Round One
Today I went to the playground. Had to sign my monthly time slip. I typed “sing” by mistake. I wish I had to sing the time slip: Anyway. Also had to accept the christmas party invitation. It’s two weeks after the Greenland trip. What to worry about first? It’s always nice to have choices. You don’t want to limit yourself to just worrying about one thing. That’s too boring.
I got to test my squirt bottle on Magnethe as well.
I was foolish enough to keep it in my bag. I should have had it out and ready. Because she came straight for me as soon as I opened the gate to the fold. And she got me pretty good. She hit me on the leg with her horn. And right in the spot that she had previously hit, you remember the nice long bruise I had? Ouch. Way to go for the sore spot, you crazy goat. Eventually I managed to get the bottle out of my bag and I squirted her straight in the face. She immediately stopped, quickly moved away from me and gave me a look that said “What was that? Where the hell did that come from? I better not mess with this dude again”. Oh yes. Plume has the power now. And then she was all good and acting nice and normal. So that was a succes. Now it remains to be seen whether she has learnt her lesson or if she’ll try and take me on again the next time I come.
It really works a treat, the squirt bottle. Just like with Thor. Just one squirt and bam, they’re at a safe distance and forgetting all about being wild.
I like you much more when you’re not being wild, Magnethe! A typical picture of her, enjoying her scratches.
And Vanilje with the bunny, they are obviously new best friends. So it would seem.
And now back to worrying about things!

Vanilje and bunny: BFF! That is such a cute picture, Plume.
Gee, you really DO go more places than I do. Greenland and then a Christmas party. You must tell me your secret on getting invited to these places. I’m terribly, terribly jealous, you know!
Send me the gray bunny and I won’t be so jealous, okay?
I wish the Demon Donkey girl would get the point of the squirt bottle. Goats seem to figured out its purpose very quickly. Snickers comes over and tries to eat the bottle. “I’m not afraid of any old bottle”. “I’m Demon Donkey and I rule the world.”
Donkey girl stepped on my left foot, twice. The bruise was just about gone when she stepped on the exact same place. How do they do that?

Bravo, Plume – I knew it would work!
Debster, maybe you need to talk to the Donkey Whisperer!?

Debster – BFF, I love it! Hehe.
I wish I could tell you how to get invited to all these things, but there’s no real secret. It’s just my outgoing personality and way with words. I am Mr Popularity.
I’m afraid that if I were to send you the bunny then Vanilje would tag along. And Magnethe probably wouldn’t want to be left all alone, so you’d soon have a whole caravan of goats and bunnies and maybe a plume or two. It’d be like a marching band, only without instruments.
That Snickers is an evil genius. Trying to eat your weapon right out of your hand! Remind me never to attack a monkey with a banana. Not that I’d ever attack a monkey. But you know.
Desiree – I wonder if it would work if you were attacked by a bear. Squirt them in the face with water and they’d run away? Hmm. I seem to remember stories about people surviving shark attacks by giving them a punch on the nose. But maybe that’s an urban legend. I would prefer not to have to find out really.

Plume, so you’re telling me I need to be more outgoing and I too will be invited to parties and trips?
Note to self: work on being Ms. Popularity in my spare time. (What spare time?)
Desiree: That donkey needs a donkey whisperer or a donkey shouter or something. She was better behaved tonight, but who knows about the next day.
PS: I still want Mr. Gray Bunny. I guess the rest of you can come along with him if you want.
Plume: yes, you stick your two fingers in the shark’s eyes, punch it in the nose, and make that funny noise like the Three Stooges make.
Then swim like hell to get out of there! If it’s a Land Shark, do the same thing except run like hell.
