Good goat times today. Things seem good. If I didn’t know that Mia had been sick last week, I probably wouldn’t have guessed it now. She seems pretty much back to her normal self. Running for the chance of treats, shoving others out of the way, giving me smooches and her paw for scritches and just generally present and full of the goat spirit. Just how we like it. Hopefully there won’t be any setbacks or anything, but I think we’re good. I didn’t let her have any pasta yet, but I did slip her a few raisins. Smaller and easiler digestible. A little raisin may not fill a lot in a big goat tummy, but it still gives off that ‘ooh he’s giving me a treat’ endorphin rush i think. And I got them some greens too.
The weather cooled down as well. Comfortably cool. Some rainshowers, but not too heavy. I decided to walk the walk home in the light summer rain. Feels good man. Here’s hoping we’ll have a good rest of the summer. I gotta try and see if I can ask if maybe it possibly is ok for me to maybe take the goats out of the pen again. I don’t think I will be allowed to do it anymore, but can’t hurt to ask. I do miss that.

Wow. I know most of you don’t care about the soccerballs, but I just gotta write this out and get it out of my system.
Denmark just beat Russia 4-1 and we are through to the knockout stages in the European Championship. What a crazy crazy crazy insanen tournament it has been so far for Denmark. It started with LITERALLY one of our players dying on the field. More or less forced to play the game we lost to Finland. Then the next game against Belgium we got off to a great start. Went ahead 1-0 and played really well. But ended up losing that game in the end. So two losses before the last game in the group stage. At one point tonight we went from being up 2-0 and hearing that Belgium had scored against Finland which would give us second place in the ground and we’d qualify. Then in one minute Russia got a weak penalty and scored to 2-1 and news came in that Belgium’s goal was disallowed after VAR video check. So then we were back out. But in the end, we won 4-1 and Belgium won 2-0. Which gives us second place in the group and we qualify for the last 16. What an insane rollercoaster ride. And for the first time in a long long time the Danish team is actually kind of exciting to watch, with promising players. Now we’re facing Wales in the next round. And with all due respect ot Wales, that is one of the easier opponents we could get in this tournament. But who knows what will happen. Who knows where the rollercoaster goes next.
When soccerfootball is good, it’s great.
After Eriksen’s collapse I had kind of written off this tournament. I thought we were going to go out and I wouldn’t even care, it just didn’t matter. But now he is doing well, and we pulled off a miracle in the end. No one, but no one, could have predicted how this all went down.
So. Yay sportsteam. Phew.

Good goat times today. Mostly. Don’t worry, Mia is still fine. And the weather was nice and warm, with a lot of sunshine later on. Unfortunately I managed to hurt myself. I think I bent a chest .. bone.. thing. You know like when you bruise a rib? Which I’ve done 3 or 4 times. Wait. How far up does the rib cage go? Hah, I’m really exposing how dumb I am here. I failed the imaginary anatomy class. Does the rib cage go all the way up to the next? Are there ribs under your chest? What even is a body and how does life? Anyway. Some bone in there. I was getting fresh water for the goats and I leaned over the fence to put the bucket into the fence. And I pressed my chest against the fence. And felt it immediately. It felt a lot like some of the bruised ribs I’ve had. Not as bad as that one time when I was running with Palle, you might remember the video. But it definitely hurt. I think I have pretty brittle bones. One of the bruised ribs in the past was also just basically from leaning into something. I’m just a walking bag of glass bones I guess. I can’t count how many times I broke legs and arms as a kid. I know I once told the story of how I broke my arm on the last day of school before the summer holiday. And then there’s all the other medical problems. Sheesh.
Well, it wasn’t horrible. But I knew it wasn’t great. Afterwards I wanted to move a pallet that was a bit stuck, and when I pulled on it I felt the pain in my chest. Not ‘I’m heaving a heart attack’ chest pain, but ‘there’s some one in there that’s broken or bent or bruised’ pain. And there’s this big empty water trough that I like to use to balance my camera on when I don’t have the tripod out. Normally I can lift it easy peasy. This time, it hurt. And then when I sat down, leaning my weight on my arm. It hurt.
So that’s just great. I guess that means 3-5 weeks of pain. Hopefully it won’t be too bad. My only concern is that I hope it won’t hurt when I breathe. Since it’s kinda over the lungs there. I guess I’ll know tomorrow. It’s always the day after that you start really feeling it. It doesn’t feel as bad as the lower ribs right now though. With those I could barely move without being in pain. Hopefully won’t be as bad this time.
Hmm, I had the camera set up to film when I was getting water. We may have another “Lasse breaks a rib” video to look forward to! Next up on Denmark’s Funniest Home Goat Videos.
All the goating was good though, and I’m just happy Mia is doing well. That’s all that matters.
I’ll just have to get aspirin toppings on my pizzas for a while.

Doctor Mia sending healing energy right into my ouwie. She was resting with her head on my chest. Luckily it didn’t hurt. Not like I could say no to her anyway. I think she may have dozed off. She was snoring and then suddenly she made a little whimpering noise, almost likes he had a nightmare. Then back to snoring. So sweet.

If Keiko ever did come to visit us, I would not be surprised if she ended up like Sassy in this photo. Face wedged in between two goat butts.

Feeling fairly ok today. Hurts a bit if I push or pull too much with my right arm. And I feel kinda worn down. But not too bad. Nothing like with the bruised ribs in the past.

Since the video of me falling with Palle and breaking a rib was so popular, here is the video of me breaking my sternum yesterday.
Or bruising or bending or whatever. Don’t worry. If I hadn’t told you, you wouldn’t know anything happened. I literally don’t make a sound and just walk out of frame. But that moment where I put the bucket down on the ground, that’s when I felt bone give way in my chest. So, that happened.

Good soccerballsports times today. Denmark beats Wales 4-0 and qualifies for the Quarter Finals in the European Championships. Next Saturday we’ll be facing the Czech Republic or the Netherlands. It’ll be a tough game, but we’re not without chances. After the insane start to the tournament, we have steadily improving. A good game that we lost against Belgium and then big wins against Russia and Wales. And coincidentally today is the 29th year anniversary of Denmark sensationally winning the European Championship in 1992. One of the biggest surprised in footballsoccersports history. Can we do it again?
No, probably not. My money’s on Italy or Belgium. But we got a good team and we get a lot of sympathy and support because of what happened to Eriksen. Even before the tournament started there were people calling us outsiders.
We’ll see. Even if we go out in the quarters that’s still a fine result for a tiny country like Denmark. We’ve done well under difficult circumstances.
Everybody three cheers for balls!

btw, I don’t know if I’ve told you lately. But I love you.
I was once alone, literally and figuratively. It means a lot to me that there are people who care about me and want to around me, onlinely speaking. Especially cool people who make me feel loved and appreciated, who make me laugh and cry. Who make me raise an eyebrow and a metaphorical toast. And a real toast, when i’m eating toast. Which I probably will be doing tomorrow.
Anyway. I always feel bad that I am not good at keeping up with the facebox feed. But I yam what I yam. I hope you know I appreciate you being around. Sometimes you’re my lifeline. Sometimes you’re the reason I smile. Sometimes you’re the reason I clear my browsing history because I googled something about butts. Wouldn’t have it any other way.
Sorry to those who felt they had to leave along the way. Thank you to those that stay.

Mia and Sky snuggled up. I love them together. Big gal and little gal. Adoptive mom and the ‘kid’ of the flock, who knows the safest space is next to the big protector. I don’t see Milo sitting alone with Mia that often, but Sky is often with her. And then once in while they have their little go around, I still think it’s when Sky is in heat probably. Her tail is wagging and she’s kinda bugging Mia and they butt head a little, bur you know Mia really isn’t threatened. It’s like a little family that now and then have to be a little dysfunctional, but then they go back to the sweet loving togetherness. Or maybe I’m just humanizing. But they are really sweet together.

Bad news from the playground. Mia is sick. Stomach problems. We don’t know for sure what happened, but she probably ate something that wasn’t good for her. The vet has seen her and she’s on medication. For the stoamch and for the pain. Apparently she was in a lot of pain yesterday. I am glad they got the vet out there on a Sunday to take care of her. I knew something was wrong this morning when she didn’t come running to the fence with the others. She was just standing in the goat house looking out at me. And when I got over to her she didn’t want any treats. Just stood still and stared out at nothing. She did come out of the house a bit with me. And she gave me smooches when I made kissy noises at her. So she’s not completely beside herself. But definitely not good. It reminds me a little of when Kamel was sick. Not when she passed, but the year before. She was down like that with tummy problems. She got back to health then. Hopefully Mia will too. It’s scary seeing her like that. Mostly I just sat with her.
When it was time for me to go home she did get up. And stood in the goat house and watched me give the others their goodbye treats as I walked off. Which made me feel suuuper guilty. I wish I could stay with her 24/7. I just don’t have the capacity for that, like I did in my younger days. But it’s good that she’s able to get up and aware of things. There’s not much to do now but let her rest and let the meds hopefully get her back to health. I’ll try to be with her as much as I can. Just want her to be okay and back to herself again.

Back from seeing the goats again. Seeing some improvement in Mia’s condition. A little bit more herself, but still clearly not well. More up and about though. I brought a branch with leaves and she slowly ate some of that. And later on she was grazing out in the pen for a bit. She even went for my treat pocket a couple of times and for my backpack. Of course I couldn’t give her any treats, but I think it’s a good sign that her instinct is there. She gave me her hoof one time too, like she usually does for scratchies. On the downside she seemed to have a little harder time walking. But all in all I do feel like there’s progress and she’s more herself. This time when it was time for me to go she came with everyone else to the fence, and was looking up at me like “you always give me treats before you go”. Even pushed Sassy away while I was messing with the key to lock the gate. And when I walked along the fence she followed along, slower than the others, but with her tail up. We’re definitely not out of the woods yet, but i’m cautiously optimistic. Just gotta give her time to recuperate.
Thank you everyone.

Out getting some greens, must be a good sign.

The newbs had a huuge row today, while I was sitting with Mia. Especially Sassy and Nuller were going at it. Honestly, I can’t remember ever seeing our goats have such a long and hard headbutting battle. The goat house was literally shaking when they hit heads. It got so bad I actually started worrying they’d hurt each other andI got up to try and seperate them. I normally never do that since, well they have to work it out on their own. Settle the hierarchy. I wonder if it was because Mia’s been down for the count for a few days. Maybe that has given Nuller ideas of taking over leadership, he was challenging Sassy quite heavily. Meanwhile she was kicking up dust (figuratively since they wre inside the house) and ramming him right back. I’m not sure how long they kept going, I wasn’t really able to keep them apart and eventually the battle went outside the house while I stayed in with Mia. Well, at least they didn’t end up knocking themselves into ortbit. Goobers.

I didn’t make it out today. I guess I was pretty exhausted. Ended up sleeping around 15 hours. But it’s ok. Give Mia a chance to rest without the clingy human. I’ll go see her in the morning. Bring a boatload of greens so she can have that if she’s feeling up to it. Feels weird not giving out treats. I’m so used to that just being part of what I do, like tying my shoelaces.

Good goat times today. Yes, pretty good. Mia seems to be on the mend. She felt a lot more like herself today. Not completely back to normal. Still a bit slower than usual. But her spirit seems a lot better. I brought some greens and she came over to the fence with the others. Pushed Lily away when she tried to get at the greens. And she was handing me her paw for scratchies a lot. Standing still and leting kids pet her at the fence. And chewing her cud, which is really good because that means her stomach is working.
Of course nothing is sure yet, but I feel pretty confident that she will be okay now. Just gotta give her a bit of space and time. Hopefully she will get back to normal.
A hot one today. Upwards of 29C/84F. That’s close to the maximum we get in Denmark. Bit of cloud and wind made it bearable, but yeah a day for not doing much in the goat pen. Which is just fine by me as long as everyone is doing okay.
Thank you everyone for the love and support. Sorry if I’m missing stuff on the facebox, obviously I’ve been a bit distracted this week.

All 6 goats in the frame. Always a treat when I manage that. Although I don’t know how well you can see them all with the lighting differene between shade and sun. We got Lily to the rightmost, then Nuller and Sassy. Mia in the shelter, Milo outside the shelter barrier and Sky to the right of him.
