Near Wild Heaven
September 1st, 2008I have a little surprise treat for you today. I was at the playground enjoying the company of goats, when Alice came over and asked me if I had seen the website of that place in Odder. The one that bought Lakrids and Chokolade. I had not seen that website, no. But as soon as I got home I loaded it up. And what did I see?`Well, see for yourself. Who is that if not the two cutest little goat darlings? Oh how I miss them. Look at Lakrids’ horn! They’re huuge. Oh my.
It looks like a really awesome place they have got. There’s an English version of their site if you want to read a little about it. The goat part of the English site hasn’t been update though, so you can’t see the kids there. But doesn’t it look great? 20 acres of ecological joy. It looks like a little slice of heaven. I’m sure they’re going to have a wonderful life there. I feel selfish for wanting them to come back “home”!
The picture says “Lakrids and Kanel” by the way. Kanel means cinnamon. Maybe Chokolade isn’t called Chokolade after all. Come to think of it I don’t think I was ever officially told that that was her name. I just heard people using it. And I used it. But maybe she was called Kanel after all. Or maybe they have renamed her. Lakrids og Kanel sounds better in Danish anyway, I think. And a rose by any other name would still smell as sweet.. if it was a goat.
They even have a Mads-almost-lookalike. Bill. What a handsome boy.
Yes, I am happy for the girls. That they have found such a wonderful home. Who knows, maybe I can visit them some day. There are directions on the site. I think that I might be able to figure out the busroutes. It would be a lot to deal with, though. Going there. It’s not something I’d do once a month. But maybe sometime in the future. I always really wanted to see what Lakrids would look like as an adult. So when they’re a bit older maybe I’ll try to go visit them. Maybe the site will put up an updated picture some day as well. I mean, they can’t advertise with having goat kids when the goat kids are grown up, right?
We’ll see. I wonder if that place needs a goat-keeper. They wouldn’t even have to pay me, just let me sleep in the hay and feed me every once in a while. Just like they do the goats.
I might even let the visitors pet me when I’m in a good mood.
