Rudy, Rudy, Rudy, Rudy!

Little Rudy is just such a cute little guy.
It took her a bit but the publicist has convinced the male person to let her keep him.

I can understand why.
Who could resist that little face?
I think it will be nice to see him grow up.

I am sure AbbyGoat will be happy to have another one of her kids on the Farm.
Eating weeds and just generally causing trouble.

What? You don't believe that little Rudy can cause trouble.
Just look at him!
No kid is THAT sweet and innocent.

Even the publicist knows he is a little devil sometimes.
But she still loves him.

Goat Stare of Death notwithstanding....

AbbyDay - I Show You How Cute My Kids Are

It's AbbyDay, the best day of the week. And I have the best kids in the world - because they are AbbyKids!

The last few days it has been warm and sunny.
I approve.
But before it was warm and sunny it was cold.
Cold enough that Ricky and Rudy were shivering.
This worried the publicist so she put them in goatcoats.

Personally I would find wearing a goatcoat embarrassing but I suppose it is better than being cold.
I must admit that they did look very, very cute.

Don't you think?
Rudy the goat is still teeny tiny but he is feisty. He is first to go anywhere!

In fact he jumped on top of the hay feeder in his goatcoat and kept Mick and Keith at bay. They are a week younger than he is and yet they are both much larger. He didn't care. He did not let them jump up.

He OWNED that hay pile!
He (and I) was very proud!

After he won the battle he jumped down and got a snack.
He still hasn't learned to not eat IN his food.

He has though, learned the Goat Stare of Death.
That's MY boy!

Little Ricky was not to be outdone, but I think he was not happy with the COLOR of his goatcoat.

But buckly bucks wear pink.
Right?

Hey, if it keeps them warm they do!
Be proud, Ricky - wear that pink like a BUCK! (Even if you are a wether.)

You are still a toughbuck!
I promise.
You are an AbbyKid!

Show them!
You know what to do!

That's right - the Goat Stare of Death.
They're my boys!

Neither one has to worry any longer now - the weather has turned and there should be no more need for goatcoats. We are ALL happy about that!

The Further Tales of the Adventures of Bruce and Clarence the Goats

You saw yesterday that two small goats were not where they should have been.
Two tiny, little, mischievous goats.
Silly Bruce and Clarence!

How did the publicist know that they had escaped?
Louise the goat was BELLOWING!
Maaaaa, maaaaa, MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
She was NOT HAPPY!

But Bruce and Clarence were...

INTREPID EXPLORERGOATS!

A whole new world to see.
A new playground to break in.
Little did they know that there was always a watchful eye on their games.

Little Clarence loved playing on the male person's old tires.
Until he didn't!
Then he realized the milk bar wasn't available.

Where is the milk bar?

Little Bruce was having a fine time of his own until he saw something strange in the driveway:

what is that creature with the black box on its face?

Maaaaamaaaaaa!
He was soon bellowing as loudly as his nanny!

Maaaaamaaaaa!
I want my MAAAAAAAA!

Where is my MAAAAAA?!
Maaaaa?
Is that you?

Aaaaah, soon all was right in the little kids' world.
The milk bar was found.
Louise nor Bruce had to bellow.
They were all together as a family.

Louise kept them close for the rest of the day!
And gave them The Goat Stare of Death for escaping in the first place.

Baaaaad Bruce and Clarence.
Baaaaaad kids!

Silly Sunday - The Goat Stare of Death

I could not believe it.
His nanny could not believe it.
The publicist could not believe it.


But it was true.
We have kept it hidden until today...


But on HIS VERY FIRST DAY OF LIFE

Little Jim the goat gave the Goat Stare of Death.
Beware people.
Beware Jim the Goat!


I think we are all in trouble here.


The male person says thank you for all of the very nice birthday wishes.
He had a delightful day and a delicious dinner.

The Boys Get a Share of the Tree-t

You will recall the Christmas Tree-t.

Of course we does shared with the bucks!
We would not keep it all for ourselves.
Oh-no!
We are not like that.

We sent some over to the boys.
Ah-hem.

Buster Brown was not sure about this as he had not seen Christmas Tree-t before.
He gave it a good sniff.

Then he gave the publicist a look as if to maaa, "what the devil is this stuff?"
Soon his daddy, Luke the goat was in the pen with him.


Now Luke the goat knows all about Christmas Tree-t!

He checked it right out.

He gave it a good sniff and a good butt. Soon his horns smelled like pine instead of like buck. It was a vast improvement according to the publicist.

He then started munching away.
He knows good tree-t when he sees it!

But he was getting tired of the paparazzi - it can get to be most annoying to have a camera in your face when you are trying to enjoy a tree-t! Out came the Goat Stare of Death!


Oh noes!


Both boys ended up munching their tree-t and enjoying it very much. 
No one was harmed by the Goat Stare of Death.
Whew!

AbbyDay - I am Glad to be Back!

I am very glad to be back with AbbyDay.
I cannot believe that the publicist let those cats have the blog for two whole weeks.
That was two Fridays where you had no Abby.
How did you all survive?

Well, I am back now and as perfect as ever.
I am getting closer to having my kids which means I will be on maternity leave soon.
I don't know what you will do!
MORE Abbyless Fridays.
I feel for you, I really do.


Oh well.
I want to state that I was quite annoyed at Pricilla yesterday.
She made it look like I was trying to steal Sarah's grain.

OK
Maybe I was.
But I am eating for two. Or three.
I don't care if she is too!
Mine are due sooner.


I am one HUNGRY goat.
Did someone say GRAIN?

Oooooh grain!
Yummy, yummy grain.

It's enough to send a goat into an eating frenzy!

Snuffle, snuffle, slurp, slurp, snuffle.

BUUUUUUUURP!
Oh, excuse me!
But grain is just so good.
Aaaaah that was a very tasty treat.

The publicist is so very nice to me and my growing kids.
Hey!

It's more like "chubbyday" not Abbyday!

Who said that?!
I am not fat, I am PREGNANT!
VERY, very pregnant.

If I find out who said that........
Would you mess with me?

AbbyDay - Important Soap News! From ME! Not Pricilla. Nyah Nyah

It's AbbyDay!
My favorite day of the week.
If you ask me EVERY day should be AbbyDay.
Don't you think?


I have very exciting news to announce.
It's about two new soaps for the shop.
They will be available in about a month - the publicist JUST made them.
I am telling you, NOT Pricilla. Isn't that cool?
Pfffft to Pricilla. That's what I maaaaa.


Although I suppose I should be nice. 
I am making this announcement because Pricilla has a big boo-boo on her head.
She got into a fight with Sarah the goat.
She now has iodine head.
heh


But that is not important.
I am important.
The soap news is important.
So here is the exciting news!


The publicist has made a new size bar of soap. It is a plain bar but it weighs 6 ounces!

Doesn't it look HUGE?
It is 2 ounces heavier than the current plain bar.

She has had many requests for a bigger bar of soap so now she is making them.

They have to cure so it will be a while before they are available in the shop.

What scent would you like to see them in?




Any one who answers will be entered into a drawing for one of the very first bars in Tangerine Dream. I won't be able to send it out for a month but I will announce the winner on 3/3 so think about it and put your answer(s) here. You can enter with three different scent choices. Be sure to leave an email address so I can write you if you win! No email - no win, only the Goat Stare of Death!

You don't want THAT, do you?

The second new kind of soap is also a plain bar but it has Apricot Seeds in it so it is exfoliating! It is not too harsh but will provide a bit of rough to help with dead skin cells.

She had an order for small bars for a wedding and will be making more 4 ounce bars as time goes on.

So, are you as excited as I am?
You can still buy all of my Pricilla's current rich soap in my her shop so go and check it out!


I am really excited that I got to tell you and not Pricilla.
I really am NOT excited that she has a big boo boo on her head.
It's not nice to be happy about things like that....right?

Marion the Goat Helps Out

You will recall that the male person asked us to eat up a big weed bush on the Farm.
We are doing our best to help him because he is so good to us.
Little Marion is even doing her best to help the male person.

Isn't that sweet!
Little Marion who can't even reach up to where the leaves are on the weed bush is trying to work to kill it so the male person will be happy.

Amazing.
Especially considering her mother is bully goat Mallory!

She just hopped right over there and started nibbling on the branches.

She was doing a very good job of it if I do say so myself.
And I would know. I am an expert nibbler.

Although it did seem after a while she just wanted to be left to her eating.

I detect the goat stare of death.
Hmmm, perhaps she does have a bit of her mother in her after all.....
