Moving Goats

September 18th, 2012

Catching up on some videos today. Ere we go.

First off a lovely video of Mio’s baby standing on my back. Jumping on my back. Climbing on my back. Sliding down from my back. And jumping on my back again. I finally got her to stand up there. It’s always one of my favourite things to do with goat kids.

The baby eating raisins and shrubbery. And hats. And Mio jumping over the fence while she’s still leashed.

A shorter one. Mio spotted something, probably a dangerous landcat, and started snorting and sneezing the warning signals. And then her baby sneezed too. I’m not sure if she was trying to emulate her mother’s warning signals. Or if it was just… a sneeze.

Bob is almost as big as Kamel now, and they are still trying to sort out who is highest on the hierarchy. Plus more fun with the baby as she tries to jump up on my knee to get at my hat. And at the end you can see the goats enjoying some apples that a guy threw into the fold for them.

That’s all. Catch the next showing at 15 pm eastern central time.

Okay, I have a bunch of pictures. From three trips to the playground. So that’s going to take up all of the spaces today. Enjoy. Life.


Mio jumped over the fence but her leash was still tied down inside the fold. I lifted the baby over the fence and let them stay outside the fold a little, because Mio seemed to prefer the grass on ther side. Maybe it was greener or something.

Getting comfy on the asphalt.


An island in a sea of green.


Closeup.


When I post pictures of myself with the baby I always feel like it’s one of those pictures of a giant mountain gorilla holding a kitten.


A view from behind Bob’s head. He’s a big boy now with big horns.


Mio and the baby in the sunshine. With Bob and Kamel in the background. Bob is almost as big as Kamel now.


Giving a leg-up to the baby.


Tiny little buds starting to grow on her head.


I love when she’s running around, but I also love to just sit with her in my lap and relax.


This is Bob in front of the house.


Kamel sitting down.


And a closeup of Kamel.


Keees me!


In the foreground.


Tip of the hat.


The baby standing on my back. It’s hard taking pictures in that situation! There is some good video of it coming soon.


And finally daddy Preben. He has been tied down recently so he’s not quite such a commanding presence. But he’s still a fine, young lad.

Good times. I think the baby will get a name soon. A couple of girls came over to hug the little one. And they were talking about writing down name suggestions. I don’t know if they’re doing a lottery and drawing a name out of a hat or if it will be a vote. But anyway, one of the girls said that she had suggested Josephine. And the other girl said that she had suggested Hey. “Because then you don’t have to say hey and her name because Hey would already be her name!”. Flawless logic.

A goat by any other name would still be as sweet to play with.
