Groundhog Day

Happy Groundhog Day! According to Phil, spring is just around the corner, and that makes me really happy.

This isn't Phil, but we got to meet this groundhog a couple of summers ago. He wasn't having a very good day.

He was chased away from the human's house and into our barnyard by the dogs. Poor guy just sat there for the longest time. The human was taking his picture. The dogs kept barking. The geese were hissing.

Then some weird salesman guy came waltzing into the barnyard and found the human doing chores. She deftly led him back out. On the way, he noticed the poor groundhog cowering there, so the human explained about his bad day.

Just as she was explaining about the dogs, here they came. Hee hee. The salesman about panicked realizing he had just walked unattended through the yard with two big dogs.

Do I look ready for spring? I sure hope Phil is right.

In the Name of Fairness

In the name of fairness, the human said she had to give some peanuts to the goats up north. I wasn't too happy, but I guess she was right.

Dolly was the first to try them. My grandkid was such a lady about it.

You'll notice Marley was getting close. He liked the peanuts almost as much as me.

She thought Lily was going to climb the big metal thingy to get to her.

Jilly was also very appreciative of the treat.

She had been feeling neglected since she was put in with Marley and isn't getting her milking snack anymore.

Poor Sadie. She was sniffing a peanut, but the human couldn't protect her from Jilly.

Then Marley stole her peanut.

The human said Marley was about as bad as all the little kids out here that swarmed her. Maybe that means she won't take them any more peanuts, and I'll get more!

I Smell...

Peanuts!

I know they're in her pocket.

Please...

Oh, I think I got it.

I love my peanuts!

There's more peanut posts coming. We love peanuts here!

What Penny Did

This is what Penny did.

She gave the goat stare of death to...

Minnie.

You should never give the goat stare of death to the herd queen!

Naughty Girl

Penny looks like she must have been naughty since she's standing in the corner.

What do you suppose she did?

Holy Hen! What's Going On?

When the human let me in the duck, peacock, and chicken pen the other day so I could eat some corn in private, she gave a small handful of corn to this one.

The llama gets my peanut. Now the hen gets my corn. I might starve if this keeps up!

Who Else Wanted a Peanut?

You'll never believe what stuck-up llama wanted to try a peanut!

He never is interested in anything, and he just ignores the human.

We were enjoying peanuts so much, that he wanted to try one.

The human only gave him the little nuts from inside the shell because she read that llamas choke easily (let them I say). There's a peanut in that mouth!

He seems to have enjoyed it too! Are you tired of our peanut adventures yet?
