Strange Weather We're Having

This is ME last year on this date!  It was very cold and snowy.  Today it was nearly 50 degrees F. and it was sunny.  Great for basking!

We like this weather but we do get a little worried because it's not natural.  The plants need to sleep under the snow and the bears should be hibernating.  There are skunks around looking for some love too.  Usually there aren't that many but everyskunk in the neighborhood is out because it's so mild.

My lady says it's been very nice because the water buckets haven't frozen in weeks!  Very unusual.  She's in for it by the end of the week because nighttime temperatures are supposed to only be about ten degrees F.  Brrrrr.  I'm glad I kept my fur on!

It's Number's Birthday!

Hi!  It's ME!  Today we had special treats!  It's Number's birthday!

Thoroughbreds have an official birthday of January 1st but today is Numsy's REAL birthday

Nigel and Nozzy are wishing they could play with my maa maa Narcissa but she's smart and stays under the table.



Sarah is thinking that there may be peppermints for supper!



Gimli's pretty happy because he lives in Number Bumber's stall at night so he knows he might get extra treats.

Nigel was sure he'd get treats ahead of everyone else.

And here is the birthday boy!  He's eleven years old. He wanted to know why my lady was taking his picture!

Happy Birthday Boy!

Gim wants to know where the treats are. Hurry up lady!

I want my treats NOW!  Gimme treats!

Are they over there?

Durin and Dayel want their birthday treat!  My lady has to reach waaay across the stall to give Dayel his treat because he's up on the back ledge.  Durin is a piggy and Dayel likes to get out of the way!

Happy Birthday Number Bumber!  Thanks for the birthday mints!

Run, Rabbit, Run!

Tee hee hee hee.  My lady says Wickery would stomp that rabbit!  I would too!

Warning.  You will ALL be singing that song.  hee hee hee

One Year Ago Today

My lady met Kezia and she came home to live with us!  Happy Anniversary Kezia!

Princess Sheep! Humph!

Humph!  I'm not pleased.  LOOK at what Tuuli gets to eat and how it is presented twice a day!

What in the Great Goat Gods  is that all about?  Lady...I want to know.

Dear Isobelle...

As you know Tuuli was very ill as a lamb and she didn't have any appetite.

Her appetite has gotten a bit better but I really wanted to try to encourage her to eat more.  I didn't know which food she liked the best. Did she like the sweet sheep feed, or the cracked corn, or the oats?  I split them up like this so I could find out what she likes to eat best.  It turns out she likes them all but she doesn't like the food all jumbled up together.

Hmmm....well....OK...stupid Princess Sheep...but what about that BREAD?

Well, Isobelle dear, Tuuli needs extra treats to make her plump like you, and she won't eat it if the crusts are on.

What do you do with those yummy crusts?

I give them to the chicken ladies.

Won't you save some of those yummy crusts for ME?  I'm so thin and needy.

Sure you are dearheart.  Perhaps.





A Special Announcement...with Sheep

I want to know why this couldn't be a Special Announcement....with Isobelle.  Humph.

My lady said it's because the photographer (our friend Elisabeth) is kind of afraid of us goats but she's not afraid of the sheep. 

My lady has taken a big step.  Months ago she was very unhappy with her weight and how she felt.  It was awful.  In order to save money she was eating all the wrong things.  She's been on diets before and did OK but was never happy, was always hungry and always gained the weight back.

Then she found Take Shape for Life.

She looked into it thoroughly because she told me she doesn't like to just jump into anything.  She found a high rate of satisfaction with the program, lots of support and all sorts of great information.  And best of all?  It wasn't just a diet.  It was a plan that was designed to help people get and stay healthy for the rest of their lives.

She tried it.  She loved it.  It's changed her life.  She went from being tired all the time, to energetic and happy and so far has lost 37 pounds! 

She was so pleased with the program that she's become a free health coach.  She now helps people get started on their own program and coaches them.  It's free. She doesn't sell product, which she wouldn't like to do, and it's not at all about pressuring people into something they don't want to do.  No way.  She wouldn't be a health coach if that is what it was.

It's about information.  It's about health.  It's fun and it's so rewarding to see people also losing their weight and becoming healthy.

She needed some photographs for this so she chose Tuuli and Wickery as companions.  No fancy portrait shots for my lady.  That's not who she is.  Some folks have asked about her socks... hee hee.  She knitted them with Austermann Step yarn she got on sale from Little Knits.

You can see she's very happy with how she feels.  She wants to share it.

If you'd like more information on what she has done please email her at

She also has a website: http://www.beverlyhiggins.tsfl.com/

Weight loss is only the beginning.

Join her in the journey towards Optimal Health!

If you send her SPAM I'll fly over your house and poop goat berries down on you!  hee hee hee

Happy New Year

I am a very sharing goat (ahem).  Since Wickery designed his own hat for New Years I thought I'd let him have the post for today. 

He thinks his hat is quite stunning because it's edible too, but he told my lady that it was itchy and could she please remove it after the photo session?

Little Tuuli is well.  Her appetite is better and my lady said she's gained some weight and soon she won't be able to be picked up to be hugged! 



Tuuli is a little more comfy with Wickery.  He's a lively sheep and that scares her sometimes.  She can't play with her crooked legs and he loves to play.  He's not mean unless he thinks she is getting more food than he is.  Even then he's not very mean (like me).  Tee hee.



My lady bought herself a present.  It's a glass locket.  She put a photograph of Baalin in it, along with some of his wool.  It's a nice memorial to a beloved friend.

Wishing you health and happiness in the coming year.  xoxoxo

Yours,

Izzle
