Can A Little Goat Be Jealous of A Chicken?

I AM! That little Dutch Bantam Hamish gets all the snuggles....welllllll....he gets special snuggles. My lady picks him up and holds him very close! I want to be held like that!! She said that I'm a little too big for that. Darn.

Hamish has been a little lonely because Priscilla, the bantie hen, has chosen the red headed Angus instead of Hamish. So Hamish sits in the nest boxes at night and gets a little cold. He doesn't want to sit with the chickenzillas on the other side of the coop.

My lady picks him up and puts him under her fleecy vest. He likes to take a nap. She'd like to make him a house chicken but that Thistle dog would like to eat Hamish. She's looking into either getting a few more bantam hens or a little heater for the coop. We had bantam eggs to hatch but none did. Soon there will be nine more Easter Egger chickens in the coop but Hamish may not like them. They are only a month old and in the basement with a cozy light and pen area. I know how to get back at my lady....she looks like she has a double-chin in that photo. hee hee hee shhhh - don't tell her I said that!

Thankful Thursday

My lady scolded me for being a little stinky and told me that I had to hop on and post about something I am thankful for.

OK! I'm a good girl so I'm doing it!

Today I'm thankful for my barn! It's pouring down a very cold rain and I have a nice barn to go in and hay and water in there. Thank you barn!

It was Spring in this photo! Nice and green!

I Want Training Time Too!

That PULE certainly gets a lot of attention from our lady. Martha doesn't want to be caught and gets really afraid so our lady works with her each evening when Martha is in the closed barn. Yesterday Martha learned how to move forward rather than stopping with her head in the corner and her big butt facing our lady. Martha has also learned that our lady can carry the rope, lift her arms and swing the rope around and not be afraid.

I want to play with our lady too. I think I'd like to be a dressage goat... that sounds like fun.

Last Year On This Day

We had LOTs more grass out in our pasture because there wasn't a PULE and a HORSE out there. We don't have those yummies anymore and I told our lady that she needs to make us a new pasture. She'd like to do this but told me that it would have to go straight up the hill and into the back meadow. Great for us goats but not so good for Number. She also told me that she doesn't have the money for new fence. Oh well... I did hear her say that if I was a good girl with my halter and lead that she'd take me for a walk on the trails.....oooooh!

I'm waiting for Valentino to sneek onto a UPS truck and to climb in a big box coming this way! I have a very large bag of peppermints waiting here for him...that and a BIG KISS!

A Sunny Day is Coming!

So Embarrassing! hee hee hee

I don't have a photograph of my latest adventure... my lady was too busy helping me.

She wasn't giving me my goat food FAST enough...you know how that is...servants these days...So... I went into the food area and popped the top off of the goat grain bin. My mom showed me how to do that. Then I leaned in to eat all the grain I wanted.

My lady told me to stop but I didn't, and then I couldn't quite reach the yummy grain so I leaned in further....and guess what?????

I fell into the grain bin! Hee hee hee. Actually only the front half of me fell into the bin, which is a big rubber trash can. I am a little too large to fit all the way in. My lovely bum was stuck up in the air but my front end was where the important food was so that was OK.

My mom and Gimli kept pawing at me because they wanted food too and I was in the way. My lady ran across the barn to help me get out and I didn't want to get out of there. Yummy yum. MMMM MMMM

She had to put her arms around me and pull me out. She said that I'm a little FAT. That's not very nice. Did you know that our lady is so talented she can shoo three goats out of a feed bin and manage to put the top back on all at once??? And she only said a few naughty words, but she was laughing too.

I'm going to try that again tonight! See what happens when I'm not fed FIRST!

My lady said that if I do that again and fall in she is going to take a photograph of my big bum up in the air! Huh.
