A Mini Advantage

Opal thinks she doesn't get enough to eat. So look what she does.

Suppose she'll get her head out?

That's the advantage of a little head. She doesn't get stuck.

And as long as you've already got your head sideways, you might as well use the horns for a good scratch with the horns.

Silly Opal.

Where Jelly Went

When the human weaned Jelly, she was with me and a few other mature girls in half the barnyard.

The human made a couple comments about us not letting Jelly eat any grain, and she took her to be with kids her own age. Now she's with Fionn, who doesn't mind sharing his hay.

She's also with Bonnie and Blaze and Victoria.

She's also with Haley and Harley, Cinnamon, and Coral and Clover.

They all seem to get along pretty well up there.

That's good because it's one less kid to have trying to sneak my grain.

I wonder if the human would put those mini goats up there if we didn't let them eat...

A Bird Update and Randomness

Remember the featherbrained peacock that was trying to drink ice? Well, today he got to drink from the pool again.

It was hot. We've been very warm this winter, and I'm even thinking about shedding my coat because it was so warm. The human says it's been hard on us mammals, but she's happy that her old drake, Quackers, is having a mild winter. She's planning a big party for his 13th birthday in May.

Is it me or does she look like a vulture perched up there on that nasty stanchion torture chamber?

Really, I don't think the human will ever get me to go in that thing with a vulture waiting.

The human split all of us goats up into different groups. She has some of us with the different boys, and I'm still in the barnyard. She did however, mess up. There are some geese on my side of the barnyard.

Some of them are on the other side where they belong.

I think she really needs to remove these honkers from my side of the barnyard.

It's that time of week when we link up to Farmgirl Friday.

Muffin and Jelly

This is Muffin and her daughter Jelly. Jelly was the last kid that was born this past June.

That makes her just over six months old. She loves eating with her Maa. After all, hay is very good.

After hay, Jelly enjoys a lovely dessert of Maa's milk. Her tail still wags too fast to even see it.

The human decided it was high time Jelly was weaned, even if Muffin wasn't going to do it.

Now Jelly and Muffin are in separate areas of the barnyard. You should hear them both holler about it.

Featherbrained Peacock

The peacock is not very smart.

Handsome, yes, but smart no.

He thinks he can get a drink of water from the pool.

It's frozen solid!

He can't drink ice!

Silly bird.

Sharing

This is Lotus.

Lotus does not share her hay, not even with kids.

We could stomp on her,

but we just let her think she's tough.

Holy Horn Casts!

Every once in a while the human gets all crazy eyed and starts screeching at someone in the barnyard. It's NOT often, however, that I hear,

"Miiiillllllieeeeeee!"

I don't know why she was so upset.

I told her I wasn't going to quit playing my horns. Is it my fault there's already a big chunk out?

While I'm at it, I guess I'll show you my "three month" picture today.

I only have two more months to go before my baby gets here. Of course, I always go overdue, so it will be just over two months.
