Thanksgiving has passed, but I’m still thankful for friends, family and of course goats. Along with everything else I have in my quite priviliged life. Here’s Mia’s message:

I am also thankful that the sun came back. After a long, dark stretch. Good to see it again. Even if it’s still cold. And colder. We needed some sunshine in the goat pen too. It’s been such a mudfest. The poor goats trying to jump from lifeboat to lifeboat. Every little stepping stone they can find to keep out of the mud. There is no escape! Hopefully the sun will stay and improve things.

On Thursday I brought my inflatable gym ball back to the playground. Same result as last time, though. The goats are still scared of it. I took Bruce and Clark out of the pen, hoping I could get them to play with it. But no luck. I did get them both, and Mia as well, to step up on it to reach an offered treat. But any sign of it moving would send them darting off into the distance. Oh well! I left the ball there, maybe they can get used to it if it just lays in the corner of the pen and isn’t threatening anyone. You never know.

I got myself a new duvet. It’s super warm and comfy and lovely. And I spent entirely too long in bed just enjoying the feeling of it. Aah. I was supposed to exercise today. But there is no time for dreamers.

So it goes. Go go goat photos.

A new box for the goats to stand on. Trying to avoid the mud.

And a goatlog. With sunshine and mud. Goats balancing on things to avoid the mud. Bruce and Clark scared of the gym ball, play fighting and climbing on my back. A cucumber for Mia. And such fun.

And that’s all for this week folks, see you in the next one.
