For Me Please!

The human brought a green bowl into the barnyard. That always means a treat! Why did she keep walking?

What's she doing giving the birds my treat?

I want yummy pumpkin! I see that.

Let me in by the beard on my chinny chin chin!

Or I'll huff and butt and knock this gate in!

I want that seed yes!

I knew I just had to ask nicely. This is yummy pumpkin.

More please and thank you!

It's good enough to lick the bowl clean.

I just love when I get yummy treats!

Is This Young Love?

Is this young love?

Nope. It's brother and sister fighting over our corn husk treats.

Like most siblings, they get into little spats.

Silly Bud.

Silly Flower.

"Sisters!"

The Gold Stamp of Approval

I'm so excited! Gold and her human, Tayet, have chosen to give me an award: "The Gold Stamp of Approval."

Here are the rules.

• If you are awarded The Gold Stamp of Approval, you must tell everyone 3 silly things about your goats.
• Link to your favorite goat or farm blogs and add a nice tidbit about why you like them!
• Please make a link back to the person you received the award from.
• Inform the award receiver that they have an award, by comment on their latest post or email.
• Have fun!

Well, I am not a silly goat. I am a wise goat, but I will try.

1. My human makes me wear these silly horn casts. She says it's because of my head-banging music. I can't help it. I have to play the music that is in my horns/heart.

2. We like to browse in the pasture, but that darn human doesn't do a very good job of letting us know where our pasture ends. (Oops.)

3. My twin sister, Minnie, is such a good milking nanny that she's still a milking nanny even though she's retired from having kids.

Now to pass this on to my goat friends.

I have to pass this on to...

Mimi and her borrowed goat Darla at The Goat Borrower. It's kind of like they are a part of our herd since Fionn (our young buck) is engaged to Darla. They're suffering through a long distance relationship.

Claire and Lucky Nickel at Whispering Acres. Claire gave us our four mini-friends (aka Chupacabra bait). Lucky Nickel is truly the queen of her new Canadian home.

For the Boys

When the human was nice and brought us girls those yummy corn husks, she also dumped a tub of cornhusks over the fence for the boys. Marley was eating them quite happily.

Fionn is in there. You just have to look closely to see him and his cute curls.

That's because there was a huge wind. It blew the husks back onto the fence. Flower was quick to notice that she could reach those husks.

Then the race was on.

We all enjoyed the boys' corn husks.

Training Humans

Humans are not too hard to train. If you know they are standing nearby, you just start calling to them in a nice soft voice to let them know that you're horribly neglected.

If you have a human that's easily trained, it won't be long before you get a treat.

Look at this~corn husks! Yummy!

She brought a lot of corn husks. Of course, Minnie Pearl got some.

We all got to enjoy them, even the cute little kids like Clover and the goofy big kids like Bud.

Vixen was enjoying hers.

I was making sure Bambi got to eat some.

Muffin wouldn't share with her daughter, Jelly.

Harely seems to have bitten off a bit more than she could handle.

I told you it was easy to train humans.

All you other goats should try this. Really, it works.

Apples for Everyone!

Coral isn't the only one who got apples. Casey also got his first taste of apple. He also approved!

Stormy was such a lady. Just a little bite at first. Then a second dainty bite.

"Wow! This is awesome!"

Pam thought apple would be perfect with her mouthful of hay.

Osmo was trying to lick every drop of apple juice from the human's hand. (Gross.)

Of course, I got some too. Really, the human wasn't trying to give a bite to my girl. Bambi doesn't need any. I'm her mother, and I say she doesn't need any.

For some reason, the human said Cutie and I were big pigs. I don't know why she would say such things about me.

Granted Cutie did about bite the human's fingers off, but that wasn't me.

Why's she calling me a greedy pig?

Coral's First Apple

The human brought us out some apple treats. Coral got to try apple for the very first time.

At first, she just licked and gently tasted it.

It passed the taste test!

"No, Haley, it's mine. You can't have it!"

"Go away, Harley. This is just for me!"

"Apple. I don't have any apple."

Chomp, chomp, chomp.

Oh, yeah. This is good.

I think she's hooked.
