Excuse Me

This big ox is always lying in the doorway.  He's taking up a lot of our basking space.



He fills the whole doorway.  He even opened it up, so he'd fit.

 

It wasn't nearly that open when we started the fall.

The Secret to Long Life

Yoga.  Yep.

Even the ox knows that.  Suppose I'll get to be 17 if I keep up my yoga?

That is NOT a Goat

Look what that human did to us!

Victoria, Joe, Joani, and the big ox

That is NOT a goat.  We shouldn't have to share our barn with that big ox!

Scarlet, Cookie, Cora, Victoria and the big ox

He could accidentally eat Cora in just one bite.

Cora, Victoria and the big ox

Can you believe the injustice of it?

Mountain Goat

Cheddar has decided to pretend to be a mountain goat.

She's got quite a good imagination and a very tolerant mountain.

Now Look What She Did

As if leaving pies in our food pans wasn't bad enough, look what that Maxine cow did now!



Luckily, she's keeping him out in the pasture.



She lets the big ox calf sit while she grazes.  She's at least smart that way.

Stormy is a Scaredygoat

This is Stormy.  She's a pretty big goat.  She's all grown up and a mom. You'd think she'd be brave.

What could have her acting like a kid trying to get away from something by scurrying under the fence.

It wasn't working so well, was it?

It wasn't the chupacabra.

Nope.  It was just MJ.  The human finally convinced Stormy to sneak past him really quickly while she stood between them.  You know because the human is so big and strong she can protect her from a giant ox.

He was on his way out to pasture.

Silly scaredygoat Stormy.

Cranky Llama Ears

The llama is wearing his cranky ears.

Is he mad at MJ?

No, he enjoys the company of the ox.

So what's got him so upset.

Maxine is home from her date with the bull, and there's no more boys' night out.

MJ's happy to see his woman though.

A Bigger Black Lump

Yep! This past weekend was certainly the time to lie in the sun and enjoy it. Even the ox was flopped out.

Now we're back to cold and snowy.

White Christmas

The human was right to pick up the food pans.

We had a lot of snow, all day on Christmas Eve. We ended up with about five inches of snow.

Lucy Goose was looking through the snow for good things to eat.

Where did her legs go???? Silly goose.

That human gave our hay to the cows.

MJ doesn't look too happy with the snow.

I hope you all had a great holiday whether it was white, brown or green (I wish ours were green).

Bed Tubs

This is where little kids, like Mo, like to sleep.

Okay, Vesta is getting a bit too big for this I think.

Dana and Dixie sleep together like salt and pepper shakers, kind of. The geese are starting to molt--feather bed!

Here is where the big ox likes to sleep.

Actually, he was watching them do this. It scared us from going out to pasture for a while this evening.

Tracks

The human lets everyone out in the new big pasture except for us goats. I didn't understand why until she showed me some pictures. There are big scary monsters out in the pasture that have left their tracks by the ditch.

The little ones on the left are raccoons. The ones that look a lot like my prints really belong to deer. These alone are enough to make me grateful that the human has a nice safe barn for us.

This one is huge. It must belong to a giant monster. What could possibly be this big? Hmmm...
