Old Friends In New Places

Happy Mio Monday everyone. I hope it’s a good one.

Good goat times today. There was a big a-do at the goat place today. When I arrived and walked up the drivway leading to the playground, I was overtaken by a vehicle with a trailer carrying a big digging machine. ‘What’s that about’ I thought as it turned and drove towards the goat pen. Well, it was about digging. Turns out the playground are getting new swings. “To attract more ‘customers'” as Jeanette said. Not just adding goats, but swings too. And I guess they had to dig up some foundation. So there was a couple of machines and some men working on that. I had to wait a little to let the goats out, because we had to block off the entrance to the bigger pen so the goats couldn’t go in there. Because Jeanette had had the excellent idea of taking all the earth that was dug up and ferry it into the goat pen to make a new goat mountain. Just another example of Jeanette thinking of the goats. And so the goats stood and watched as the machines worked and as a little mountain was slowly erected in their big pen. Neato! It wasn’t done by the time I left so I didn’t get to take them into the big pen and see how they’d react to the mountain. But hopefully they will like it and we’ll have some climbing and running on it. I think it’s a little taller than the platforms, but as I said I haven’t seen the final form. I’ll show you a picture soon.
We also had visitors in the goat pen. Cute kids and we even had a new butt inspector! He wasn’t quite as obvious and outrageous about it as the girl from last week, but it still is fun to me how the kids have no filter and no shame about just bending down and looking straight up at the goat butt. Haha.
So lots going on today.

Here is the new goat mountain, or at least the first stage of it. Jeanette wasn’t sure if they would add more … can you say earth in English? I’m not sure now. In Danish the word for earth is both the planet and the stuff making the mountain. Is it just called dirt or.. well anyway, it might get bigger. I kinda want it wider and less tall, less steep. Jeanette said if we can’t get them to do that we can just do it ourselves. So it will be a little easier to climb. And she wants to buy grass …seed? Seedlings. Plant grass on it. So hopefully it will get even better, but whatever happens it’s nice to have stuff in the goat pen for the goats to interact with. I can just imagine Sky racing from goat hill to goat mountain, back and forth, up and down.

Mia kept close watch, not only on the machines but also on the strange thing growing out of the ground. They are very observant of change and new things.

Here’s today’s butt inspector. He was slightly more subtle about it than the girl last week. But still, Milo got inspected.

The goats are very popular among the non-butt inspecting crowd too.

One more of today’s visitors in the goat pen. Little Sky getting some love. These guys also thought she was a baby. No, she’s just petite. It is often remarked on how the goats are different sizes. We got a big, a medium and a small. Like the three billy goats gruff, even though we only got one dude in the flock. And they aren’t very gruff.

“Can we go play on it?”
Not yet, Mia.

i just had a weird experience. I guess I was taking a nap in my comfy chair. I woke up all confused. I wasn’t sure ..well, who or where I was or what I had been doing. I felt like I had to retrace my steps to get back into my head. I had to remind my self where the goats were, at first I was thinking if I was going to visit them at the goat house, but then I remembered they don’t live there anymore. Like i had to relearn everything. I ordered takeout earlier today, I had to think if I’d eaten, if i had gone shopping. A lot of my life is centered around routines and habits, and I felt like i had to deduce where I was in my routine. Weird and kind of scary feeling. And now that I think about it, it’s a little like that one time I had the ‘brain fog’ incident. That time I was coming home from shopping. That was what, a month or two ago?
It felt a little like dementia, only with dementia I guess you can’t find your way back to your reality.. if that makes sense.
I don’t know. I feel ok now. It’s just extremely unsettling to feel like you’re lost in your own head.

In other news, I have started watching Fawlty Towers again. I can’t count how many times I’ve watched it but I never get tired of it. I pratically know if all by heart but it still makes me laugh. I just watched the hotel inspector episode and it never fails when I watch the final scene, where Basil realises that the three men are hotel inspectors and he screams, I always scream along with him in my head. It’s just a perfectly crafted series. Even though there are things that haven’t aged well in it, it’s still just a joy to watch. I said the other day on twitter that I wanted to find a way to travel to other dimensions so I could go hunting for that one reality where John Cleese sold out and made a bunch more episodes. I wish there was more!

I hope today will be a good day. Here is Bruce and Clark from 2014.

Guess what Jeanette and I did today?
I’ll give you a hint.
We went to see Sassy, Lily and Nuller!
more to follow…

10/11 2022

.
Yes, we went to see the newbs today. Snl in the house. Or rather, in the countryside.
First and foremost, they seemed to be doing well. Nuller was bleating and bleating. So loud! The last while at the old place when I went to see them he was doing little sad mewls. It was nice to hear him bleating out loud. It was a little bit rainy, so they weren’t too keen on coming out at first, but i got them out and it was nice to just spend time with them again. You betcha I spoiled them with plenty of treats.
Let me recount the day. We started out at the new place, had some sweet visitors in the pen with mms. Once that was done we took off in Jeanette’s car. I think the drive was something like 30ish minutes. I did my best to be a ‘real human’ and had some nice conversation. On the trip there we had some quite personal talk about our families, she told me some stuff about hers and I told her some about mine. And all the things going on. I managed to actually ask some questions and I think I did ok. It was rather nice. She is easy to talk to. On the way home we talked quite a bit about music which was cool. I’m just really thankful that she helped find this home for snl and that she was willing to take me.
She guided me to the goat pen and we spent a bit of time there, and then she went off to eat her packed lunch while I just hung out with the goats. Nuller nibbling at my hat, Sassy sharklike lockjawedbiting the treatbag, Lily looking up and licking at my face. They seemed healthy and happy. And that’s the most important thing. They don’t have as much stuff there as they did in the goat pen at the playground, but there was a decent amount of space, there was a christmas tree for them and a pallet thing. Their indoors place was pretty small, nowhere near as fancy as the old goat house. It almost looked like a tent, although the walls were solid. I think this is a temporary pen, as I think I mentioned the mother wants to make them a pen right outside her kitchen window so her kids can be out with the goats and she can watch from the kitchen. So their current digs probably aren’t permanent. Oh the family that has them now wasn’t actually there with us, Jeanette and I was there by ourselves. Kids were at school I guess, they have four kids all various school ages. I’m not sure where the parents where, if they were away or just let us have our privacy. But it’s out in the countryside, open fields around. And horses and other animals around.
But yeah that’s pretty much it. The slight rain put a bit of a damper on it, but it was nice to just sit down with the gang again. I so wish we could have all six together. They really are three wonderful goats. But I know the family appreciates them and love them and are happy to have goats that are so good with humans. And the most important thing is that we saved them from a bad ending, we got a good home for them and they can have good lives there. I think Jeanette will take me to see them again some time, but it’s not going to be a regular thing. I can’t get there by myself and Jeanette can’t just take off work like today all the time. I am thankful that Malene let us do it today. It made it a lot easier for me, and for Jeanette too.
I’m just so relieved that they are okay. I think things turned out well for them. All things considered. Hope this is their happily ever after.

Here is video from today’s trip. The beginning was filmed by Jeanette, she suggested she could film the reunion for us. Probably would have made a bit better moment if it hadn’t been raining, but it was just great to spend some time with these three lovelies again.

Alors. On danse?
Yesterday I fell into a Stromae rabbit hole on youtube. I only knew this song. It’s a phenomenal masterpiece. But then on youtube when you watch a video on the right side there are the related videos section. And I figured, I’d just click on some of those and they will probably all suck because he’s probably a one-hit wonder. But everything I clicked on was just.. good. I only have a very basic grasp of French, but I love the electronic beats and the rythm of his style and a lot of the videos were really visually interesting too. So yeah, I recommend you go to youtube and look at Stromae videos.
Je suis tu es il est nous sommes vous etes ils sont. Did I ever brag about how I got the highest possible grade on my French oral exam? Because I did, you know. GOut-on voir si le vin est bon. J’ai tu as il a nous avons vous avez ils.. ass? I don’t know. Je suis un pommes de terre, ma frere. Voulez-vous dansez avec moi c’est soit.

In other news… turns out the new goat mountain did in fact grow after I left. In fact it has ended up considerably bigger than I expected. We still need to scult it a bit, make a better flat top on hopefully and the sides a little easier to climb. And I really hope we can sow grass on it. Right now with the rains it’s just kind of a big wet dirt pile, the goats don’t want to go on that. But hopefully in time it will be a nice thing for them to run around on too.

Happy Mio Monday everyone. I hope it’s a good one. My plan for the foreseeable future is to just keep on keeping on. we’ll have more answers in a month’s time, maybe, but for now there’s nothing to do about it and I’m just going to try to keep some normalcy. You know me, totally normal 24/7, thanks for helping me be normal.

Good goat times today. So good to be at the goat place again. Always happy when I’m with the goats. A beautiful sunny day. It had rained overnight though, so the grass was wet and drops fell when trees were disturbed. So we spent some time inside in the morning. but we did go out later on too. Did some running and funning. And good to talk to Jeanette too. She had some good news. She managed to talk to Merethe, the lady who took snl. They are doing well and it seems like things are working out good for them. They have had other goats that weren’t as sociable, apparently thee was some bullying going on in their herd and stuff. But snl are the perfect petting goats and easy to be around. Jeanette said “I told her, well that’s all because of Lasse”. Aw. I don’t know if it’s all me, but having a silly human sitting around with you always does make goats easier to be around I’m sure. It’s just nice to hear. Merethe said she wants to build a pen right outside her kitchen so she can be working inside the kitchen and her kids can be outside with the goats there and she can watch them while she works. Sounds like their kids are enjoying having happy goats. Exactly what I was hoping for, they are with humans that want to spend time with them.
Sounds like the timing was excellent too. The family had been looking for goats and there was a place that that had dwarf goats they could have. But they had been off on vacation in Croatia and Merethe hadn’t been able to get the messages. And by the time they got home, those goats had gone elsewhere. And that’s when Jeanette asked if they were interested in getting three little happy goats… So that worked out really well for us. And for snl and the family, it sounds like.
And Jeanette said that Merethe had told her that I could definitely come visit them and it was okay if I took pictures and videos and put it on Facebook too. So that’s great. I wasn’t sure if that would be ok, so I’d been expecting to have to ask permission. But that’s all good. And Jeanette said she would talk to Malene and see if it would be okay if we go out and visit the place during her work hours at the playground. That would be wonderful. I haev been a little anxious about that, I really don’t like going out other places than the playground and parents place and the supermarket. And I really don’t like being out later in the day. I’m just weird ok, I don’t like being around people and being out of my apartment. So if Jeanette could take me during her work hours at the playground, well that would be fanastic. That would make it a lot easier for me. We’ll have to see. But yes, more examples of how sweet Jeanette is and how she really cares about the goats and me and my needs. I have some more examples from today of her doing good for the goats, but i’ll post that later with photos. It’s nice to have some positive feelings at least. When you think about all the stuff I was worried about with the goats and the changes, things seem to have worked out as perfectly as they could, oher than you know not being able to have them all six together. But that was never going to happen. Seems like snl escaped a tragic fate and have a good home. And me and mms got a lovely new home closer to me and one that just seems better. Seriously, at the old place I went there and was alone iwth the gaots all the time, other than when outside visitors came by. But i barely ever saw staff around the goat pen. I know it’s partially because I was there in the morning. It’s not like the goats weren’t cared for at all. But it just feels so much better at the new place. Especially when Jeanette or Malene is there. They are lovely and I can feel they care about the goats and are happy i’m there. Feels good. Rambling over.

Milo and Sky getting some hay. When I got there today their hayholder was full of some icky, wet hay. I don’t know who put it there, but it was not fit for goat consumption. I was going to ask jeanette about it but I didn’t even get to it, when she came in she noticed it and got rid of the bad hay and put fresh hay in for them. Another example of her carring well for the goats.
By the way, I mentioned to her that at the old place we had fb friends from other countries visiting us a couple of times. I think she was quite impressed with that. She knows the goats have quite a following on facebook, that’s why she asked Merethe if it was okay that i would film and take pics when we got visit snl at some point, so the facebox people could get to see them too. She doesn’t have a facebook account herself, but she said she’d been considering it just to follow the goats.

31/10 2022

Look, we got a rock! Okay, it’s a small one. But Milo seems to like it.
This is another Jeanette praisal post. She brought that rocka ll the way from her home. Apparently it was in her yard for ‘a hundred years’ but she thought the goats would like it. I’ve had a bit of a problem with my shoulder, so I couldn’t help her move it. She had to push it off the trailer that she had used to bring it to the playground. And then roll it into the goat pen. And roll it up the goat hill. And then she got a shovel and digged a little hole so it could get a stable resting position.
The grass was still wet so the goats just stayed inside and watched, a little concerned about why the human was roling heavy things around and then hitting the ground with a stick with metal at the end. But once Jeanette was done I went over to the rock and lured them out. And Milo immediately took position like this and stayed there. It’s good to have a rock to stand on, even if it’s just big enough for the front legsies. It’s a good position to stand with the hooves on it and watching out over the playground beyond the fence.
I really wish we could get the rocks from the old playground, but they are way too heavy for us to move, we’d have to hire a company or something and that’s not going to happen. But now we have a mini rock. And once the ramps on the platforms get fixed we’ll have something for the goats to jump up on for real. And they do have the bench and tub to jump up on too. But thank you Jeanette, you rock!

Godo goat times today. Starting to get colder. Jeanette remarked that today was the first day she started feeling the cold. I’m pretty much always cold, but when others start to feel it then you now the season is a changing.
But the goats were good. We had a fun Running Up That Goat Hill session that left Sky panting for breath. She’s the fastest and the most eager to get running. Such a little speed demon. Mia on the other hand is not fast and sometimes just doesn’t want to run. She’s smart enough to know the games I’m playing and that she’ll get treats even if she doesn’t play along. At one point she was standing for a while with her front hoofsies on the New Rock watching the littles run back and forth. Like a big uardian goat statue.
We had sweet kids visiting too. A daycare/kindegarten group that we’ve seen before. There was one new guy with them, a younger man. He seemed to take a shine to Milo. Even though Milo swung his head at him a few times. But they ended up playing ‘put thet stick between the horns and watch the goat go nuts’ for a while. And Jeanette said “looks like you got competition, Lasse!”. Oh I think Milo still likes me! He’s a character, though. Fun and easy to love. There was a guy at the old playground who bonded with hiim a lot. And the other day Jeanette told me that Milo was a big cuddlebug and when she opened in the morning he’s always first in line to get cuddles and attention. Easy to love a bandit. Its’ the scoundrel thing. Han Solo etc.
There was a human scoundrel too. A little girl went behind Mia and then squatted down real low and looked up at Mia’s rear. She stayed in that position for a bit and then got up and told her friend “Yes she has a butt too!”. Haha. Little butt inspector in the making.
Fun for all.
