Oh noes!
There was a big fight in the doe pen.
I stayed far, far away.
I am not a dumb goat!
Sarah the goat and that AbbyGoat were really going at it!
You would have thought it was a fight to the DEATH!
Horns clashing!
Eyes flashing!
OY!
The publicist yelled at them to calm down and make up.
At first they ignored her.
But then . . . it seemed as it they might be listening.
They came to an understanding.
I think they even kissed and made up.
Time will tell.
I don't trust these two.
Sisters!
Harhumph!
She thinks she is "all that."
Why you ask?
Well, just look!
Do you see it?
It's not much of one yet but she is growing a beard.
Harumph!
She seems to to think this makes her some kind of head goat or something.
She struts around like she is the only goat to ever grow a beard.
Sheesh!
As if that straggly little thing is even the best beard in the doe pen.
She should just take stock and remember Sarah has quite a beautiful beard.
Long and full
Maybe THAT will put AbbyGoat in her place!
The publicist thinks she is so funny.
She was sitting at her dining room table and she looked out her window and what did she she but....
AbbyGoat stuffing her face.
We were ALL out for a graze but Abby eats like a pig with enthusiasm.
Do you think she could stuff any more grass into her mouth?
I do not.
You will also note that I am nowhere to be seen.
I am not a dumb goat.
When AbbyGoat is hogging the green I stay far, far away.
I do NOT want to get butt.
Sarah and the kids showed up soon - they have more courage than I do.
Those little ones are sure growing big, aren't they?
Won't be long before Jim goes to his new Farm in September. We will miss him. So far Flash does not have a home and Louise will be having her kid in September so it will still be a Farm with lots of fun going on.
And pretty sites to see.
And AbbyGoat....darn.
The publicist made a big mistake.
She left the basement door open!
Oh noes - any kind of riffraff could find its way into the house.
Well, the door DOES say "Welcome."
Does that include goats?
Once a little goat comes into a house it never knows what it might find!
What could possibly make a little goat do the goat stomp?
Come back tomorrow to find out.
Little Jim the goat has mastered that little kid skill....
Nanny surfin'.
All kids seem to do it.
I have no idea why.
He has even tried to surf on ME!
It's true!
I am NOT his nanny so he should not surf on me any more than he should try to access my udder. My udder is MY udder!
Harumph!
He is quite talented though and there is talk of entering him in the Nanny Surfing event at the Goat Olympics this summer. I think he might be too big by then. We will have to see.
He needs some work on his mount and especially his dismount. That looks a bit sloppy if you ask me. He will have to practice, practice, practice if he expects to win a medal.
Bad form does not win gold!
So keep working Jim the goat.
Keep working.
Just stay away from my back and my udder!
As Abby mentioned in her AbbyDay post the publicist let us out for the First Graze of Spring.
Since it was our first time out of the goat pen in a while we were a bit scattered in our "grazing." We were just so very excited to be free!
Of course the male person's wood pile was very interesting to us.
We love bark.
The fiber is good for us.
So we erm, visited it.
To check out it's stability.
That's it!
We were quality control goats!
We would not want the publicist and the male person to use inferior wood, would we?
We would not!
The wood was closely inspected. CLOSELY!
Little Jim took this job very seriously.
It was his first time, erm working.
He climbed to the top.
He sniffed!
He leapt!
He munched!
He nibbled!
He was very thorough.
He is a good kid, that Jim.
He was not the only goat doing his/her job though.
Louise the goat did her best to test the wood pile too!
So much hard work by so many hard working goats.
I hope the publicist and the male person appreciate all of this!
What do you mean we got to have a snack?!
This is WORK people!
WORK.
Harumph!
The mornings have been a bit windy and quite cool so the publicist has decided that little Jim needed to wear a goat coat.
He did not think he needed one - he squealed something fierce when she put it on him.
He does look cute though, doesn't he?
Even if he has learned at a VERY young age to express his opinion.
Very smart kid, that Jim!
He soon adjusted to wearing his stylish little coat and wandered around the pen.
Can you believe how small he looks next to the goat house.
It is hard to believe that kids are so tiny in their first days.
His nanny needs to keep a good eye on him.
At least if he gets lost everyone will know where he lives!
The other goats seem to not recognize him in his coat.
Sarah and AbbyGoat are having quite the goat staredown aren't they?
But Sarah protected her kid. She soon butted them all away and Jim was free to explore and then it happened.
He found his log!
His favorite log!
And on his fourth day of life, SUCCESS!
HE HOPPED ON THE LOG!
He was such a proud little goat he kept running around and around jumping on the log and jumping off.
It's good to be a kid!
Could there be ANYTHING more fun?
