It’s that time again. Time to catch up on the week’s goat times via the media of pictures and videos.

A closeup of Preben taking shelter inside from the rain

And here a little zoomed out. In retrospect this was a little redundant. But hey, the more goat pics the merrier.

Bob strolling towards me.

Kamel sniffing my hat. She still does that a lot, sniffs at me. My face especially. Always investigating.

Little Mia ready for action.

She is going at the vegetation quite fiercely now.

With her ears sticking out like propellers.

A progress report on her horns. You no longer have to look for them, they are right there. Only a couple of weeks ago you could barely see them.

Me and the baby.

And there she is standing on my back. I do enjoy it so.

Look at the view from up here.

And caught in mid-jump off my back.

She can lick her own nose haha.

You may now resume the pedicure, human.

The leaves have fallen and the goats enjoy the spoils. Mio pulled her leash out of the ground and I picked it up and let her walk around the fold picking up all the fallen leaves that she could get at. Good times.

And now videos.

First from Tuesday. Raisins for the baby. She loves them. When the rain started the goats escaped from the fold and went for cover. Mio and Preben were both tied down, but there was no stopping them and soon they were back in the stable. I did manage to get them out under the canopy too, though.

And from Thursday:

Most of the video is Mia jumping around on my back. She got a new habit of trying to stand on my head too. It is somewhat uncomfortable. But the things we do for our goat kids, eh? Also at one point Mia was standing on my back and mama Mio was standing right next to us. So Mia tried to walk from my back to Mio’s back. She got her two front legs up on Mio’s back and had her two hind legs on my back. And then she was trying to figure out how to proceed from there. And after a little consideration she decided to just make a jump for it. And she landed on the ground on the other side of Mio. Pretty cute.

Other than that not much going on. The sun is long gone. Grey and rainy days. Too cold for my liking.

Oh well, only 6 months until it gets warm again.

Mio’s baby has finally got herself a name. And it’s Mia. Sweet, little Mia.

The kids at the playground wrote down suggestions and three were pulled from the hat. Omar, Lis and Mia. The choice fell on Mia, which I think was smart. As Sigrid said to me “it would have been a little weird if the baby girl had been named Omar”.

Mama Mio and baby Mia. I am having a lot of fun with them. Every time I visit the playground. Too bad the weather is getting colder now. I’m going to miss the warm, sunny days with them. But any days are good, with goats.

So let’s catch up on pictures and videos since last.

Senor Bob el Magnifico.

Here is Bob and Mio and Mia on the rocks. Mia and Mio were having a lot of fun jumping around there. I think Bob got excited when he saw the baby jumping from rock to rock. He’s somewhere in the middle between tired adult and bouncing, carefree baby. But when Mia gets him riled up then he’ll jump around like he’s still a little boy.

And try to put her in her place.

Mio and me. As I said on Facebook, some day I’ll put the hat and glasses on one of the goats and pose next to it and see if anyone notices.

Kamel with the foldy ears. Sigrid told me that we might be getting babies from her too. At least, that she’s ready to breed. That’ll still be months away then. I’m not sure why she wasn’t ready before. But all in good time.

Mia up on one of the platforms.

And look, her horns have already grown a little more! Amazing.

Holding the baybay.

Standing on a stool.

Me holding the baby. Again. I seem to be doing that a lot. Can you blame me?

And she is always keen on getting to my hat.

And now for something completely different. Videos.

First one is Mia and Bob on the rocks. Jumping around and having fun. And Mia approaching the chickens as well and hurling a plant around for a bit.

And one from the platforms. Again a good bit of Mia and Bob playing around. There’s one bit where Mia is up on a platform and Bob is on the ground. And Mia bucks her head against him as if she wants to duel. I think it was because she had the higher ground, otherwise a little kid probably wouldn’t take on a bigger one like that.

And then a fun little compilation of scenes I made, with an intro by US presidential candidate Mitt Romney. He’s very excited about Mia, obviously.

—

And finally from Friday, a rainy day under the canopy. With Mio, Mia and Bob. Plus more chickens.

All done.

See you next time.
