Pas På Det Ikke Stikker…
I know I promised an entry about my mountain climbing, but I accidentally spent the day watching football and Stargate and playing computer games. Oops! So it’s not ready. But to appease your understandable anger and disappointment here are some traditional Sunday videos instead.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Q_IPkLXn2dE. Quintessential goat behaviour. If they pick up the smell of food then they are unstoppable. Here Per is feeding bread to the chickens. It’s not long before he is surrounded.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=bEEXp0a17fc. Three scenes of a boy who wanted to get to know Vanilje. The two first times he ends up running away scared. But then he discovers the secret to making friends with a goat. Just offer up a carrot.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Rwrc220EDLs. While the humans are adoring the piglets, Magnethe and Vanilje are digging into the food containers. Magnethe is blocking the way though, so see how Vanilje tries to get her share…
There you go.
It’s been a nice and quiet weekend. Tomorrow is Monday and my day off. I haven’t gotten around to talking to Trine at TMU about changing my schedule yet. So Monday off. And then there’s a little easter holiday coming up. I shall have to see if I can get Mads to dress up as the easter bunny. And then dress up the bunnies as goats. Just to confuse everyone.
UPDATE: If the video links give you a youtube error then try accessing them through my video list instead. The three most recent ones.

Hehe… so if I kick Magnethe in the head, will she let _me_ in the food bin? :)

Stu, Magnethe might let you in the food bin, but Vanilje will soon kick you out!
I think that is one way to tell if your goat is sick . . . when it doesn’t want to eat. I think healthy goats are hungry ALL the time.
Alright, Plume. We want to see pictures of you planting the Danish flag on top of the mountain peak. . . in the snow . . . surrounded by mountain goats . . . or was it calves?

Stu – Speaking as the offical Danish human/goat ambassador I cannot recommend kicking goats :)
Debster – Coincidentally Vanilje wasn’t keen on eating today. Spooky. That’s like Scrooge not wanting to make money or Santa not wanting to give out presents.
Don’t make fun of my calves! Mooh!

I like calves. I wasn’t making fun (hee, hee) of your calves. Do you have calves? Moooooooo! How many do you have????
