Phew, I’m tired. Must see if I can post an entry quickly. I have had too many pictures to process. Why? I’ll tell you why…

Vanilje is why! Finally she is back. It must be almost four months since Kurt took her away. Oh it was so good to see her again.

It’s like she never left. When I got to the playground Per was sitting on a bench. And Vanilje was rummaging under the table. I went to her and stroked her head a little and asked if she remembered me. And Per said “of course she does”. Sweet. Somehow I imagined that she would have grown big and huge, but seeing her again she was just as little and cute and cuddly.

Someone forgot to tell her that Mads was in charge! They squared off together a couple of times. But after Mads had shown her who’s the boss they actually got along quite well.

And now a few pictures of Vanilje re-exploring her new old surroundings. Bear with me, I’m just so happy to have her back.

She still reminds me of her mother. Mathilde, who I miss a lot.

A happy day for me. And I made a new friend.

Oop, who’s that? A sweet, young buck.

He was inside with Magnethe. I hope they’ll get to spend some quality time together. He seemed a little nervous at first. He was jumping up with his front legs on the walls, under the windows. Almost as if he was trying to escape. And he butted heads with Magnethe a few times. I’m sure they’ll get along though. And then I gave him a few raisins and then we were friends indeed.

He had a little of that buck-smell. But not too much. Not yet.

What a puppy-dog look on his face!

And he’s certainly got the “floppy goat ear” look down.

Yes, I think he’ll fit in just fine while he’s here. He’s already learning the tricks of the trade.

And as long as he and Mads are kept seperate then there shouldn’t be any trouble.

Although I’m sure Mads will be able to sniff up plenty of trouble on his own!

There were kids at the playground today as well. So not only did I have new and old goat friends but I also got to talk to the kids about the goats and show them how nice they are. There was a girl who recognised me. She’d been there and played with Vanilje when she (Vanilje that is) was just a kid. So that was nice.

Yup. A good day today. And tomorrow is my birthday. It’s not going to be anything special though. My mother is working late tomorrow and Friday so we’ll do a little birthday dinner on Saturday. Tomorrow I’ll get up early and watch Lost. Then I’ll go to TMU. And then the playground, where I hope the goats are planning a surprise party for me. And then in the evening there’s the Royal League final where I hope Brøndby will give me the present of winning the tournament. And that’s about it. Another day, another dollar. But I’m not complaining. I’m feeling good, that’s all I can ask for.

And now sleepytime for Plumeheads.

No Vanilje today at the playground. I was all excited too. Oh well. She will definitely be there tomorrow though. Kurt will bring her in. And that’s not all. He will bring the buck too. For Magnethe. I am really happy about that. That means Magnethe won’t be going away. Kurt noticed today that she was in heat. So tomorrow there will be twice as many goats! Amazing.

Magnethe and the buck will stay in Yvonne’s stable. Then Mads and Vanilje will stay together. Mads and the buck have to be kept seperated of course.

Tomorrow is my day off. I plan to go up there bright and early and have fun with all the new and old goats. Exciting.

So Magnethe is in heat. I wonder if that’s why she has been trying to pick fights with everyone. Heh, love is a complicated thing.

Meanwhile, spring is still springing.

The flowers are blooming and the goats are in heat. And Mads, well Mads is tired in the sunshine.

I love tired Mads.

Funny, yesterday we had to struggle to get him down on his side. Today he rolls over all by himself. And he did it while I was sitting next to him, so it’s nice that he wasn’t afraid of doing it with me around.

I love when he lies down like that. It looks very funny.

A little later we were sitting there. Mads still sleepy. He even yawned. I think a goat yawn is possibly the funniest thing in the world. I wish they did it more often. So I would have a chance of catching it with my camera.

Tired, tired Mads.

Magnethe wasn’t tired. She’s cute though. I almost don’t like the idea of some buck getting frisky with her. Keep yer hands off my little girl. But then of course the thought of new baby kids is a good one.

That’s all for today. Expect pictures of Vanilje tomorrow. Isn’t it exciting? I wonder how big she’s gotten. And I wonder if she will even remember me. It’s not like she’s been completely isolated out at Kurt’s place, but still. She’ll probably have to get used to the playground again. Good thing she has a crazy goat boy who will sit for hours and hang out with her.

That’s me, that is.
