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.

Louise and Harley go out for a Walk

Little Harley is really getting back to normal.
We are all happy to see him acting like a kid should act.
You can see him and his wonky run in this movie.


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

He is even starting to butt heads with Nick the goat.
It makes the publicist smile to see it.

Is That HARLEY?

Could it be?
Is that little Harley in the mulch pile?

IT IS!
It's so nice to see him out and about and having fun.
He's starting to run, albeit a little wonkily.

His nanny still keeps a close eye on him.
She takes good care of him.
The publicist is happy he is doing so well.

Nick and Nora keep him on his little hooves.
That's for sure!
He's even starting to butt back!

Hooray for Harley!

What?! No Ear Freckles? How Can That Be?

The publicist was sratching little Harley under the chin when she noticed something shocking.
As an aside little Harley just loves to be scratched under his chin.

Unlike EVERY other goat on the Farm he does not have ear freckles!
His ears are all black.
No dusting of white.

Could Louise have licked it all off?
ALL of us have ear freckles.
I have them, Luke has them, even AbbyGoat has a few.

What could this mean?
Should I be concerned?
Louise is looking a bit worried there, isn't she?
What does she know?

Hmmmmmm.....

Louise! Be Careful!

Little Harlequin had just settled down to munch on a bit of cabbage when Harry the Farm cat came into the goat pen. This made Louise the goat a bit nervous. It was not good for little Harley.....just watch!


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

Poor little baby goat.
He was OK though.
Just a little scared.
I would be too if Louise stood on my foot!

Special Sunday Edition - A New Member of the Herd

Louise the goat had her kid!
I a sure it comes as no surprise to anyone that it is a buckling.
Or that it is a cowgoat.
He came around 11PM so the publicist couldn't take photos until today.
The little guy was taking a drink when she went in this morning.

Louise was not at all happy about staying in the barn like the publicist usually does when a kid is first born. She was shaking and maaaaing and very upset so the publicist brought them down to my pen. That way they wouldn't have to worry about all of the other goats trying to surround him. Of course I wanted to lick him.

Just a little.

But Louise wouldn't let me.

Thelma and Alex weren't sure what to make of him.

He is very cute, isn't he?
All kids are cute.
He has three black legs, one white leg, three white socks and one black sock.

The publicist hasn't named him yet
She says he looks a bit like a harlequin clown.

Someone else suggested he looked like a jester.
He looks a touch surprised at that suggestion, doesn't he?

So she is going to leave it to you all - is he Harlequin (Harley for short)?

Or is he Jester (Jessie for short)?

Louise really doesn't care. If she wants him she just calls, "maaaaaaaaaaaa!"

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.
If you want to see her #IceBucketChallenge #AppleBucketChallenge you can check it out HERE

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

I Want THAT Piece

Since things are drying up there is not much around to eat around here but hay.
The publicist has been giving us plenty of yummy hay to munch.
I am glad that I have my own hay bucket because those other goats are a little crazy.

You don't believe me?
Watch!

AbbyGoat and Louise were sharing the hay bucket in their pen.
I know this is rather shocking.
AbbyGoat usually does not share anything.
But Louise had been there first.

They seemed to be doing just fine.
Eating almost peacefully together.
But then they seemed to want the exact same piece of hay!

It got a little ugly.
You see AbbyGoat's furs?
She was a little mad.
Then she got a lot mad.

THAT is not nice AbbyGoat!
But it IS AbbyGoat.
Isn't it?

Those Other Goats Think They Beet Me Out

Those other goats think they have something over on me.
They think that since I got my greens first that their beet greens will last longer.
They are not too smart, are they.

I don't really care about those does but doesn't my studmuffin look cute?
I could watch him eating greens all day long.
You can't have him - he's mine!

Of course AbbyGoat hogged had her share
She never misses a treat!

Louise is eating for two (or three?) so the publicist made sure she got her fair share.
A soon to be nanny goat needs her vitamins!

Poor little Bernadette.
She is low goat in the pen so the others pick on her.
She had to run and hide to get her greens
But the publicist made sure she had her very own pile.

Don't worry about Thelma the goat either. She had a nice big pile too.
The publicist just didn't get any good pictures of her.

I wonder what will come out of the garden next?

It's Yoga Time

You would never guess that Louise the goat is pregnant.
She leads the daily yoga sessions in the goat pen.

She starts us off easy.
You have to warm up you know.
Then she goes on to the more stretchy stuff.

I think she really wants to teach ballet.
What do you think?

Bernadette has great style, don't you agree?
I think she needs a tutu.

ALEX!
What are you doing?

You do not make up moves on your own!
You are supposed to follow along!

That is better!
Excellent form!

What? I'm supervising!
I CAN TO see with my eyes closed.

Louise the Goat is Looking Good!

Louise the goat is really looking good.
She is going to have a kid in September but she is quite fit.

She is eating right.
Lots of green weeds and fresh grass.
Of course the publicist makes sure she eats her grain and gives her some apples now and then.

Mmmm, apples.

Louise goes out for nice walks everyday.
But what really keeps her in shape is her goat yoga.

She is remarkably limber for a goat so far along.
I am impressed. How about you?
I know I cannot move like that any longer.

I am very proud of my grandkid, Louise the goat.

I can't wait for another great grandkid to be playing on the Farm.
What do you think - buck or doe?
Bwamaaaaahahahahaha!

"The Grass is Always Greener...."

The publicist does not understand us.
She let us go grazing up by the road.
When she does this she makes sure to watch us very carefully so we don't try and go visit the horses across the street.

What she doesn't understand is our trying to answer the QUESTION
What QUESTION you ask?
The very FAMOUS QUESTION - Is the Grass Greener on the Other Side of the Fence?

We like to try and answer this QUESTION.
Bernadette maaas, "is that grass greener?"

Thelma maaas, "is that grass greener?"
If not the grass, the weeds anyway!

Louise maaas, "is that grass greener?"
Is that you Louise?

Louise and Bernadette maaa, "is this grass greener?"

They all maaaa in response, "YES!"
Otherwise why would we bother to stretch!

I guess that answers the QUESTION!
