Family Portrait

Meg wanted a family portrait with her and her two youngest daughters. The human tried, but she couldn't get everyone to keep their mouths shut and quit chewing their cuds. Here Velvet has her mouth open.

Now Fancy has her mouth open. And what's with that weird look?
Finally, they all just started chewing their cuds and told the human she wasn't fast enough.
No nice family portrait for her Christmas cards this year!

Another One Gone

The human saw Scarlet doing this. She took a picture mumbling about how silly that was.

Just hooking her horn through the fence and pulling.

She wasn't saying silly (or anything else I can repeat) when she realized Scarlet was just practicing for hooking collars!

Now Dolly is collarless. Does she look like a stray without her collar?

Cattle Tank

I must say we are happy to have a heated tank to drink from.

Our snow might be gone, but it is still very cold out, and we like to have plenty of water to drink.
Unfortunately, this is what our tank looked like. It was getting ice on top of it.

We finally got the human to work on the tank today, and she thinks she has it fixed so we don't have to worry about the ice on top of the water.

Now, if we could just get her to do something with those geese playing in the tank and making ice on the concrete.

Darn geese.

First Snow

It's our first snow!

Stormy and Vesta stand south of the barn to stay out of the wind.

Luckily, it was just a dusting. Hopefully, it won't last too long.

Kizzy's Goat Yoga

I looked at Kizzy and she looked a bit funny.

Then she did this.

And this.

Ah, yes. Goat yoga! Stretching and striking poses to improve physical and mental health and gain insight and wisdom.

She's trying to teach daughter Dana how to do goat yoga.

Dana seems more interested in scratching than her mom's yoga talent.

I don't think she's getting it. She just wasn't following with Mom.

Daughter Dixie is doing better--it's mother and daughter synchronized yoga!

They might need to keep practicing a little.

Lost

I lost something. Can you tell what it is?

Here's a clue. Penny still has hers in this picture, but the it looks like it's killing her, so the human rescued her.

Helen also outgrew hers, so the human had to take it.

Scarlet lost hers too. Maggie is another one that the human removed it from. Heather has never had one. (Poor Heather)

Did you guess what it was?

My collar! I lost it when I was fighting with everyone right after the human let me out from my weight-gaining diet. The human says we're starting to look like a bunch of strays with everyone outgrowing their collars and going naked. Hmmph. I'm no stray.

A Different Kind of Coat

It's turned cold again. Someone has a down coat.

I wonder if it's as warm as our thick fur coats.

I doubt it! Litha looks awfully warm.
