The State of the Tree-t

You will recall that the male person cut the Christmaaa Tree in half so we could each have some tree-t.
We have been munching and crunching and enjoying our tree-t.
Look....

...it is quite eaten!
We have done a good job of stripping the needles but we still have work to do.

The other half looks just as naked.

We must have been hungry goats!
At this time of year anything other than hay tastes special.

Really, publicist!
Don't you have something different for us to munch?
We are all getting tired of hay, hay, hay and more hay.

Ok - you are right we do get grain.
But sometimes a goat wants something green.
Or something.....RED.
Got it?

Our First Snow (This Year)

The weatherman was right and he was wrong. We did get snow but we didn't get the 6 - 12" mentioned. About 2" is what covered our goat pen; just enough to hide our hay piles and make everything cold.  But the publicist is very nice and she brushes the snow off of our favorite places to sit.

We ran down from the barn and into our pen and went right to eating our hay. You can see we are over our fear of the upside down goathouse!

Matthew has even started jumping on top! I hope he doesn't fall through again. There isn't another upside down to use.

I don't like the snow so I just tucked myself in the other goathouse. I am not a dumb goat!

Mallory took up residence in the other one.

Matthew, being young, was out exploring. Silly Matthew!

Abby continued to nibble on the logs. Mmmmm, bark.

Luke was enjoying his hay.

But I think he really wanted out!

Stinky the Farm cat was checking out the garden but it was all covered in snow. Silly Stinky.

The view was certainly pretty.

It is supposed to warm up later in the week so all of the snow will melt away. But I am sure we will have more.

Tomorrow:  Wordless Wednesday

Goat Daydreams

Goats get that faraway look in their eyes just like you humans. Especially when we are chewing our cuds. I know you think the whole cud chewing thing is disgusting but when you have the digestive system we have and you eat the rough foods we eat well, accommodations have to be made. You try and deal with four stomachs! But enough about that. The real topic today is what exactly are goat's daydreams?

I of course cannot answer for all goats but I can answer for this spokesgoat. I become Pricilla of the Jungle! That's right - I find myself in the midst of trees and branches and lots of good things to munch. Being a goat it is all about the food. I am sure many of you can appreciate that.

The light is mysterious and the trees cover me as I stalk my illusive prey.


First I get myself into a comfortable position and rub my head against the unsuspecting meal almost like an affectionate hello instead of the beginnings of an attack.

Then I perfect my stance for the big uh, pounce (?). Given my pregnancy I cannot pounce so well any longer but this is a daydream after all.....

Then the pine needles are mine! All mine! Bwahahahahahaha!

They sure do taste good after a diet of hay. It is good to eat different things. I know I get my apples every night but a good munch of dried pine needles are just plain yummy. I have to thank the publicist for letting me roam a bit today and have my fantasy. And the pine needles.

I hope you liked this little trip into my daydreams.
