Good goat times today. A little warmer than last week, but it didn’t feel it. Cold wind and frosty rain. Snow on the ground the goats can cope with if they have to. But frosty rain?! No, thanks. So we stayed in the goat house the whole time. It’s a day like this when you miss the goat house at the old place, because that was just bigger and nicer and neater. But okay, it’st the company that matters. And the company was great of course.
I almost managed to teach Milo to shake hoof! He had almost a couple of times sort of. But then my frozen gloved hands started fumbling with the treat bag and we lost moment and well, he doesn’t have the patience for that and it all went sideways. But maybe there’s hope for him yet!
And Sky had a little altercation with one of the redshirts. I think it just got a little too close for comfort and Sky did what goats do and headbutted it away. It wasn’t really hard or anything and I’m not even sure she connected. But it was enough to get the clucker to squawk and get out the way.
And then I had a hard walk home. The freezing rain on the freezing ground. It was like a skating rink. Jeanette even warned me before I left. But I’d already seen it on the forecast. There was an advisory out from the Danish weather service, that’s how bad it was. I had a couple of near-stumbles, but i kept mostly off the pavement, walking in the snow that was still left on the grass and dirt at the sides of most wakways. Much easier to walk in snow than on ice. So I got home without broken ribs or soaked pantaloons. I wish it was srping soon.

Jeanette was a little slow refilling the hayholder, so Mia thought she’d help herself.

Happy seasonal holidays to all my friends on here. Thank you for being the gifts that keep on giving. It’s been a rough time lately, and I don’t know how I’d get through it without you.
Now, sorry for jingling that ball in your face.

Good goat times today. A little bit warmer now, up to 5C/41F. Which makes a huge difference. Just to be out of the freezing. We even got a bit of sunshine today. And we got out for a bit, despite the wet ground and soggy old leaves. Just nice to get out and about.
Had some visitors at the fence. And for once it wasn’t kids. A young man and two young ladies. The goats raced down the hill to say hello. I think they have missed getting attention, there haven’t been a lot of kids around because of the bad weather and vacation. So the three young people got some nice goat petting in and I answered some questions. Very nice.
Today was Jeanette’s last day before going on vacation for the holidays. We won’t see her again until January 2nd. So that’s a bit sad. We had a nice little chat and said our merry christmasses and happy new years. She’s left detailed notes for the replacement guy on feeding and stuff. I hope it goes well. Jeanette has complained to me a few times about other workers there not always following her directions. I wish Jeanette could work full time taking care of the goats. Not everyone is as good at it as her. But hopefully it will all go okay. The goats might not get to be outside as much during the holiday as normal, but as long as they get the food and water they need that’s most important. And I’ll try and get them out some times too. Hooves crossed all will be fine. First holidays at the new home. Hope Santa got our forwarding address.

Here’s Jeanette, doing her rounds refilling hay and food and water. Of course Milo demands she stops and pets him. They’ve gotten a nice bond.
We’ll miss Jeanette until January. Oh and she told me she’d been to see Sassy, Lily and Nuller. They are doing well. I didn’t get any more details than that, but the fact that they are doing well is what matters most anyway. They got through the big freezes ok. Hopefully we can go see them again some time in the new year.

You know what, I’m getting tired of goats. From now on I’m just going to hang out with chickens.
Ok ok I’m probably not fooling anyone. But I had some fun times with the cluckers today. At one point I was sitting on the floor of the goat hallway and had my legs outstretched and one by one three of them jumped up on my leg and onwards to get to the back part of the room. And then a little later the three of them one by one jumped on my leg to get back out. And a couple of times I managed to pet one of them and they sort of.. squatted down while I did it? I’m not sure if they liked being petted or if it was some kind of defensive or avoiding act. But in the past they have mostly just ran away when I reached out for them so I’d only get a quick touch and then they were out of reach. Not sure why the change in behaviour.
Oh and the visitors at the fence wasn’t the only thing that got the goats running today. At one point Milo and Mia was inside the goat house eating hay. And then on the other side of the playground one of the hens started squawking really loudly. And Mia and Milo came running out of the goat house with a startled expression like “WHAT THE CLUCK IS THAT?!?”. I wish i’d been filming because it looked so funny. Anyway. Feathers and furs for the fun today.

The cashier I have a crush on at the supermarket wished me a merry christmas today.
Okay, it’s not a real crush. I just hink she’s pretty and she’s always nice to me when I happen to get served by her. And okay, she wished a merry christmas to everyone in line at her register. But I don’t know, I think this could be the start of something wonderful.
Mainly because I bought shredded cheese to put on my pizza the next time I get one. It must be, love. Love love.

Here’s one of the cluckers stepping on my foot to get by me. I know I said they stepped on my leg, but I guess I misremembered. By the way, the tear in my pants is not from a chicken scratch. It’s just that i love these pants so much that I wear them even though they get teared. Periodically I get my mom to sew them up, but they usually get torn again at some point. And I don’t care because I’m a hobo. I’m fixing to buy a new pair of these, but it’s ‘temporarily out of stock’. So we’ll justh have to deal with it. Let’s just say it’s that cute cashier who’s been trying to tear my patns off me, yeah that’s the ticket.
Anyway, chickens stepping on your foot sure is less brutal than goats stepping on your foot! And trust me, i know.

As always, my sleeping schedule is quite messed up. So I’m going to head to bed now and dream a long trip. Tomorrow is Christmas in Denmark, so be good for goodness sake. Hope you all have a jolly season. Attached is a little video for the premium subscribers. Milo running in the snow last week. You also get to see me fall, but don’t worry it’s not bad like that video where i broke my rib. Here I was walking backwards filming Milo, and i forgot about the stack of old hay behind me. So I ended up tripping backwards and got a bit of a soggy bottom, but no broken bones or anything. And instead of a pained rattle you just hear me laughing.

Good christmastimes tonight. Back from the annual get-together with the family. Just mom and pa and my brother, as we do every christmas. A nice little family tradition. Mom does the cooking and I appreciate the rare home cooked meal. I got to sit in the comfy chair and watch the Disney show as I always do. And then the traditional ris-a-la-mande dessert. Peter got the almond this year, and I’m not saying there was foul play but I found it all very suspicious. Still, he’s the youngest so I guess we’ll just let him have it. Let the kids! Dad forgot to buy an almond prize anyway, so there was only the glory to fight for. And then a taxi ride home. No white christmas this year.
It’s always nice to celebrate christmas this way. Hard not to think about whether this will be the last one with all of us there, in body and mind. But hopefully there are a few ones more to. That’s my Christmas wish. I hope you’re all having a good time out there, whether you celebrate today or tomorrow or some other day or not at all. Best wishes for you all, from the Henriksens.

Jolly xmas to those who celebrate today. Hope it’s a merry one. My sleep rythm is even wackier than normal because of the christmas gathering, so I’m off to dreamland now and we’ll see when i make it out. Take care and remember to watch out for mistletoe.
