Those things are bright and colorful and pretty!
I was enjoying a nap in the barn when the human brought one out to me.
I was excited to have a nice tasty treat.
Yuck! That's what I think of that pepper.
If you think I'm being picky, it wasn't just me.
Coffee didn't want it.
Opal wouldn't eat it, and she's a food-a-holic.
Dolly turned her nose up at it.
Lotus said, "No way!"
Not even Cutie would try it.
She can take those peppers and try to find some other goat to eat them. We don't want them, but I would like a real treat. Please...
Edit: Pricilla was kind enough to point out that we wouldn't eat those peppers because they belong to the nightshade family, and they are very bad for us. Stupid human. All of you other humans now know not to feed your goats peppers.

Hmmm.... I thought you goaties would love those pretty peppers!
It is good you did not eat them as they are nightshades and nightshades are very very bad for us goaties.
Thanks Pricilla. You are very smart too. What a shame my human is so stupid.
That was not a very nice trick on you goaties! I think you need a double treat now!
Pricilla is so smart. I think she needs to start a school for treat giving. My lady didn't know that about peppers either.
Cute post... Smart Goats. I dont even know what nightshade means, guess I'd better google it.
Very smart goats!
Good info on the nightshades for the rest of us stupid goat-owning humans! Thanks Pricilla and Millie! :)
I would have thought the goaties would love some nice crunchy sweet peppers. I've never heard of nightshade family either. Interesting. Good thing the goats knew it was bad! lol
Our chickens don't eat peppers either -- that nightshade family is definitely on the outs with the animal kingdom! Glad to hear all the goaties passed the human's test ;)
Hi Coffee! Hi Opal! Hi Lotus!!!
Glad to see all my former goaties passed the test! Interestingly, when I was younger and we had a family dog, a Welsh terrier, she would steal green peppers right off the plant and go eat them in the garden. Perhaps the dog should be the taste tester next time?
