Dateline Mystery/Happy Goats Farm: MYSTERY SOLVED and a #Giveaway

I HAVE SOLVED THE MYSTERY OF THE MISSING HAY!
It's true!
I am an intrepid goat and I was not going to give up until I did!


To celebrate my success I am having a giveaway for my rich soap. I will tell you all about it at the end of my post.


I figured it out when I saw this..

It was THE MALE PERSON who took all the hay!
He moved it so he could bring in even MORE hay.
Isn't he a wonderful male person?!

He went with a friend and brought us 128 bales of hay so we would have plenty to eat this winter.

What would we do without him?
He takes such good care of us!

He and his friend Jim loaded all that hay onto his trailer and then unloaded it into the hay section of the barn.
Now there is so much hay there is no room to climb.
That is a LOT of hay.
Mmmmm, hay.


It is also good to know that none of the goats or my cousin the deer ate all that hay!


So to celebrate I am going to give away THREE BARS of my rich soap.
How do you win?
It's easy!
Just jump on the Rafflecopter!





Disclosure: I am giving away my own rich soap so obviously no one has given it to me!

Dateline Mystery/Happy Goats Farm: Farm Cat Friday - Stinky the Cat Knows Who Took the Hay!

I did not think that the Farm cats had anything to do with the missing hay.
They do not eat hay.
They eat stinky, fishy food.


They do, however spend a lot of their time napping in the hay.
Who knew?
Apparently the publicist did so she told me I should maaaaa to them.
Specifically Stinky the Farm cat.


So that is exactly what I did!
I found Stinky on the scratching post.

We goats do not have scratching posts because we do not scratch but it has given me a brilliant idea; BUTTING POSTS! We goats should have buttings posts!

(No, Abby! I am not your butting post! Shhhh, this is an important convermaaaaation so go away.)

Stinky seemed a bit more interested in cuddling with her mousie toy than in meowing with me. 
I suppose I can understand this.
I would be more interested in apples than in maaaaaing with Stinky the Farm cat.

But just before she drifted off to sleep Stinky gave me a very important clue!
It's true!
And yes, I understand cat.
I am a bilingual goat.


So know I think I can figure out what happened to our hay.
Have you?
I will tell you on Monday and there will be a special giveaway of my rich soap to celebrate the answer so be sure to come back and see!

Dateline Mystery/Happy Goats Farm: Hmmm, Was it My Cousin the Deer?

I am an intrepid goat and I am closing in on the answer to this mystery!
I don't want anyone to worry.
I, Inspector Goat Pricilla will find out what happened to the Happy Goats' hay.


The publicist was outside working the other day and she head a car slowing down on the road. She looked up and she saw my cousin! 
That's right!
My cousin, the mule deer.

This photo is from Widipedia not from the publicist but you can see what he looked like. Although his antlers were not this big.

This was a buck deer and he had antlers.
The publicist always gets excited when she sees one of my cousins with antlers so she ran into the yurt to get her camera.


By the time she came out my cousin was waaaaaaaaay far away in the horses' field across the street.

I know he looks like a big bunny but he is a mule deer.

She took some pictures anyway.
I am glad she did because now I can investigate them to see if my cousin has hay in his mouth! 
Maybe HE is the hay thief!


But for now I will show you his progress.
He ran across the horses' field and then...

...he jumped the fence into the next field!
Boy can my cousin leap!

He then trotted he way through the field.

He was not stopping for anything.
I wonder if he knew he was guilty and he thought I was going to chase him.


What do you think?
I did not SEE any hay in his mouth but the publicist took poor photos.
Stupid publicist!

Almost Wordless Wednesday - Dateline Mystery/Happy Goats Farm: Guilty Goats?

Sarah looks VERY well fed, doesn't she?

Nora SHOULD be hungry...but she's not.

Did one of these two eat all the hay?
Inquiring goats want to know....

Dateline Mystery/Happy Goats Farm: I Start My Investigation

AbbyDay is on hold this week as I start my investigation into where all of our hay went. I will not rest until I figure out this mystery!


Abby is tied up in the barn is always willing to stand down from her day on the blog when necessary. So let's all thank her....wherever she may be.

I put on my thinking cap and it occurred to me that Buster Brown the goat was getting mighty big! He is really starting to fill out and he is taking on some new colors as he gets older. He is looking rather like his nanny, Sarah the goat.

Is that a guilty look?

Could HE have eaten all of the hay?
I know he might look small to you but he is an escape artist!
He is always jumping into the mineral trough, into the mulch pile and out into the yard.
He can also wriggle through a hole in the gate.


Hmmm.
I will have to go and maaaa at him.
Do you think he will tell?


I found him over by the chicken tractor which is suspicious in itself.
Do you know what is in the chicken tractor?
huh, huh?


GRAIN!
I maaaaed and maaaaed and maaaaed at Buster Brown and he just looked at me.

He had the nerve, THE NERVE to look bored! In fact he started to nibble at some weeds and IGNORE me!


I am the head goat!
I am a Famous SpokesGoat!
I am InspectorGoat Pricilla!


Harumph!

He maaaed nothing back to me and then he started to sit down.

There is nothing graceful about a goat sitting down.

Even a cute, little goat like Buster Brown.

He then turned away from me.
From ME!
Harumph again!

So what do YOU think?
Is Buster Brown the culprit?
