Who's the Boss of the Driveway?

Every day when the publicist brings Luke the goat down from the barn the chickens are having a bit of a snack in the driveway. Luke has a need to show them just who is boss....


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

Silly Luke!
Those chickens don't need a goat stomp!
But he sure gives them one, doesn't he?

He sure loves the publicist, though.
That or he needs to wipe his nose.

Bwamaaaaahahahahaha!

Who's Playing? Brewster and Luke!

Now that Brewster the goat and Luke the goat have gotten used to spending their days together in the goat pen they have started to play.
It is good for little Brewster to have a big "brother" to teach him the ropes of how to be a buck.

Let's play!

That involves some goat games.
Bucks are pretty funny but I'll show you what they do.
It usually starts with a lot of head bowing.

Then they (at least at this point in time) lightly tough heads.

Just look at the horns on Luke!

Sometimes Luke shows Brewster how to do the goat stomp.

Bucks are very very impressive when they do this.
I could watch my Luke all day when he is showing off.
But you can see that Brewster is not afraid; he is giving Luke quite the look.

Then it is more head butting.

Right now Luke is being somewhat gentle with Brewster but I know that as Brewster gets bigger they will probably have some bigger battles. 


In watching them play we all learned how Brewster got stuck in Luke's horns.
It was during one of their head butting times.
Sometimes after they head butt they then rub against each other.

Brewster's head is a perfect fit under Luke's horns right now.

The publicist figures that as Brewster grows up this will no longer be a problem.
Silly bucks!


Tomorrow:  Kringle escapes!

Matthew Butt Me!

That Matthew! He is growing up and he is getting frisky. His nanny had a date with Luke the goat on Tuesday - I will tell you all about that on Saturday - and Matthew was running around because he missed her. So he decided to take it out on me.

ON ME!
He came over and started to butt me. This is where he got the goat hair that was on his horn yesterday. Silly Matthew!

 I put my head down to him but that did not seem to discourage him at all.

He even did the goat stomp at me.
The goat stomp!

Can you imagine such a thing?!
Who does he think he is? Harumph!
Mallory was watching - with pride I think. Harumph again! But I suppose I would be proud if a kid of mine did the goat stomp at a bigger goat so I guess I understand....

He soon calmed down and went and stood on the stool with his nanny. I am sure she was critiquing his stomping.

Harumph!

Tomorrow: It's AbbyDay!
