Tired like only a Monday could be. Very, very tired.
Good times at the playground though. Inspired by Luis’ mention of the old videos of the goat kids on my back, I decided to try and see if I could get Vanilje to climb me. I leaned over invitingly…
And she did. Well, she’s too big to actually get all the way up and stand on my back. But she did try. And she did try to eat my hair too. Maybe she mistook it for a haystack, I would not blame her.
Also a bunch of kids came around, from a school or daycare I think.
The had brought spaghetti for the goats. Not boiled, of course. But hard spaghetti. Making lovely crunchy sounds.
When kids come to feed the goats they usually want to feed Vanilje most of the time, because she is the little, cute one. Guess who doesn’t like that plan?
It always leads to a funny, frantic scene. As Vanilje runs up to get some food, then Magnethe comes running to chase her away so she can get something and then Mads comes to chase both of them away because he wants it all for himself. And then on the other side of the fence the kids are running around, taking new positions so they can still feed Vanilje or Magnethe. So all in all there is a whole lot of running around. It’s fun to watch, I can tell you.
Sille was watching from the other side. Looks like she’s ready to come back inside. Waiting at the gate.
And there is Mads’ eye. I like goat eyes. I know they freak some people out. But once you get used to them then they are lovely. Or maybe it’s just me being goat crazy and all.

When I was a very little boy, my mother would give me one dry spaghetti stick to keep my occupied. She said it was good for my then growing teeth. Even now I’d take a stick out and chew on it.
Maybe I was a goat in a previous life? Mmmmm….that would be neat!
It looks as though she tackled you from behind, but it looks fun. I’ve known cats and dogs to do that to me, too.
So, Plume, do you think you and I were goats in a previous life?
Mmmmmm…I wouldn’t mind. I think we would all be happy if everyone were goats and eating spaghetti sticks.

Luis – I have been known to check spaghetti sticks too. Usually only when I’m boiling a portion, though.
I would like to think we have been goats in a previous life. But more importantly I’d like to think that I’ll be a goat in my next life. Then I’d be happy.
Hmm, maybe I should get Vanilje into football. She can tackle big guys like me. She’ll be a superstar quarterback.

Vanilje looks like she has a toothpick in her mouth.

I like goat eyes, too. John-Boy has brown eyes and Billy has very light colored blue/gold eyes.
Vanilje is such a pretty little goat.

annie – She really does. That pose sort of reminds me of Humphrey Bogart. Or just some old-time detective.
Deb – Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Or the goat, I mean.
