I am sorry it has been a while since my last tale so I will rehash a few juicy ones all in one for y'all, ENJOY!
How... Just... How
Upon coming home to do evening chores I find my colony of this years girls loose in the barn. To my disbelief, they have completely demolished their pen along with made a complete disaster of the barn. Poor Sweets was in a cage on the top level of their pen and went for the ride of his life to say it lightly. All were just fine and not shaken in the slightest but the clean up took 2 hours with the "help" of all 6 girls. Every time I needed to move the pen to fix a wall and section they were under it, over it, behind me and inside it to make things really interesting. Eventually with my little helpers doing their part I was able to repair their pen and get most of the mess cleaned up that they left for me in just over 2 hours. PHEW! What a headache!
Surprise!
THEN, the chaos from the rabbit escape was not all that lovely evening, Tilda decided to get her head caught in the gate of the fence. Not once, not twice, not even THREE times, but FOUR TIMES. She was not in distress, never panicked, just completely content with the fact I was paying attention to her. I fought her pushing against me four times to get her freed from her mess only to find out the very next day, when I took this photo, that she was never stuck to begin with.... Nope, not one bit of stuck! I came out of the barn the very next day with water jugs to fill and found her "stuck" again. I walked over, set them down and turned around to go back and free her to find her greeting me at the far end of the fence... nowhere near the gate! The little stink thinks it is funny to scare mom and get all the attention that way. Sigh.
Party Animals!
Saturday Oct. 24th we had a Birthday Party for me with a family party for myself and my cousin early on followed by a bonfire and friends later in the night. The 3 Goats hung out with the 3 dogs all night with us around the fire. people were shocked to find out that there were not 6 dogs but only 3 dogs and 3 goats! They would just lean up against people standing around the fire looking for pets and treats along with attempting to steal a sip of our beverages. The goats partied it up until about 2 am when they were finally put back in their pen when I decided to head in the house for bed time.
The Morning after
Well, the morning after the party was even more fun as the goats were not ready to stop the partying I guess.
I let the goats out to graze that morning when I got up and then we all had breakfast and went about laughing at the night before's happenings when all of a sudden we see a Beer box mosey on past the front window... just the box... So we all go closer to the window to find.... OLLIE with his head in the box walking around, lost. The silly goat had decided he wanted to explore it and it didn't come off his head. Yep! Another Ollie Antic to add to his list of hilarious encounters! The box was removed quickly and easily but he kept putting his head in back in as if it were a big joke to him. What a goof!
