The Rainy Birthday
The major event this week was… Mia’s birthday! On Saturday. Three years old now. It seems like it’s been much longer than three years. But time is relative. I certainly enjoy my time with her, and the other goaties.
I was planning to throw her a little party. Bought a watermelon. I’ve never brought them that before. But then. The rain came. Rain and thunder and lightning. So that put a bit of a damper on things. But we still had a good time. The goats loved the watermelon. Once I split it open for them. And I got them out for some green salad, despite the rain. It was quite lovely standing under the trees, listening to the thunder and the goats munching grass. Good times even if it didn’t quite go as I had planned.
Happy birthday Mia!
In other fun news, I brought a cardboard box for the goats. To see if they’d play with it. Mia and Mio were somewhat scared of it. Palle and Peanut only really interested when I put food in it. But Popcorn does love to wrestle around with things. Be it my backpack, or me. And he gave the box a good thrashing too. Ended up standing in it at one point:
He’s such a sweet goofball.
And in other news, I got a lovely wall sticker from Desirée. I usually start every day with a Facebook status with a positive message about the day being good. And she sent me this:
It’s not very well adjusted, but luckily I don’t suffer from OCD. And I can see it from my computer, from my bed and from my exercise bike. Always a good reminder to think positively.
And now, let’s think of goats.
And videos.
And that’s all for this week, folks. See you in the next one.

Happy birthday, Mia! You look pretty good for a three year old goatzie. All of us born in August look much younger than we really are. My birthday is coming up on August 28th and I don’t look a day over 20! Hee, hee! Goatzies all over the world are laughing hard over that comment.
Some of the goatzies really seem to like tomatoes and some of them don’t. I’ve never tried giving our boys a tomato. John Boy sniffs everything first and by the time he decides he might like to try it, Billy or Snickers has devoured it.
Goat in a box. What will they think of next? Just add water and you can grow your own goat! Well, maybe not water as goatzies generally avoid getting watered.

Happy almost birthday! I hope you’ll have a lovely day with goats, donkey, humans and other critters!
The goaties all like the tomatoes really, it’s just that they don’t like them if one of the other goats have got their cooties on them! And Popcorn isn’t so advanced, they’re a little hard for him. But tomatoes are a big hit! With me too. I still eat lots of them. But the goats are happy taking my leftovers.
