Is This an Apology?

The human came walking up to the fence with something in her hand.

I was still mad at her for yelling at me, but I thought I'd see what she had.

An oak leaf!

Yummy...

Maybe I'll forgive her.

Those oak leaves are really good.

Yep. I'd better forgive her so she'll keep bringing me oak leaves.

What Did We Do Wrong?

The human was very cranky (even worse than the llama). She came out and waved her arms and yelled at us.

We were just browsing.

I don't know what the big deal is. Nobody's been out there all summer. It's just been growing and growing. We didn't want those yummy bean leaves to go to waste.

"I'm trying to focus here! Do you mind?"

Focus.

More Dinner Woes

You saw poor Cinnamon covered in those nasty little stick to you seedy things. Well, she's not the only one who has those problems. Minnie has them stuck in her beard.

She tries to scratch them out, but it's not working very well.

Still, she looks happy scratching her chin.

What's this?

Poor Betty Lou's beard is completely knotted in those darn burrs.

I try to be way more careful than that.

Wearing Her Supper

There are certain hazards in browsing in the Back Forty this time of year.

Cinnamon seems to be wearing a bit of her supper.

We have these weeds that grab our fur and stick in it. Really, it's quite annoying!

But there's so much good stuff to eat, so we'll put up with these weeds.

My 7 Links

Pricilla is such a sweet goat. She nominated me to participate in My 7 Links, created by Tripbase Blog. It's been really fun to look back through the 443 posts that I've published since I started my blog in March, 2010. That means this is number 444! I'm supposed to tell you:

- My most beautiful post
– My most popular post
– My most controversial post
– My most helpful post
– A post whose success surprised me
– A post I feel didn’t get the attention it deserved
– The post that I am most proud of

So here they are:

My most beautiful post was to tell everyone Happy Earth Day! I think any post that celebrates the Earth is wonderful!

(I don't know why that silly Leo cat is so huge. I'm not a technically savvy goat, and the human obviously couldn't help me.)

My most popular post was Stuffed Goat.

Really I"m not controversial at all. I'm sweet and wise, so how could anyone ever not agree with what I write. I guess my most controversial post was Sorrow. I try to be cheerful, but this one is sad.

My most helpful post was Visiting Iowa State University. I hope everyone now knows that there are things you can do to help an anemic goat.

The post who's success surprised me is Kizzy Kay Street on Horns. I do love horns, but it surprises me that so many people have viewed this one. Technically, Kizzy was the author of this post, but it's my blog!

The post that didn't get the attention it deserved. Well ALL of them! If I have to pick one, I'd say Day at the Spa because it shows how nice the human is to me, and not very many people commented on that.

The post I'm most proud of is Summer Solstice. It made my human cry to read it and hear the nice comments.

Now, I'm supposed to pass this on to up to 5 more bloggers. This is the hard part because so many have already been nominated. There are so many that I enjoy, and I don't want to upset anyone that I don't nominate. Oh dear, who to choose...

I guess I'll pass this on to Alicia at Happily Married to the Cows. She has a lovely blog, but she really should devote more blog time to the goats. I'm just saying...

I also want to pass this on to Sharon at I Forget What I Forgot. I just adore Sharon. If she were my human, she'd feed me peanuts every day.

Where I Had to Go

Before that silly cat hijacked my blog, I was going to tell you where I was headed and why.

I heard the human holler for us to come and get our dinner. I always like to eat my grain, but the human had promised me a special treat.

I was waiting and waiting (while I was eating), but finally I got tired of waiting. I turned and gave her the goat stare of death.

That must have really scared the human because she finally brought me...

PEANUTS!

I so love to eat peanuts. They are just so yummy.

She even gave my girl, Bambi, a peanut treat!

Finally, she gives us the attention we deserve.

She's ignored us all year with triplets and sick goats and, and, and...

I think we should get peanuts every day! That would make me a very happy goat!
