Inspector Goat Michael

It is good to know that all of the goats here on the Farm are looking out for me. Well, I don't know about Abby - I think she is just waiting for me to go on my maternity leave so she can take over the blog. From there I think she thinks she will become the new spokesgoat for Happy Goat Soap. But I know that is not going to happen. I won't let it. But I digress. Today I am going to tell you how nice Michael the goat was to inspect my new pen and make sure it is safe for me and the new kids. Isn't he a nice son?

He insisted on going into the barn with the publicist to check things out when he saw that the male person was done with my new digs.

He looked over the construction.

He checked out my sleeping bench.

He dutifully made sure my hay feeder was A-OK. I think he might have taste tested my hay!

He even looked over my water bucket. He was VERY thorough!

I am so glad that he wanted to do this for me. It makes me feel very safe. Although I already knew that my new pen was perfect. The male person wouldn't build me anything that wasn't! I just think it was very nice of Michael to want to make sure. Although I suspect that the extra grain he received for the inspection was part of why he did such a good job.

Barn Photos

Yesterday I wrote about all of the wonderful changes in my goat barn. Today I have photos so you can see my special "Pricilla only" pen. I am so happy with it! Now when you go in the barn there are four separate pens. This photo shows the doors to Abby's and my pens.

This is my new pen - isn't it nice? I know the photo isn't the greatest but the camera wouldn't take the picture without the flash and the flash made everything look funny. Someday the publicist will learn how to work her camera properly. Not to mention Photoshop. It will hopefully be in my lifetime.....

Here is my spiffy little bench so I can sit up off of the floor. Goats like to be up. It is so we can see all around us and note if a predator is coming; not so important in a barn but instinct is instinct.

This is my own special hay feeder. The male person built it just for me! Now I can eat whenever I want to and not have to worry that Abby will try and butt me out of the way. I can have all the hay I want, or I can have no hay but it is MY choice, not Abby's!

Oh, and I guess I will be a nice goat and show you Abby's new pen too. By default she also has her own pen. This is her bench. ( I think mine is nicer.)

But enough about Abby. I am just so happy now. I can eat and sleep in peace and I know my little goatlings will be safe. I hope you liked seeing my new crib. I can be a hip goat.
