
I will have a proper send off for Mallory and Kringle on Thursday.

Kringle Escapes!

That little Kringle!
He has found the hole in the gate that the chickens use to go in and out.
So he went out!
Where did he go?

He went to visit his daddy of course.

I am not sure what they were maaaaaing about, but I am sure Luke gave him some important goat information that only bucks know.

You can see he was listening carefully!


Brewster said MAAAAA! too.

He had fun checking out the buck pen - from the outside; he is too little to go inside.

But then he heard his nanny calling him so he ran back to the doe pen.

But where is the hole?

I know it's here someplace!

Aaaah, back where he belongs eating Christmas Tree-t!

Silly Kringle!

All of us here on the Happy Goats Farm would like to wish you human a Happy Martin Luther King Day!

Shocking Photos!

I hope your eyes are ready for this.
I am going to show you something you have never before seen on this blog.
NAKED KRINGLE!


It's true.
It has finally warmed up enough for Kringle to go out without his goatcoat.
THIS is what he looks like au natural...

What do you think?
I think he is cute.

He was very hard for the publicist to photograph.
Mallory kept getting in the way.
That or he wanted a drink.

We forget that he is still a little kid.
He is fun to have around though.
He makes us laugh.

It is good to have kids around. It keeps us old goats young.
Tomorrow I will show you Brewster and Luke playing!

Kringle is a ReviewGoat! He Reviews His GoatCoats

Little Kringle is being put to work.
I know!
At his young age.
The publicist is a tough one...but I think he will survive.
He got his first taste of grain yesterday.
So without further ado, I turn the blog over to Kringle the goat....


Hi everyone!
Kringle here. I wanted to tell you how much I like my goatcoats.
I am very thankful that the publicist had them made for me.
It's been very cold since I have been born and I think I would have frozen my little tail off if it hadn't of been for my soft goatcoats.

They were made by Texan and they are made of something called fleece.
I tried to eat them but they don't taste good.
Grain is good though.
Mmmm, I had my first taste yesterday and can't wait to have more.
The publicist said if I did a good job today I could have more.
Be sure to tell her I did a good job, OK?


I have worn all four of the goatcoats that Texan sent:
Blue

Red

Green

and even Pink

Just because I am a boy goat doesn't mean I can't wear pink.
I look quite cute in pink if I do maaaa so myself.
I like that they say Happy Goat Farm on them so I know where I live.
It's hard when you are little to remember all the stuff you are taught.


Texan sewed them really well. I can run and hop and play and they stay together. The publicist has washed them all and they don't shrink at all. They still look brand new.


I am very, very happy with them. I like them all but the red is my favorite.


I am very excited to tell you that if you go to Texan's blog you can WIN A GOATCOAT!
Really!
She will even embroider your Farm name or pet name on it.
These coats will also fit a small dog. Just don't let the dog near me.
Texan sells these nice coats too. She will take orders and put your Farm or pet name on them. 


So go on over and check out the giveaway. 
I think all little kids should have a goatcoat!
Bye everyone! Thanks for reading my review. Be sure to tell the publicist I did a good job so I can have more grain!


Disclosure:  Kringle received a little taste of grain for maaaing this review. No one else received any other type of payment writing this post.

A New Little Hopper

You will recall my kid Kevin. He was a little hopper.
He hopped on anything.
He even hopped on me.


Sometimes I still miss him but I know he is on a nice Farm.
Now I wonder if we have a new hopper on the Farm.
Who you ask?


Why little Kringle!
This is what I saw the other day.

Do you see it too?


Little Kringle likes to hop on two legs.
Sometimes he even likes to try and hop on his nanny.

He hasn't gotten there yet but he is trying.
It is nice to be reminded of my kid.

Hop little Kringle, hop!


IF the weather co-operates tomorrow I will have a Brewster update for you.
Keep your hooves crossed that the miserable rain stops.

Christmas Tree-t Part III

Today I bring you the cutest photos of our Christmas tree-t.
Kringle, of course!
This was his very first taste of tree and he really enjoyed himself.


Of course he wasn't quite sure at first what that big green thing was.

But he watched his nanny and me munch on the tree and he soon learned that it was a tasty goat snack.

Mallory, being an older goat dug right in.

Marion took her time but ended up enjoying it very much.

Little Kringle seemed to like the trunk of the tree the best.

He spent most of his time munching the bottom.

Well, fiber is fiber, right?
When he was done munching he then went and had a nice drink of milk.




It's so tough being a kid!


Many of you were so nice to ask about my studmuffin and little Brewster. They did not get a tree but the publicist did cut them some branches from a tree on the lot so they did have some pine to eat.  Thank you for thinking of them.


Tomorrow the tale of the Christmas Tree-t finishes up with AbbyDay!

Kringle Learns to Eat Hay

I am back!
The publicist is feeling a little bit better so she let me use the computer today.
It snowed all day!
I was not a happy goat.


That is why I am going to show you some photos of the last sunny day we had.
I like to think of sunny days.
I don't like this snow stuff.
Harumph!


Little Kringle was basking in MY basking spot.

I gave it up to him because I am a good goat.
But he decided he wanted to explore a bit.


He went to the front of the goat house.
There he encountered his Nanny.

What did she do?
She licked him, of course!


He also noticed something exciting IN the goat house.
HAY!

He had to go check that out.
He was learning that hay was good to eat.

He went in there to see what he could nibble.
His nanny was trying to hog all of the hay but he is a smart little kid.

He got right under her and starting eating that tasty hay.


How do I know this you ask?
I know this because I took back my basking spot.

And I spied on him.
I am not a dumb goat.
Not at all!

AbbyDay - I Give Kringle an Idea

It's AbbyDay! I am here to tell you that it is about time that the focus on this Farm returned to where it belongs.
To ME!


Therefore I am showing something to little Kringle.
There is a gap at the gate.

It's not big enough for a big goat to fit through.

But it is big enough for a little goat to fit through.
Do you think he will go?
Bwahahahaha!


Then it will be back to a Farm without a cute kid.
It can be all Abby, all the time!

Escape little Kringle, escape!
The whole wide world awaits.


But if I know the publicist she will notice and just bring him back.
Drat!
What can I do next?


I do want to wish all of you humans out there a Happy New Year. Pricilla will be taking tomorrow off from blogging because she is old and lazy it is a holiday. She will be back on Sunday with a new post for the New Year.

Kringle Discovers the Water Bucket

Today I show you the very first video of little Kringle.
In it he discovers the water bucket.
Exciting stuff, huh?



Just look at that tail wagging!
Kids are cute, no denying that.
No matter what they are doing.

Kringle Spends the Day Outside!

I hope you all had a very nice weekend.
I know I did.
It was full of rest and apples and SUNSHINE.


Yes, you read that correctly.
We had some sun.
It was so nice to see.


Since the sun came out the publicist decided that little Kringle should spend the day outside.
It was still chilly so he kept his little coat on.
He is a smart little kid.
The first thing he did was go to my favorite basking spot and sit down.

Hmmm, now I could not bask.
But I guess it was in a good cause.
Mallory and I looked out for little Kringle.
You know how I like to protect the new kids.


Mallory kept a good eye on him.
She is also licking him up a storm.

New nannies want to make sure they keep their kids clean!


Kringle is even starting to nibble some hay.

But most of all he like to nap.

There isn't much better than napping in the sun, is there?
Kringle enjoyed his day out in the doe pen but he was also happy to get back to the barn and to his heat lamp.


There will be lots of pictures of the new kid on the Farm this week plus an update as to how Brewster is faring in the buck pen.


I hope all you humans had a wonderful Christmas. 
We goats were treated quite well. 
We had apples all weekend long!
The publicist and the male person said we deserved them because we are such good goats.


Smart humans, they.
