Springtime In Denmark

I’m humbled to receive this award, that I stole from the back of a limo while Warren Beatty was out having a smoke.

Good goat times today. But the weather tricked me. I knew there would probably still be snow outside. I was not expecting it to be the most snow we’ve had this season. Or that it would be still coming down. I’m not saying it was a snow storm, but it was coming down well. The pavement cleared by homeowners with shovels as I was heading out, was snowed over again by the time I was heading back.
I had a foot therapy session in the morning. Barely made it there in time, since I wasn’t expecting wading through snow. My legs are going to be well done tomorrow. I was a little later than usual at the goats because of the session. Too bad. It would have been fun to be the one to let them out and watch their reaction to the snow. Instead I got their reaction to me when I arrived. Which was… scattered bleating from inside. No one coming running to the fence. Guess I can’t blame them. So I went into the pen to find them. All four were in the goat house. How nice! Not like they were all huddled up together, but they were all in there doing their thing. Which was mostly snacking on old christmas trees and hay. I feel pretty sure that Yogi, bless her heart, wouldn’t have stayed in there with the big girls. She would have been alone in the shelter or inside the stable. But we got a good little group forming. Of course the big girls are still making the rules and putting the little ones in their place now and then. But I think it’s going pretty well. And I wouldn’t be surprised if Milo is planning to take over the whole operation. He was butting heads with both Mia and Mio today! Nudging his face against theirs and doing little headbutting motions. Haha. I wonder if he’s going to be able to take charge when he’s bigger. He’s got the spirit. It’s fun when I’m giving treats to Mia and he comes over and circles around us and you can almost hear the gears working in his little head. “How close can I get before triggering the Mia defense system? Can I get in on the treat action?”. He’s going places.
Most of the time was spent in the goat house today. Loving on them all, watching the snow fall. Springtime in Denmark. I remember when Decembers were like this. Good thing there’s nothing wrong with the climate, amirite?
Yeah, lots of snow today. So that was… pretty great, really. It was actually much more unpleasant last week with the icy wind. A harsh, cold wind is worse than the snow. The snow is just around freezing, but because the wind wasn’t so hard it didn’t feel half as cold. And even though my system can’t handle the low temperatures anymore, there’s still a part of me that loves the snow. That loves walking through the piles of powdery prettyiness. We’ve barely had any snow this season, so I’m glad we got one good snowfall. Even though it’s supposed to be spring.
There’s just something sweet about goating in the snow.

Please stop not objectifying me. I may be a vegetarian, but I am also a piece of meat. I demand that you ogle me. Cat calls and meows are welcome too. I’m too sexy for this snow, no way I’m disco prancing.

Finally, a sign that tells the truth.
“Vej” means road in Danish. But if I painted in an R…. “vejr” means weather in Danish. So Novembervejr would be November weather.

Hey, in case you thought that Trump deep down was an alright guy because he didn’t go through with that whole lifting of the elephant trophy ban? Guess again.
Cue people explaining why it’s actually good for elephants that the trophy ban is lifted. And then maybe explain why it’s good for the bears that hunters can shoot them in the face while hibernating. And why global warming isn’t that bad because no one likes when it’s cold out.
Fuck the world, maximise the profits.
Oh by the way. Kids in Denmark watch American movies and TV shows and play American computer gamas and when I was 12 I played “war” with plastic guns with my school friends. Don’t blame all your mass shootings on violent media. And anyway, you try and get the NRA to accept a ban on guns in movies and TV. See how well that goes. Now let’s start a trade war or two, it’s not enough to destabilize our own country.
I hope you’ll consult the elephant on the case-by-case basis. Maybe you can get the school shooters to consult your kids before shooting them in the school yard too.

My internet just outed a little. Back after a couple of minutes. But if I go missing, it’s either that or I’m being held hostage by a rogue gang of streetsign vendors.

My mother called me to let me know that the Danish prime minister is apparently visiting my neighbourhood tomorrow.
To be honest, it’s a little rude of him not to call ahead. Does he just expect me to have enough pizza to feed him too?! (He’s a big guy with small hands. You know the type).
Okay, maybe he isn’t coming to visit ME specifically. As I have mentioned on occasion, I happen to live in one of the biggest ‘ghettos’ in Denmark. Although all the construction is aiming to change that. Maybe he’s coming to inspect the progress. Or maybe. Just maybe… Denmark is finally ready to appoint its first MINISTER OF GOATS. Thus the new world order begins.

Good goat times today. Cold and snowy. But not as bad as the last snow walk. And generally a beautiful day, light and fluffy anad pretty. I managed to get Mia jumping again. This time I didn’t need to be holding one of the babies. I just did what I did in those videos with Palle. Sort of stop-start, pretending I was going to run ahead and she started jumping about. I love it. It’s like she still has a spark of Palle in her. I hope I can keep bringing it out. Fun in the snow and lots of cuddles in the goat house. I’m glad we got some snowdays, even if it’s supposed to be spring. Like I told Finbarr, looking forward to sitting in sunshine with the goats.

The goat house is a really nice place to sit when it’s snowing. Also, one of the things I enjoy about it is the clickity clack of goat hooves. Especially when the little ones are inside and then the big girls arrive and enter. Then you hear the fast pitter patter of paws as the little ones rush to safe distance. Click… clack…. click…. clack…. *big girls arrive* clickclackclickclackclickclack

So, it’s a mental health issue, not a gun issue? Well maybe you should pour some of that fat NRA money into that so people who need PTSD treatment can actually get it. It was probably easier for him to get guns than to get that treatment. It’s so fucking awful. And you want to arm veterans and put them in schools to protect the children? Are you going to give guns to the children and get them to protect the veterans then?
It makes me think of that Simpsons bit where Mr Burns has ALL the diseases which keeps him alive because it’s the perfect storm and all the diseases keep eachother in check. It seems like that’s what America’s solution to the gun problem will be. EVERYONE needs a gun to keep everyone in check.
For fuck’s sake it’s so sad. For the female victims. For the veteran. From the information out so far he served America in Afghanistan and was kicked off a PTSD treatment program. You give tax breaks for private jets but you don’t take care of the people that risk their lives for your country god damn motfherf

If only there was some way to make the trip to the goats easier in this kind of weather. If only there was some kind of magical way to get there without having to walk in the cold snow. Maybe some kind of fantastical, large, yellow vehicle piloted by someone with perfect eyesight that let you ride on it for a fee. If only such a thing was real, if only humanity could inv
