Good goat times today. A bit cooler and with more clouds than we’ve had reently. But some good sunny spells too.
I got some exercise chasing goats. I had Sky out of the pen for one of our specialtimes, but when I was trying to get her back in the pen Mia managed to slip out of the gate. Uh oh. Then while I was trying to get Mia back in Mmilo slipped out. Haha. So the three of them started attacking the newly growing greens on the trees outside the pen. Haha. I wish I could just take them out for walks again like in the old days. I gotta find a chance to ask about it.
Had some nice visitors too. One kid went ‘ewww it’s pooping”when Mia started ropping berries. Her adult asked what was wrong and the girl said “I was looking at its.. at its..” and the adult finished her sentence “at its butt? We all have butts”. Yes, the old classic. We all have butts and we all poop. Most of us just don’t do it in front of a crowd.
..usually.

Mia still has her old trick. I felt bad dragging her back into the goat pen. But gotta laugh when she refuses to come and just sits herself down. It’s like trying to budger a cargo container from a freight ship. Or just the freight ship. And she’s no dummy. Normally she’ll come running if I even put my hand near the treat pocket. But when she knows I’m trying to get her to do something she doesn’t want to do then it doesn’t matter how many pasta wheels I hold in front of her face. She’s not falling for that.
Somehow I managed to get her back in the pen after a while.

For the premium subscribers, here’s a bit of the goat escape yesterday. I’d put Benny Hill music on it if it wasn’t for the copyrites.

Good goat times today. An eventful day. It started right away in the morning when I got there. A guy came over to the fence and said “you’re Lasse, right?”. I affirmed that and he introduced himself. He was Lars, who runs the playground. To be honest I am not entirely sure if we’ve already met or if he’s new or what. With my bad memory and blindness, we may have said hello before. But anyway, he just wanted to thank me for what I was doing with the goats. Basically telling me to keep up the good work. They appreciate that I come and hang with the goats and all I do and he was impressed with how big the facebook page is and by my bond with the goats. Apparently some of the staff get headbutted if they go in the pen. Haha, i’m not sure if that’s just by the bandit Milo or by everyone. The morning feeder guy doesn’t seem to have any problems with them, and I don’t think Ophelia, Anne or Alice have problems. But anyway, it was nice to hear that they appreciate what I’m doing.
He also wanted to ask me if I would be comfortable with more people starting to show up. I guess they’re getting ready to really open up the playground like the beforepandemic times again. I told him that was fine. As long as the goats are the focus I’m just fine helping out. But dumb as I were I did not ask ifit would be okay to start taking the goats out for walks in the area again. This would have been the perfect time to ask, since Alice asked me to stop because of the starting pandemic. But I’ll have to ask some other time.
But that was a nice way to start the day.
More stuff to talk about, but I need to grab a bite to eat so I’ll talk in pictures later.

We had a lot of visitors today. Several groups of kids came to see the goats. And they put on quite a show. Getting petted and fed. And also, pooping and butting heads. And humping. At one point Mia tried to mount Lily and a little girl went “The big goat wants to get on top of the little one!” haha yeah. And then later Milo was humping on Sky and one of the adult supervisors went “not in front of the children!”. Haha. Lots of fun. There was another “everyone has a butt” conversation too. They sure do.

And here’s Sky entertaining the visitors. Everyone loves ‘the little one’.
She had a rough day, though. Lots of complaining from her. Disgruntled bleats. There was a lot of headbutting and chasing today and you know she often gets the short end of the stick. One particularly mortifying time Milo was trying to mount and then he farted just as he got up on her! Like his fart propelled him up on her. Sheesh. That was obscene. And pretty hilarious. But yeah she did a lot of talking today, most of it probably meaning ‘leave me alone!’. But I did my best to make sure she got the fair share of cuddles and treats at least.

Mia again entertaining the crowd. She’s so good at that. Being poked and prodded and kids screaming in alternate fear and delight, nothing phases her.
Oh and you may be wondering, did we have any escapes today? Yes, yes, we did. First off was shortly after the nice chat i had with Lars. Some kids had been at the fence after that and suddenly the gate swung open. I think a kid must have removed the stick I put in the lock. Well, luckily Mia was so surprised that she only took a few steps out of the gate. Before she started getting ideas of going to the greens I managed to shoo her back in. And then I got the other one in, I thinkit was Lily. That only left Milo out of the pen. I tried getting him back in once but failed. Luckily the little scaredy cat did not want to go down to the greens on his own. I was just leaning on the gate looking at him and considering my next move, and he was looking back up at me. And then the morning feeder guy came with a bucket full of some chow and when he went into the goat pen Milo, and everyone else, followed him to the goat house. So that solved that.
But that wasn’t all.
When it was time for me to leave Mia managed to push the gate open and got out. And this time she didn’t hesitate. And unlike Milo she’snot scared to go off on her own. So while I secured the gate she ran down to the greens. Instead of going for the trees like the last time she ran along the fence and to the left. So I was rushing after her, and there’s not a lot of room there next to the fence so it took me a bit to actually overtake her and get in front of her so I could start pushing her back. Thankfully at that point she was still in ‘on the move’ mode which meant I just had to guide her back towards the gate. It was only when we got back to the bench she went into ‘I’ma sit down because I don’t wanna go where you want me to go’ mode. But at that point it didn’t take too much effort to get her back through the gate. Haha. But yeah I got some more exercise chasing goats.
Quite the day. I think that’s all the anecdotes now though and I’m tired so I’m going t go to bed and not be budged.

Good exercise today. I’ve dropped about 10 pounds in 3ish weeks after getting more serious. Feels good man. But I wish I had iced creams. Seeing results helps the motivation. So I’ll try to keep it going for a bit.
