Me's Be Sadderest

Me wants to be happierest because me's Millie maa is doing better.  She be's stronger every day, and she be's eating now.  But me still be's sadderest.

Me's brofer Miranda not used to no Millie maa to watch out for him.  He not stayed with the herd and stayed out in pasture too late.

He's not be coming home.  The human said she found where the attack was. Me's think it weres the chupacabra.

If me's Millie maa were well, she'd have saved him.

Me's knows it.

RIP Miranda. 

My Name is Opal

My name is Opal,

and I'm a grainoholic.

I eat my feed. After everyone else is done, I go back.

I see if I can find more. I pick the pan up and look on the ground.

I even see if something is stuck to the bottom of the pan.

I'm not fat, I'm just pleasantly plump.

Millie made me do this. She said if I didn't, she'd feed me to the chupacabra.

Be sure to visit Farmgirl Friday for more great farmy blog posts.

Danger Under the Full Moon

During the last full moon, we had a horrible scare.

We were all watching in fear.

Kizzy was snorting a warning that she would defend her kids...to the death if need be.

What did we see? The dreaded chupacabra! (You can click on a picture to make it bigger if you're brave enough.)

Look at those evil glowing eyes!

And where was our guard llama? Off standing away from all the action.

I was hiding behind the human.

Run! Hide from that goat sucker.

I suggested we feed that little fat Opalumpa goat to them, but the human wouldn't let me.

I hope we're safe again for now.

The Real Diagnosis

Minnie Pearl here again. Can't believe this is what my sister wants me to write about, but here it goes.

Lucky Nickel lives with Claire, and while she is a beautiful white goat, she seems to be a silly kid. She thinks that Millie, instead of anemia has a-knee-mic that was inserted into her knee during an alien abduction. (I can't believe this is the stuff Millie writes about. Is she just trying to make me look like a fool?) You can read all about Lucky Nickel's diagnosis of Millie at Claire's blog, Whispering Acres. You can also read more about Lucky Nickel's driving lesson.

Lucky Nickel of Whispering Acres

You might think this is crazy, goats being abducted by aliens, but there seems to be some other cases being reported in Blogland. For example, Marigold, from Goat Philosophy 101 seems to have been abducted by aliens also. They must have done some other experiment on her because she has a lop-sided udder instead of having been implanted with a-knee-mic.

Of course, I did not believe any of this malarky, so I asked Millie about it. She agrees that these are just silly kid's tales. Then she told me I had to go check out what Michelle at Goat Berries posted about. It was the nasty Chupacabra, a monster that sucks the blood from goats, leaving them dead.

Yep, that's what Millie told me. She said that the dreaded Chupacabra came to our farm in Iowa and attacked. That's why she's anemic. She said she is expecting to win the President's Medal of Honor for her bravery above the call of duty. She single hoofedly fought off the Chupacabra, and she's lucky she escaped with her life. If it were not for her heroics, the entire herd would have had their life blood sucked dry.

That's why she is anemic. That's why she's on vacation, resting and eating, and I'm here writing all this baloney.

Millie, the Chupacabra warrior of Eden Hills

She seriously owes me big time after this. I think I should be getting some sweet feed for this. By the way, I personally think the Chupacabra is a two-headed monster that looks like this, and it's not blood it sucks either.

Millie!!!!!!!!!!! I'm quitting if you make me do anything like this again!!!!!!!
