Little Jim Comes Down to the Goat Pen

It was a big day on Tuesday of this week.
Little Jim made his first trip to the goat pen.
He only came down for a short visit since he was only two days old.
The publicist didn't want to overwhelm him with our, erm, enthusiasm.


Sarah the goat was very nervous too.
She didn't want to let little Jim out of her sight.
But Jim did not care!

He had a whole new world to explore and explore he would!
He took off to see what he could see.
His nanny was never far behind....

The goat house was his first place of exploration.
Just WHAT was that thing?

As he was going to look inside he got distracted and he never made it in. I am sure he will eventually.

He took a trip AROUND the goat house.
Silly Jim!

Kids just love to see what is what, don't they?

Then he saw the spools.
I am sure he will be hopping on them before too long!
It almost looks like Sarah is trying to pull him back.

Then it was back for some goat yoga.
Can you believe it? Goat yoga already!
He needs some work on his form but that will come.

Hey, that is not nice!
I am only giving my opinion.

Then it was some prancing and posing.
And then he saw it.


The log!
He LOVED the log.
He tried and tried and tried to hop on the log but this is as far as he got.

Silly Jim. You are only two days old!
Give it some time.
Like wait until you are at least four days old or something!

Then like all kids it was time for a nap.
Sleep well, little Jim. Sleep well.
More adventures await!

Farm Cat Friday - Explorer Cat Harry

Shocking things are happening in the publicist's house.
Shocking!
Harry the Farm cat is causing all kinds of trouble.
It's true!


You know he has been exploring the walls around the yurt.
Well! He has decided to jump down from the walls and explore the shelves in the kitchen.

Silly Harry!
The male person was not happy about this.

He stopped to give Harry a talking to.

Not that it did much good.
Harry was going to do what Harry was going to do.

He checked out the shelves from one side....

To the microwave on top of the refrigerator.
Then he decided he had done enough exploring for one day and he jumped!

Back up on the wall to get back down on the floor.
Silly Harry!

Explorations

We are very fortunate goats here on the Happy Goats Farm, at least the girl goats are; we have a very large goat pen. In fact, half of the time we don't use all of it. We just stay to one side of the garden. Our pen, though goes all the way around to the other side of the garden and it is full of nice green grass and tasty weeds. Granted the garden is full of yummy spinach and tender lettuces right now but we can't go there. Drat!

Yesterday we all decided to explore the far reaches of our pen. I think it was the chickens that did it. They were exploring over there eating grasshoppers so we all thought we would go and check things out. We had not been there in a bit so the grass has grown quite tall. It almost looks like we are all stealth grazing, but we are not.

It will take us quite a while to eat all of this yummy grass down. Isn't that a shame?

Of course Abby wasn't satisfied with the tasty greens in the pen and she had to try and get to the supposed greener grass on the other side of the fence.

And what do you think that little white thing is there hiding in the tall grass?

Why Kevin of course!

Soon we had our fill and started heading back to the regular part of our pen. I know we will be going back for more of the delicious grass tomorrow. Burp!

What is this picture you ask?

Yes, it is Kevin nursing. The poor male person has been so busy he hasn't had time to clean out a kid pen for him in the barn so I still have my baby with me for a little longer.

Be sure to tune in tomorrow for my first Goatucation post where I answer Daisy The Curly Cat's question - how long will it take before Kevin is full grown? Keep the questions coming, I love to answer questions!!!!
