Hey everyone! Me and the kids are getting used to our new accommodations... we're occasionally even willing to graze together outside. Me, I've thought about both biting and kicking them a few times, but I have practiced restraint and have limited myself to chasing a little bit, mostly just Puck. If he didn't run past me all the time I probably wouldn't. Really, the blame lays with him.
Puck is sort of the emissary for the goats. He was the first one to try to make friends with me, and the one who is trying to make friends with IT. Even the "IT" has come out and grazed along the fence line with us. IT hasn't tried to bite me at all since I arrived here, I suppose I could start referring to him with his proper name, Frank.
I must say, I HAVE enjoyed all the grooming I've received at my new home. Frizzy haired lady (who I thought to call "My Sponsor" until she pointed out it may sound like we're both in AA - and really, only one of us should be) is really good at giving scrubbies. More than once I've nearly fallen over while having a nice proper neck scritch. Oh, and the other day when it was REALLY hot and humid she came into the barn eating something called "ice cream". It was strawberry flavored, and let me tell you, it was DELICIOUS!
She also likes kisses about as much as I do. So I know that they're ALWAYS welcome... even when she's sitting in the grass trying to take pictures!
I'm not the ONLY one who has realized that, either, Flick has, too (cue "Jaws" theme)
Don't worry, we haven't forgotten Cedric. He just doesn't like to have his picture taken much, Cedric is a little shy, and the most afraid of me out of all the goats (smart kid!). He does love to eat though, always hungry, that one (he did not like strawberry ice cream though). He's also the most playful. He and Flick really like to go at it.
Me? I'm not really into butting heads (just noses!), but I do like to chase Frizzy haired lady if she's outside with us and on the wrong side of our little paddock!
And before I forget, I would really like to thank my handsome cousin Nigel Fotherhingham of Isobelle GoLightly's farm for the new leather halter! Pony snoodles Nigel!
That's all for today!
Cheers!
Look at that grass, Nevelle! That has got to make you very happy. I'm glad that you and the goat boys are getting along so well, and that Frank is being quite the gentleman. Maybe you could call the Frizzy Haired Lady your "Friend" since that's what she has been to you and the other boys.
ReplyDeleteCalling her my "Friend" would be nice I think. Just one hitch - I don't expect servitude from Friends. I do expect it from her!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Neville
Good to see everyone has settled in so nicely! The FRL got some great picts of you all! So much lovely tall grass, a lot of the other blogging critters will want to visit to help you eat it!
ReplyDeleteYou look very happy Neville. Goats are your friends. Just keep saying that to yourself.
ReplyDeleteStrawberry ice cream! How delightful. I'd certainly share a bowl with you (if it was your bowl to start with, not mine).
ReplyDeleteHi Neville! Nigel says you're welcome for the halter! You have a much more dainty head than he has! What grass! I can see why your Frizzy said she has to limit your time out there until it goes down a bit. I'm going to ask for some ice cream! My lady doesn't buy it often because she has to pay for Number's expensive food and stuff - sniff - but maybe she'll treat us! I think we should all get to go in the car to the ice cream store drive through! Hee hee.
