Qualm Before The Storm
Another quiet week. We had a nice little rainstorm yesterday. The worst had passed by the time I got going to see the goats. And I managed to get them to go out in the rain to get some green in them. By the time I was going home the rain had intensified again. Walking in the summer rain is really delightful. Although, for summer it’s really not warm enough. Sigh. I’d like just a little more 25+ days. But I guess in Denmark you can’t expect that.
At least I have my double space heaters for exercise. That’s really working well. It’s like hellish torture, I mean “enhanced coercive exercise technique”. But I love it. It’s almost my favourite part of the week, the exercise days. Pushing myself physically. And then the reward afterwards when looking at the weight. Good stuff.
Enjoying the time with the goats as well, of course. The playground is still closing early these days. Because of the summer holiday I guess. Dennis gets off before I’m ready to go home. So that means I get to let the goats in when I leave every day. I enjoy that. Seeing them run to the stable and letting them in for their food. But even though that’s fun for me, I’d rather the goats have more time outside. Hopefully they will again soon.
We have to find out what will happen to Peanut and Popcorn too. I’m dreading having to say goodbye to them. It’s always awful. I have offered to sponsor a castration or two. Since we lost Kamel I thought maybe we could have room to keep, at least one. I guess I shouldn’t get my hopes up. But I do. Dennis has promised to talk to Alice about it. All hooves crossed. I love those boys.
On to goat photos. Starting with a couple of trending hashtags.
And videos.
And that’s all for this week, folks. See you in the next one.

We went for three full days without rain – then it rained both of the next two days. We had another 1 1/2 inches of rain this morning. Then it clears off and gets hot and humid.
The goats were out on their benches till the last minute before they headed for shelter. Goatzies don’t like rain at all. Snickers even takes cover when it thunders.
That would be nice if you could keep one of the kids. They might want to get another female so there would be more babies though.
We get so attached to the baby donkeys at the farm where Snicker’s Mom lives. It is hard to see them leave when you have watched them grow up and have played with them.
They start liking to be scratched and get more friendly. Hopefully by playing with them, they will stay sweet at their new homes and have a good life with their new people.

It’s incredibly hard having to say goodbye, yes. Why can’t our mamas make some girl goats, they are much easier to keep! Oh dear. Bodil is always saying that the people who buy our kids are lucky because they get so tame and friendly goats. They’re used to being around humans. One human at least, me!
