The human won't buy us fun boots like Texan found. We have to be more creative to keep the mud from between our hooves, and trust me, that hasn't been easy this year.
Spice shows you where we can stand by the gate where the sidewalk comes into the barnyard. Sometimes, the human comes and pushes the gate open though, and then we have to move (except when Meg makes her climb over her).
Pebbles and Sugar are on the slab of concrete at the end of the sidewalk.
Penny has chosen the picnic table to keep her feet clean and dry.
All the moms were out in pasture, so Jetty volunteered to show us how we stand in the feed pans. There are a lot of feed pans, so this is how most of us try to stay out of the mud. The human doesn't like this because she has to dump all the bits of dirt and mud out of the pans when she feeds us.
Dixie demonstrates the usual kid method of using the pans to stay clean.
Annie has claimed the Queen of the Concrete spot. A girl can get all of her kids on this slab with her. Plus it's right in the middle of the barnyard, so you can see everything that's going on.
Jilly uses the concrete block to keep her feet out of the mud. It didn't work very well. Dolly came up and pushed her away.
Not one to give up, Jilly switched to the 4x4. Please note, the twelve foot 4x4 was blown off the other side of the roof of the peacock pen (yes, it was just sitting up there) during a storm.
Personally, I just wish the sun would shine and get rid of the mud, but we're expecting up to another three inches Wednesday night.

Very clean goats! I remember cleaning and trimming goat hooves. Your goats have very pretty feet.
We try to stay clean, and the human does take care of our feet. There are several of us right now that need to make an appointment for a pedicure.
pretty goats, and I see you have your own feathered pets in your pen! Dandy..
Our goaties hate wet feet too! Especially Butter Bean! He is so funny hopping from brick to board to brick....he is the most spoiled goatie!He was raised in the house! You all are doing a good job staying clean and beautiful,I know that it is hard when you have so much rain!
Polly-the feathered ones in the pen are fine, but the geese run around and get a bit rowdy once in a while.
Melodie--Butter Bean certainly does sound spoiled. You should make him lovely walking paths to his favorite places.
Oh dear! I think goat boots are in order. What kind of human do you have?
Harumph!
Very inconsiderate, isn't she? She wears her red rubber rain boots out here all the time.
What no boots! Well it does look like you have plenty of ways to keep your feet nice and dry :O). and I guess it would be hard to get that many pairs of boots at two pair per goatie :O)
Oh, don't make excuses for the human.
Sorry not to comment about the subject at hand, but I just love Dixie's moonspots!
Her mom has them too, and they are silver! You're always welcome to comment on our cuteness.
