Rotting

The human doesn't understand why I am laying in the compost bin. She thinks that's horrible. I say it's comfortable.

Look at Minnie on the hard concrete. That doesn't look cozy.

Muffin and Jetty are on a hard picnic table, but nobody thinks that is a silly place to lay.

What about Maggie stretched out on the hard ground. Okay, she looks pretty comfortable.

These three (Pistol, Dolly and Vinnie) aren't looking so cozy.

I must say, my warm soft spot here does attract the flies a little bit.

Think you can find a better place to nap?

An Apology of Sorts

I finally talked to the human about not getting to go into the big pasture where all the green stuff is. She said we can't go in there because if all of us goats went in, we'd scare the babies living in the cottonwood tree.

She said the great horned owl babies might fall out of the nest if we scared them.

Since we couldn't go in there, she decided to redo the fence back there. That way we wouldn't get confused where we are supposed to stop. Of course, by the time the fence in done, the owls will be bigger.

We've been hearing all kinds of noises, and now we know what it is.

Personally, I think she didn't get the fence replaced on time and now she's using those owl babies to cover her tardiness.

What do you think? Owl babies or slow working humans?

Pasture Predicament

Those moms and their kids get to be in the nice green big pasture.

The cow and ox are in that nice green big pasture.

We're stuck in the little pasture that is almost out of food.

I want to go in the nice bright green pasture to eat.

Another Bottle Baby or Two

The human has been feeding all kinds of bottle kids because of three sets of triplets and Annie ignoring one of her kids. Guess who's finally taking a bottle!

Harley!

After she and mom were both sick, the human started babying them.

Harley finally decided to take a bottle.

Here is her mom checking things out (probably relieved).

What!!!!

Is she really trying to drink from that bottle?

Is the human really letting her drink from the bottle?

I suppose it will help her feel better too. There's nothing like goat milk to promote good health!

Too bad it's not real milk.

A Friend Says Hello

Our friend wants to say, "Hi!"

Isn't it nice to have someone that likes to hang out with you? And he eats dog food, not mine!

Unacceptable

I know what's going on in there. Really I do.

I can see everything, and I'm not one bit happy about it.

They're still in there. It seems like everyone gets to go into that barn and eat from the all-you-want hay bale. Look at Blaze (1/2 of Blaze), Fionn, Cinnamon and Felix just standing around and nibbling hay.

Harley looks pretty warm and cozy in her bed of hay.

Even Naughty Rooster Boy is in there.

Doesn't look like he's enjoying the attention from Rocky and Cinnamon though.

That's all bad enough, but look at this...

Stormy? Unacceptable! Stormy gets to stay in there and eat?

The human said Stormy is very run down and can't keep up with her babies, and now her little girl Harley is sick too.

Look at me. Don't I deserve to come in and eat too? Really, I"m wasting away.

I shouldn't have to go out in the mud and rain to forage for myself.

Where Cinnamon Is

Cinnamon was in the barn eating hay and bouncing around!

All the kids on the other side of the barnyard were bouncing around in the middle part of the barn where the hay is stored and we're not allowed.

Cinnamon and Felix wondered what was clucking on the other side of the door.

Xander and Oscar were having a meeting of the minds.

There goes my grandkid Cinnamon streaking by!

We're not supposed to be in there. When I told Rocky to get his tail out before he got in trouble, look what he did.

Turns out, the human LET them in there. What is she thinking letting those kids in to eat hay and play?
