The Gold Stamp of Approval

I'm so excited! Gold and her human, Tayet, have chosen to give me an award: "The Gold Stamp of Approval."

Here are the rules.

• If you are awarded The Gold Stamp of Approval, you must tell everyone 3 silly things about your goats.
• Link to your favorite goat or farm blogs and add a nice tidbit about why you like them!
• Please make a link back to the person you received the award from.
• Inform the award receiver that they have an award, by comment on their latest post or email.
• Have fun!

Well, I am not a silly goat. I am a wise goat, but I will try.

1. My human makes me wear these silly horn casts. She says it's because of my head-banging music. I can't help it. I have to play the music that is in my horns/heart.

2. We like to browse in the pasture, but that darn human doesn't do a very good job of letting us know where our pasture ends. (Oops.)

3. My twin sister, Minnie, is such a good milking nanny that she's still a milking nanny even though she's retired from having kids.

Now to pass this on to my goat friends.

I have to pass this on to...

Mimi and her borrowed goat Darla at The Goat Borrower. It's kind of like they are a part of our herd since Fionn (our young buck) is engaged to Darla. They're suffering through a long distance relationship.

Claire and Lucky Nickel at Whispering Acres. Claire gave us our four mini-friends (aka Chupacabra bait). Lucky Nickel is truly the queen of her new Canadian home.

Another Award

I am a prolific blogger! I blog a lot. It's easy for me because I have the human to bring me food and scratch between my ears since I have retired from being a milking nanny. I get to spend my days playing my horns and chewing my cud and ruminating on topics to write about.

The rules of this award are as follows:

1. Thank the person who gave you the award and add a link back to their blog. Thank you, thank you, thank you to Rox at The Natural Catholic. I so love this blog--she always writes about her garden and herbs and mothering. Those are all things I love.

2. Link to the Hazra of Advanced Booking. She is the one who created this award way back in November, 2009.

3. Visit Hazra and add your blog to the Linky there. That way there is a complete list of all who recieve her award.

4. Pass this on to 7 or more people you feel deserve the award.

*Pam from Life on a Southern Farm

*Tayet and Lilyan at In a Goat's Shoes

*Callie at Chickens on the Porch

*My Human at Eden Hills

I hope that is enough people to pass it on to. I'm not good with this, so I'll give it to the human and she can take care of it. She usually makes me send them to people she likes anyhow.

An Award

Look at this! I'm such a lucky goat. I've won an award.

This comes to me from Lilyan and Tayet at Lucky13GoatRanch.

The rules of the award:

1. Accept the award. Post it on your blog with the name of the person who has granted the award and his or her blog link.

2. Pay it forward to 15 other bloggers that you have newly discovered.

3. Contact those blog owners and let them know they’ve been chosen.

I'm not sure I know of fifteen blogs that I've newly discovered. Here it goes:

*Joyce Ann at Feather Spirits~She has goats and grows lots of yummy looking things in her garden.

*Callie at Chickens on the Porch~No goats, but she really spoils her chickens so she is good stuff.

*Sharon at Life with Jack and Jill~I'm sure she'd have goats if she could. She does have a couple of really cute dogs, and she makes my human laugh.

*Amanda at Lessons in Farming~My human made me add Amanda because she has a great blog, something about nice and chickens whatever. (Who's award is this anyhow?)

*Lucky Nickel and Claire at Whispering Acres~We all love Lucky Nickel and her lady, even though she seems to think aliens have invaded.

*Michelle and her goaties at Goat Berries~Michelle has beautiful Italian goats, and we think that is very romantic.

*Tracy at Journey to Casimir~We're so excited to hear all about Tracy's life as she moves to her own farm. We want to hear all about it!

*Pricilla at The Maaaaa of Pricilla~Pricilla is another very wise goat, like me. She has a nice publicist that feeds her lots of good things (and that makes me jealous).

Is that fifteen? I've run out of hooves, so I hope that is fifteen.

Versatile Blogger

I received a wonderful award from Melodie. It is the Versatile Blogger Award. Check out her interesting comments at Laughing Duck Farm. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Now I feel like I need to write a poem, so I really deserve this award.

My Kids

Pebbles is my girl,

Her horns are white as a pearl.

My kid Joe is not a boy,

As a baby she looked like a stuffed toy.

Oh who will I have this year;

We'll know soon as my time is near.

-Millie

Now the rules for this award are as follows. Thank the person who gave it to you, share some things about yourself, pass along the award to other bloggers and contact them about their award.

I thought a really long time before I could come up with something interesting that people might not already know about me. I've talked a lot about my horn playing. After today, it's obvious I'm a good poet.

I guess, I could tell you about the time I almost died. After the human brought home Scarlet, Grace and Annie we had worms. Don't get me wrong, the human wormed them before they were taken off the truck. They spent their first month locked away from anyone else, but when they joined us, we all got roundworms. The human wormed us and wormed us again. My boy, Bam Bam and I were horribly sick. In fact, the vet told her it might be too late to do anything to help us. To her credit, she didn't give up. She immediately put all of us except Bam Bam (he was so very sick) on herbal wormer. We all got better. Bam Bam kept getting worse. Finally, she just gave him the herbal wormer figuring the worst it could do was kill him faster. Instead, he grew to be a very big handsome guy. We now get herbal wormer every Saturday. We like Hoegger's herbal wormer. Some day I'll have to tell you more about it.

I guess the only other thing I might share is that, well, the human thinks that my udder, when it's full, looks like...Well, you figure it out.

Now, to whom shall I pass this award to? There is a new blog out there called Window on the Prairie written by Suzanne. My human wanted me to nominate her, and since her blog has pictures of lots of yummy flowers I agreed.

I want to pass the award on to Belle at This Goat's Life. She is a delightful little goat who makes me laugh.

The human wants me to pass the award on to Polly at Polly's Path. I'm not sure I want to do that. I decided to look at her blog, and much to my surprise, she allowed some fainting goat to write on her blog today. I wasn't too happy with what she said about my breed. Other than that insult, she does have a wonderful blog. Since the human is the one that gives me food, I guess I'll go with her suggestion. Just see how much milk she gets from me if this continues.

Finally, if the human gets to pick two people to pass my award on to (she is getting a bit jealous of my blogging success), I get to pick another one also. So, I would also like to pass this on to Michelle at Goat Berries. She's crazy about her goats, so that means she must be wonderful.
