Hibernating

We've decided to go back to hibernating until spring.

Coral

Scarlet, Cookie and Casey

Muffin and Jelly

Betty Lou

Really.  There's no other way to deal with the cold, blowy weather.

Casey Wants to Play

Casey is usually a pretty sweet boy, but he's been quite wound up since the weather has gotten a bit warmer.



First, he wanted to go for a piggy-back ride on his maaa, Scarlet.





She wasn't too happy about that.



Then, he wanted to play with his big sister, Maggie.

 Lucky for him, she's a good big sister.

Synchronized Browsing

Casey and Scarlet are already planning for the next olympics.

They are going to enter the synchronized browsing competition.

I think they have a decent chance of medalling.

Grass

There's just something about all that grass.

It really makes a goat just want to lie down and enjoy it.

Practicing Synchronized Running

Scarlet and Maggie have this synchronized running down.

I think they'll be hard to beat in the Goat Olympics.

Scarlet's Slimy Triplets

Guess what I came up from pasture and found.

Yep. Scarlet had her babies.

There are two girls and a boy.

In the picture below, the boy is in front and the two girls are to the back.

Hopefully, my blog photographer can take some pictures tomorrow when they aren't so slimy.

I say Muffin is next.

What do you think? Two or three?

How Many?

How many babies do you think Scarlet is carrying?

I'm guessing three, but the human says, "No more triplets!"

Winning and Scarlet

I'm a winner! Pricilla the spokesgoat for Happy Goats Soap had a wonderful giveaway, and I won! I won some of her wonderful goat milk soap. You really should check out Pricilla's blog and soaps. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Look at that silly Scarlet.

She had a feather stuck on her nose. I think it tickled.

Another One Gone

The human saw Scarlet doing this. She took a picture mumbling about how silly that was.

Just hooking her horn through the fence and pulling.

She wasn't saying silly (or anything else I can repeat) when she realized Scarlet was just practicing for hooking collars!

Now Dolly is collarless. Does she look like a stray without her collar?

Cattle Tank

I must say we are happy to have a heated tank to drink from.

Our snow might be gone, but it is still very cold out, and we like to have plenty of water to drink.
Unfortunately, this is what our tank looked like. It was getting ice on top of it.

We finally got the human to work on the tank today, and she thinks she has it fixed so we don't have to worry about the ice on top of the water.

Now, if we could just get her to do something with those geese playing in the tank and making ice on the concrete.

Darn geese.

Just Some Pictures

We had such a beautiful day today. It was a perfect fall day. Maggie still likes to lounge up here on top of the hut. Bambi and I like to lay under it.

Of course, I later decided it was time to play my horns. The door is such a nice place to lounge around and tap out a tune.
Heather is such a cute little lady. Scarlet does care for her daughter, but I must say, a really good mom would still be letting her kid eat corn with her instead of barking to get away.
I wish every day could be as beautiful as today!

Collars

I am not the only goat around here gaining weight. In fact, a lot of our girls seem to be outgrowing their collars!

Maggie needs a bigger collar. She is one of the yearlings, and she has really filled out and grown.

Helen, another yearling, needed her collar loosened, and now she won't let the human catch her. She looks like some kind of stray without a collar.

Look who else needs a bigger collar. She's not maturing, though. She's positively fat.

Maybe I'll outgrow mine if I keep eating. Scarlet doesn't have a collar either, but she didn't outgrow hers. She lost it fighting. The human wasn't too happy with her.
