Yoga: The Pretzel

This is Muffin.  She has been newly crowned the "Queen of Yoga."



Here she is demonstrating the very difficult pretzel.



Need a closer look?



Finally, she begins to unfold again.  (That's Annie admiring her technique.)


Deep breath out. Namaste.

Linking to Farmgirl Friday.

Haley and Harley

The warm weather has the young goats feeling frisky.  Haley and Harley were having a fun little sibling spat.






It's nice to see sisters get along so well.

All Goats Go To Heaven

It's true you know.  All goats go to Heaven.  It has to happen sooner or later one way or another.  We just sent our wonderful goatie sister, Cutie, to the ultimate forever farm.  We got lab results back, and the reason Cutie had such achy joints was CAE.

Cutie
If you've never heard the story of how we came to live with the human at Eden Hills, she got us when we were very, very young and sick-coccidiosis, frost bite, and infections.  Now she knows the last of the health problems we came with.  CAE.

Me

I will be nine-years-old in a couple of weeks.  I'm happy.  I love my life and my herd and my human.

Myson

I do have days though when my lungs rattle, and I get a bit tired.  Now the human can quit that hovering and asking if I'm okay and what's wrong with me.  Now she knows.


I do plan on enjoying every day that I have left here, and if the winter isn't too bad, I might even make it to my tenth birthday!

Now, don't give me sympathy because you'll start my goofy human to crying again.

Nice Things

The human says all the time, "This is why we don't have nice things!"







I think she's exaggerating.  How about you?

Playful

Some big Marley goat was kind of wound up and wanting to play with the human.











She wasn't too sure about it.  Did she actually think Marley would be naughty or something?  Really, he's a sweet boy.

Of Gods and Goats

Despite the drop in temperatures today, I was really hot again this morning.  It was horrible!

Every time I went to visit with Boeris, I started shivering, and he was just ignoring me!



I can't believe it!  Well, the human said I should just forget about Boeris.  She had a better solution for me.  Then she gave me the book Of Gods and Goats by V. L. Locey.



I started reading, and it's a book about a goat farming lady and her beautiful Saanen goats and she has a pet steer.


Hay!  Is this book about my human?  Well, I haven't seen any handsome Greek gods around here, but I was feeling much warmer after reading this book!  It almost started the ice melting again.

Disclaimer:  I received a copy of this book by winning a giveaway hosted by the very nice author.  The human didn't let me have it because she wanted to read it first.  She must have liked it since she recommended it to me.  I gained nothing from this but the warmth of a romance.  I didn't even get the glass of wine.
