Thanksgiving

We goats celebrate Thanksgiving much the way humans do.  We stuff ourselves until we can't eat anymore.  We had corn husks.









Pumpkin was for dessert.











Then we just sat around basking.









See, just like humans.  We hope you all had as good a Thanksgiving as us.

The Luck of Being Hand Fed

It was mentioned how I was lucky to be hand fed some of that yummy pumpkin.  Luck had nothing to do with it.  See Coral happened to be right by the pumpkin when the human broke it open.

That was lucky.  She got a bite before the greedy ones swarmed the pumpkin treat.  Yes, one of them is my Bambi.  She and Coffee will run over anyone to get food.



I thought I'd go get a bite to eat.  After all, I am one of the ranking goats here.





I finally got through the crowd of goats.



Just as I was going to get a yummy bite to eat,



Bambi!

I just turned and gave my human the goat stare of death.  She knew she'd better get me a bite of that yummy pumpkin.



Poor Coral didn't get another bite after those piggies showed up.



She's not very good at the goat stare of death either, so the human didn't hand feed her any.

Treats

Okay, we really did get a pumpkin treat last weekend.  I just couldn't resist sharing my extra treat though.

With all those other greedy goats, the human brought me some of the good seeds and stuff.

Just for me!

Guessing Game

Can you guess what the human gave us for a treat?

I don't want to tell you and spoil the surprise.  You'll have to come back tomorrow and see.

Where Did That Come From?

The human brought a treat out to the barnyard. She had a pumpkin!

She said it had been in the kitchen waiting to be baked, and she finally decided to just give it to us.

That's not quite true. Do you see me?

She put it on the side where I was NOT. Then she made comments about letting someone else have a treat for a change. I don't think that was nice.

Pistol and Bud are sharing.

Vixen and Bud didn't get along quite so long.

Look who won!

I can't believe she didn't even bring me a little bite.

It's time for Farmgirl Friday. Be sure to visit Deborah Jean for more farmy posts.

For Me Please!

The human brought a green bowl into the barnyard. That always means a treat! Why did she keep walking?

What's she doing giving the birds my treat?

I want yummy pumpkin! I see that.

Let me in by the beard on my chinny chin chin!

Or I'll huff and butt and knock this gate in!

I want that seed yes!

I knew I just had to ask nicely. This is yummy pumpkin.

More please and thank you!

It's good enough to lick the bowl clean.

I just love when I get yummy treats!

My Pumpkins are Harvested

Remember my pumpkin garden. Well, some goats (I won't say who) started nibbling my pumpkin plant.

Pretty soon, it looked like this.

Darn goats! We sampled the mini pumpkins, but they didn't taste very good.

Today, the human gathered up all my pumpkins. Look at all my pumpkins!

Then she brought out a pumpkin for me, but before she could get to me, my girl Joe smelled it.

She was determined to get that pumpkin!

Finally she got her bite.

She wasn't about to let anyone else have her bite.

Then the human brought the rest over for me to try.

I did enjoy a nice little sample of my pumpkin.

I think next year I might try growing watermelons. That sounds good.
