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.

Big Red

After the big fuss the human made of the naughty boys getting out, she turned around and did some mixing and matching. Jack had Meg and Betty Lou join him.

Marley got Penny, Sallie and Annie. She said it was sweet revenge to put Annie in there. Last year, Annie tormented Marley so much that he couldn't even do his job.

Then she put Lily's little boy up north with Stormy and Litha. The human's boy thought Red looked awfully small next to those girls.

Red has decided he likes his job. He just wishes that silly red gate would disappear.

Angel is a beautiful girl his seems to think.

The human says we're going to have spring break babies!

Brain Surgery

The human tried to make Bud smarter. She couldn't do it.

After several phone calls to the vet and a visit with the vet, Bud is getting smarter. The vet banded him to keep the blood flow to his brain instead of wasting it other places.

Corn

The human took some of this

and gave to them.

My mouth isn't that big!

I want mine off the cob please!

Cattle Tank

Do you remember me saying I really missed that old concrete cattle tank because we don't like those geese playing in the buckets of water the human brings us?

Do you remember me complaining that she fenced off our lovely little passage to pasture and put some weird big rock there?

Well, look what we have here...

Velvet is happy to show you this brand new cattle tank.

Vinnie likes it too. Heck, we all think it's pretty nice.

Who wouldn't love this?

The Earth is Moving!

We went out to pasture tonight like we do every evening, but it was so different! We found a huge pile of trees.

Pebbles had to climb all the way to the top to find anything green.

The ox thought that one looked like a good place to scratch his face.

Then we saw this.

The ditch was gone. Just gone! We couldn't believe our eyes.

That naughty little bull got wound up and chased us when he saw all the weird stuff that had happened back here.

That did not make us happy, but he finally left us alone.

We looked and looked and finally found the ditch.

Look at this. No grass and no ditch!

That black space used to be ditch. Now, we can just walk across it.

Bad Boys

When the human came out the other morning, she was not happy with the medium and little boys. Look what they did: Beau, Flash, Red, Rover, Mo, and Peanut all got out.

Flash tried to play all innocent. He just looked at the human and said, "What, I'm not doing anything."

Not these two. They had already staked their claim on pretty Miss Kizzy.

These two girls were also feeling the stirrings of love hormones. The human went, "Whatever" about Pam, but she was not happy about Pistol. With Pistol's naughty behaviors beginning at the age of two days, she blames Pistol for teasing the boys into coming out.

Mo was really naughty. He wouldn't even let the human catch him. He would just stand there and say, "What? I'm just standing here minding my own business."

Captured! The human put the boys in this little bitty pen until she could work on the gate where they had escaped.

It doesn't look like they are too miserable.

Peanut seems to be practicing for the circus now. The human says we'll have to see if those naughty boys are going to be daddies.
