Family

Family is there for you. They've got your back. When Scarlet was picking on my Joe, she tried to just walk away.

It didn't work. Scarlet was insistent on fighting even though Joe didn't want to.

Joe's cousin, Betty Lou, came to her assistance.

Then her Aunt Minnie showed up to have a horn to horn talk with Scarlet.

Yep. Family's always got your back!

Going, Going...

MUD. (Thought this was going to be a New Year's post didn't you. Goats don't follow a calendar.)

With our warm weather, the snow that the geese were happily bathing in has disappeared.

In it's place is mud. At least it uncovered the missing food pans!

Maybe my Pebbles won't have to share a feed pan with Kizzy and Dixie now.

The pasture was cleared of most of the snow and we could go out for some exercise!

Unfortunately, there wasn't much good to eat out there. Glad the human gives us hay!

The warm weather has also left some of the younger does feeling a bit rowdy! Annie was trying to engage my Joe in a barnyard brawl. Joe is too much of a lady (and big and strong) to fight.

Look at those girls fight. Silly Dolly and Maggie!

Little spotted Dolly managed to push Maggie clear across the barnyard.

Of course, she was just sliding in the muddy icy slush.

Jilly was having a go at it, too.

This is why you should not fight in the mud.

Oh, yeah! Hope you have a great 2011!
