Good goat times today. A lovely quiet day with nice sunshine. No visitors at the fence, first time since the first day or two. I did get to talk to Jeanette a bit. But other than that it was just a mix of relaxing with the goats and running around with the goats. Having all that open space is good for goat running, but I think the hill up to the goat house really does the trick. Having a hill to run up and down seems to really get them jumping and running. it’s lovely. I love how Sky will just run all the way up the hill. It just cracks me up when she keeps going all the way up, even when Milo just stops halfway. She also seems to like just standing on the hill and looking out. That often happens when Mia and Milo are in the goat house, she’ll be out on the hill and looking out.
I had planned to go chek on the newbs today, but given how I felt yesterday I decided not to stress myself out with double goat duty. I think, THINK, my brain fog has cleared. I feel… okay. I think. Just a little concerned. Because it was kind of scary to be honest. It felt like an attack of dementia or something and I guess it freaked me out a little. But I think I’m ok. Anyway, I will try to check up on the newbs asap to see if there are any news, and just to give them some loving. I owe them that much.

Oh yeah, I checked up on the stuff in the goat house that some of you wondered about. The plastic bags only have hay or straw, there is no feed for the goats to get into.
Clearly Mia feels there SHOULD be food for her to get into. But don’t worry, they can’t get at anything bad there.

The Danish version of Lynch bringing back Twin Peaks after 25 years. Lars Von Trier brining back Kingdom. Damn I’m looking forward to this. What’s it been? 28 years? I can still hear the theme in my head. I hope it will be creepy as fork. Although it won’t be the same without Ernst. DANSKJAVLA

Good goat times today. Did double goat duty, old and new place. And got news both places. Unfortunately not the news we were hoping for. tldr in first comment.
Lovely sunny day. Grazed around with MMS. Sweet visitors at the fence. Kids petting the goats. A little girl going “she’s so beautiful she’s so beautiful she’s so beautiful” about Mia. Aw.
Talked a little with Jeanette. Apparently Mia and Milo had been a little rough with Sky yesterday, so much that they were a little concerned. I told her I wouldn’t be too concerned, they seemed perfectly fine and doing well together to me. I think it’s just that they have started butting heads a lot more now that they’re feeling safe there. And Sky is still lowest in the hierarchy, so I think it’s all within normal behaviour. We’ll keep an eye on it.
Eventually I worked up some courage and asked if Malene was around. She was in a meeting, but Jeanette went and checked if they were having a break. And then Malene came out. And I asked if there was any chance they would consider getting SNL to the place. And well you can probably sense where this is going. There is no chance. SHe was sympathetic to the fac that we’re still looking for a home for them, but there were rules and regulations and square footage and unfortunately it can’t happen. I get the feeling they are happy having 3 and have their hands full with that. She was telling me how they had a hard time getting them inside yesterday evening. Apparently Milo barked at them! Hah. But Malene likes Milo, they seem to be getting along well.
So well, that’s disappointing, but I was expecting it. It’s really too bad because the place is so nice and I would have loved to have the whole gang there. I wished I wished, but it wasn’t enough.
I also asked about maybe bringing the bench from the old place, and Malene said that shouldn’t be a problem. She said she’d call Lars at the old place and they’d work out the details. She was also again saying how happy they were to have the goats, and to have me there helping, and if there was anything I thought they needed to do just let them know. And she showed me a photo on her phone of a thing they wanted to build for the goats. Now because of my vision I couldn’t really see too well, but it seemed like maybe a slanted wall or something. Something for the goats to jump up on. I know they want to make more stuff for the goats, they’ve been talking about some kind of ladders at the fence, I’m not sure if it’s for kids to climb up and reach the goats or for kids to walk over and get into the pen with the goats. But I’m not sure what would then stop the goats from walking over it and getting out. But I’m sure they figure all that out. I know the plan is for them to let visiting kids get into the pen and spend time with the goats. Watch out for Milo!
Well we’ll see how that all goes. I had some trouble getting the goats in when it was time for me to leave. I still have to lock them in when I go, the fence situation hasn’t been fixed. Haven’t seen Jesper since that first day, I don’t know if he’s sick or I’ve just missed them. But anyway, as I mentioned the bus to the old place only goes once an hour. I spent so much time wrangling them goats inside that I very nearly missed it. In fact I only got Mia and Milo insde, but the as I was going to go try to get Sky, Jeanette came into the pen and I told her to just let Mia and Milo out once I was out of sight. And then I ran for the bus. And just made it with a minute to spare.
At the old place there was major construction going on in the stables building. Like walls torn down, loud machines, smoke and dust everywhere. SNL weren’t too happy with all that noise and commotion. But they were happy enough to see me, and the treats. I spent a little time with them. I still feel really bad, and guilty, even though I know it’s not my fault. I’m guilty that I can’t spend as much time with them as I used to. I just can’t sit for hours and hours in one place and then go sit for hours and hours at another place, day after day. I feel especially bad for Nuller. He’s not his usual inyourface outgoing self. Not that he sits depressed and lethargic, but there’s not the same energy. He seems to be the one who misses the others the most. Maybe misses me being around more too. He did remember how to shake hoof at least.
After spending some time with them I gathered up more courage and went looking for Lars. Went inside the office building and asked if he was there. A guy there showed me into his office. Asked if there were any news. On the list of possible homes I had given him last time i was there I had put a link to Dyrenes Beskyyelse. Animal Protection Denmark. The big animal protection assocation. And it turns out the goats’ case have been handed over to them. So they are looking to solve the issue now and find a home for SNL. I am not sure how I feel about that. On the one hand I have no doubt Dyremes Beskyttelse will do their very best, they have expertise and contacts and definitely would not want the goats to be put down. On the other hand it feels a little like the playground handing over responsibility to other and just not wanting to deal with it. Discarding the goats and letting someoen else deal with it. I don’t know. It does make it even more unlikely that I will be able to visit them wherever they go, chances of them being located close to me are not good now, and who knows if I will even be involved in the moving and if I will have any involvement at all with them going forward. I guess we will have to see. At the end of the day the most important thing is finding them a good home, and hopefully this is the right step for that. I will just have to believe in that.
Lars also asked if there was any news about the bench, last time we talked I had hasked if it was ok for us to take it. I told him Malene was going to call him about it. He said he’d just call her so they could talk, so whoever calls first it should be soon. I asked if it would be ok to take some of the pavement tiles too and maybe other things from the pen. He said basically ‘you’re in charge’. The only thing I wasn’t allowed to take was the goat house. Not that we could move that thing anyway. But yeah, looks like we’ll get the bench at least and maybe some other stuff. I’d like to take a couple of pallets and some pavement tiles so I can build a platform for the goats, like the one I built in the old pen. Feels kind of wrong to be taking it before SNL are gone though.. but.. they do have a lot of stuff in the pen to jump around on. And I think they spend most of the time in the goat house now. They spent some time under it today because of the loud machines frightening them.
Well anyway. Good times when I was with the goats. I wish the times with the humans had produced better results. But here we are. Just gotta deal.

Here’s Jeanette with Milo and Sky. She was squatting down and petting them and I thought I’d be sneaky and grab a quick photo, but just as I took it she was getting up and saw me. Whoops, caught. Well, she didn’t seem to mind thankfully. Just like Malene she seems to really like the goats, and I like that she stops to give them cuddles.

Good goat times today. I was feeling a bit rough yesterday, I think probably because of all the important humaning I’d been doing, it left me feeling restless and depressed and on edge. So today just a simple goat day with Mia, Milo and Sky. And no important talks.
Still had some nice unimportant talks with Jeanette. She was in the goat pen when I arrived. She remarked on how far away the goats seemed to be able to spot me and start hollering. “For a second I had thought they were bleating for me” she said haha. Yeah. Tey do know how to make me feel special and welcome.
Jeanette had brought a squash for them. From her own garden I guess. Apparently it had gotten too big. I didn’t know squash..es? could get too big. But the goats weren’t interested in it. I tried a few times, but no luck. Maybe they’ll want it later, after the treatbag is gone. But still, i think it shows, again, that Jeanette is very kind and cares about the goats. I really, really like her. She is sweet to the goats and to me and she’s pretty easy to talk to. I’m glad she’s there.
We had some nice visitors at the fence. Mia did her good petting goat thing. She has certainly proved me right abouth er being perfect for a playground. I am glad I convinced them to take her and I’m glad she’s living up to my words.

One from today’s exercise mix.
My throat started hurting last night and building up. But it seems to have cleared up today. I’ve been coughing a bit for a few days too though, who knows. But I felt good enough to get on the bike and give it a go. Felt good. Keep on keeping on.

Currently reading the autobgraphyish book by Tina Dickow, whomst I went to high school with before I dropped out. It was funny seeing her become a superstar in Denmark, and also getting a lot of recognition outside of Denmark.
I still remember fighting through the phobias and anxiety to go see her live shows a few times, standing after the show in the group of people waiting to get autographs and having her recognise and remember my name. That was pretty cool. Her latest record is her first in Danish and it’s gotten great reviews and I absolutely love it too. And the book is quite good too so far, it’s funny reading about places you know from your own past, namedropping places and schools that you went to yourself. And apparently Yoko Ono loved her cover of Working Class Hero.

Looking at old Tina stuff made me think of .. the 90s. Music. MTV. Puls on Tv2. Music programmes, youth programmes. I don’t even know if kids watch tv these days. I guess they watch.. tiktok. I saw that MTV are still holding music video awards, which is funny since they’re not a music channel anymore. Do bands still make videos for songs? Do they just go straight to their youtube channels now? I don’t know man. Everything is so different and I am old and confused. I was thinking the other day how I would hate to be born in this age and group in this world, but then to kids growing up now this is the normal and they’ll look back on how we used to have it and think that must have been hell. Can you imagine phones only being able to make phone calls, computer lessons in schools being one hour once a month and the rest was on PAPER with pencils and erasers, can you even imagine having to work out stuff in your head I can’t even.
And 30 years from now kids will be born straight into the metaverse mainframe simulation and they won’t be able to imagine having to turn on a computer when they have the computers implanted ni their brains at birth and they can watch music videos on the inside of your eyeballs. I was alive when Denmark had one tv channel and I experienced the hulabuloo when we got a SECOND tv channel and then we got cable and suddenly I could watch mtv and I got my first and only real girlfriend because she saw a letter I wrote to the MTV teletext pages called SPit It Out, can you imagine. I bet none of you even know what teletext is now, is there still a teletext button on your tv remotes? I used to check the soccerballsports news on DR teletext bpage 220 or whatever the page was. Now you just go to reddit or whatever sportsnews page you like, now you have all the news beamed into your frontal lobes, sponsored by gambling GET YUOR GAMBLING HERE 20 free spins guaranteed to win, don’t delay act now.
I could go on. For some reason this song popped into my head. Give us a ring-a-ding-ding, it’s a beautiful day.

Happy Caturday everyone. I hope it will be a good one.
I am, however, not well. I took a nap and yeah I can feel the stuff building up in my throat. Hurting. If I don’t clear my throat for an hour or two then I start feeling it.
I don’t really feel bad other than my throat though. I wonder if I’m at the beginning, middle or end of this thing I hope it won’t get worse. I also wonder if it’s connected to my brain fog day, last Sunday. I’ve been couging for a few days at least, maybe it’s all connected. Well, we’ll see I guess.

Happy Funday everyone. I hope it’s a good one.
How am I feeling? Well, my throat still hurts. But not too badly. It’s not like previous throat infections where I had to drink hot tea or something to clear it. Just clearing my throat normally seems to get most of the hurt away. But I can still feel a bit of an itch there. So there’s something going on. But my nose isn’t stuffy, I’m pretty sure I don’t have a fever, my appetite is there. No brain fog it seems, I was a little concerned if that would come back. Since it happened last Sunday after a long sleep, and now it’s Sunday and I had a long sleep… but seems fine. Had a good long sleep with lots of dreams.
The question is whether i should stay home for a while now or if I’m fine to go out. Other than the throat I feel like I’m fine enough for it. I guess I’ll see how I feel tomorrow morning.
Hope you’re all feeling alright out there.

Another day of double goat duty. Visiting with the oldfurs and the newfurs. I feel like a divorce dad going from home to home. Wait, that’sn ot how it works. I guess I’m the kid, going to mom’s house and then dad’s house. Well, that doesn’t quite work either. But you get what i mean.
When the big move was about to go down I felt worst for MMS, being moved and going through all that and having to adjust to a new home. But more and more I feel they’re much better off. Well, of course the simple fact that they have a (hopefully now) permanent home means a lot. But it just also feels like a good home.
SNL has an uncertain future and a pen that feels empty, without their family and without all the greens to take their minds off it like MMS have.
It’s not like they are completely despondent and besides themselves, but I can definitely feel they’re off. Especially Nuller is not as exuberant and inyourface as he used to be. It makes me feel so sad and guilty. Maybe he misses duking it out with his half-bro.
Sigh. Well I managed to give the list of possible leads for new homes to Lars. It took some fighting off fear from me, because he was inside in a meeting when I got there, and I had to go around looking, hen asking someone, then getting inside and sort of interrupting their meeting. Wasn’t easy for me. But I got it done. And gave the list. I don’t know if any of the stuff on it will be useful. I can only hope. I’m glad I managed to get it delivered at least.
I didn’t manage to ask Malene if they might consider taking the other 3. I had a couple of chances but lost my nerve. Then I told myself, I’ll ask when I leave. I still have to put MMS inside when I go so Mia doesn’t jump the fence. So I’ll go and tell them I’ve put the goats inside and they can let them back out again when i’m gone and they’ve calmed down, and then I’ll bring up possibly taking the other goats. But then when I was leaving, Malene was in a meeting. And that one I couldn’t interrupt. Darn. I will try again as soon as possible.
I really wish we could get all the goats back together again at the new place. More and more I’m liking it More and more it’s feeling like a good place with really good people who care. More and more I feel almost.. happy. That MMS are there. Almost… excited to go there. If it wasn’t for the great shadow of the SNL situation weighing on me I would almost be.. content with the change. It would be so good if we could get them all there. As I’ve said, I don’t think it will happen. But I will try. When Malene and the others first came to get their goats, Malene was saying she only wanted 2 because it would be cruel to have 3 goats in that inside house they have. You’ve all seen it, it’s perfectly fine 3 goats in there. I love that she is mindful for it, but as just a place to sleep, it’s plenty. And if they can clear out the other room where the scouts are storing stuff, well they should have enough space for 3 more. And outside there’s plenty of space. I hope Malene can be shown that they do have space for that. But it might not be enough. They may simple not want more than 3 goats, they may not feel they can take properly care of that many or have the finances to support that many (and I know many of you would gladly donate to that, but a government institution just isn’t going to take my word for it that we can keep bringing in donations in perpetuity, it’s not a sanctuary like Esther’s where fundraising is part of the equation. It needs to work on their own budgets). Anyway. I will try. It would mean the world.
Because really, it feels like such a good place. I got there pretty early today but the goats were already out. Jeanette was there working. I met her on the moving day I believe. We talked and she said “I know you met a lot of people and had a lot to deal with that day so I just want to re-introduce myself”. I thought that was so very kind and considerate of her. And helpful, because yes there’s no way i could keep track of everyone I met that day. I told her that because I can’t see faces well I might have problems connecting names and people and so I might forget some names now and then and she was very undderstanding of that.
When the goats saw me they hollered and came running. And Jeanette went “aww they’re so happy to see you!”. And I was happy to see them, doing well after their first weekend in the new place.
Jeanette was walking around working on the grounds while I hung out with the goats. At one point a group of kindergarten kids and some adults came. I talked to them at the fence while they petted the goats and Jeanette came over and joined the conversation, talking to me and the visitors. She was teaching them the goats’ name. Hey, it turns out Sky may be named after Paw Patrol? I’ve heard that name before but I don’t really know what it is. Some kind of kids cartoon? Sky may be named after someone in that, and I never even knew.
Later Malene came by and the goats again reacted to seeing her quite nicely. Milo and Sky jumping up against the fence to get her attention. Apparently Malene has been out with an eye infection, which explains why I haven’t seen her since Wednesday morning. But it was good to see her again. She said that she’d been cuddling with Mia in the rain yesterday. So I guess she spent time in the goat pen during the weekend. That’s very nice. She seems to get really happy when she talks to the goats. Someone asked how everyone was liking the goats, and she said they were a big success with everyone so far.
And it really seems like everyone loves them. And it feels like there’s more activity around them here. More excitement and care. Now part of it may be because they are new arrivals. May be the honeymoon period. But it just feels so much more lively and like the goats are a higher priority. Not that people at the old place didn’t care about the goats. Especially Ophelia and Anne I know did. But they were almost never there early in the morning and not often around the goat pen, at least when I was there. And the rest, almost never around the goats. There’s the morning feeder guy, but he just drops off food and water in the early morning and then disappears. Lars, well apart form the times he came to tell me bad news about discaring the goats… can’t remember really seeing him near the goat pen, apart from when he started working there and came over to introduce myself. At that time he did tell me that they all appreciated what I was doing so much. And now with what’s going on he is saying how sad it is to lose the goats because they attract so many people, and he does want to find homes for them and all. But yeah. Many if not most days I’d show up in the morning and I’d be there all alone with the goats until I left. Visitors coming from outside to see the goats, but staff almost never around. You could almost get the feeling that they don’t care so much about the goats and that’s why they want to get rid of them… now, I don’t think that’s true. I do think they care. But the feeling at the new place is just so much better. It feels like the goats matter and that I matter and matter every day not just once in a blue moon.
If they can keep true to their word about getting a shelter made in the big pen and some stuff for the goats to jump on, and fix the fences so I don’t have to lock up the goats when I leave to avoid Mia pole vaulting to follow me, whell if they keep true to that then… For MMS it seems like it could actually be a change for the better. And when i’m there I can have my happy space and feel good.
It’s just heartbreaking to not have SNL and to not know what will happen to them still. Sigh. Let’s hope with all our might that we can bring them back into our happy place.
Now I need food and maybe a nap. My life used to be sleeping ages and fun relaxing goat time. Now it’s like I have to do double shifts at the plant and if I don’t step up then things will blow up. Too much responsibility, too much people, too much traveling around. But I’m doing my best.

Good goat times today.
I decided that today I was just going to have a simple, uncomplicated good time with Mia, Milo and Sky. No advocating, no big important things. Just goat therapy. I feel like I needed that.
And it was good. Good to just hang out and goat around. Found a shady corner of the big pen and the goats went about de-greening that part. Jeanette was there again, and gave the goats some good cuddles when she brought them fresh water. And later again we talked with visiting kids about the goats. Cast skeptical glances at the feathery fowls and the lawnmower guys. Just a relaxing good time.

One from today’s exercise mix. Managed to get on my bike for the first time in 3 weeks. Good to be back in the swing of it. Just haven’t had the time and capacity for it with everything that’s been going on. I could certainly feel that it took a little extra effort after the break. But I don’t mind that. I really enjoy the physical exertion. Sweat pouring down the body, legs moving to the beat. Pushing yourself a little further. That physical pain is much nicer and uncomplicated compared to mental pain. There is no amount of stretching that will help when your feelings are hurting.
i was a little worried that the break from exercising and all the comfort food would have caused me to put on a bunch of weight, but thankfully that wasn’t the case. Still in the same zone I’ve been for a while. I could use to lose some more, but I’m not interested in putting in the effort required right now. I am happy to be lower than I was a year or two ago. Feeling more comfortable, that’s good.

Aww, the trio sitting together in the entrance of the goat house. It’s the first time I’ve seen them sit down to relax, their first week they stood at attention and stayed on guard. They were also a little wary of the goat. But it’s a good spot to sit, the only place off the ground, as goats like, and a good vantage point up on the hill to spot visitors arriving. Good to see them sit and relax together.

You know they are feeling more safe and comfortable when they start butting heads too. Sitting together, butting heads together, getting back to normal goat behaviour.

Good goat times today. A beautiful, sunny day. And lovely fun with MMS. They were in good form. I got them to do some running in the big pen. Milo and Sky did their jump up and run thing, maybe some twirling even. Mia is a little more gravitationally challenged (as am I) but she still got some running in. And then Sky did laps. She ran into the small pen and up on the hil. Stood there. Then back down to us in the big pen. Then back up on the hill. Then back down to us. A few times. While I stood there and laughed. Lots of fun.
Got a “I can hear you’re coming” from Jeanette, as the goats hollered hello to me in the morning.
And sweet visitors at the fence again. Little hands reaching in to pet the goats.
I didn’t see Malene today, so I didn’t get any further with my inquiries about the newbs. But I’ll try to get it asked soon.
But today was a really good time at the new place. More and more I’m starting to think.. If I had to choose between bringing the newbs to join us at the new place or taking the olds back to the old place… I’m not sure what I’d choose. I think. I think if I had to choose a place to get them all 6 together again I .. I would choose the new place. It’s just… better. It wouldn’t be any easy choice, mostly because of all the memories connected to the old place. But the new place I think is just.. nicer for the goats. Once we get a few things added it will be even more so. And in general the care for the goats seems better, to be honset. I have an example of that to post later.
But yeah, if I could get SNL to join us at the new place it would overall be an upgrade for us all. I wish I wish I wish I wish.

today Jeanette installed a mineral cube in the goat house. The goats didn’t appreciate the drilling, but once I got them back inside and lured them over to the brick.. well a lot of licking went down. Mia was going at it like crazy.
And, it occurs to me. I’m pretty sure there wasn’t any mineral block in the Goat House at the old place. They had one when they lived inside the stables. But when they moved out into the goat house, nothing. So they’ve gone without it for years. Not that I noticed any problems because of it, but still. i’m glad the new place is showing care for the goats. Maybe now the goats will stop licking my arms so much…

Here is some happy goat fun. Running up that hill. It was nice to be able to laugh again. Forget the worries, just for a little.

I feel.. weird. Bad. A little scared. I feel like I had a stroke or something. My brain is.. foggy. I don’t remember what I was doing. What I’m supposed to be doing. Like my routines are all.. gone. I had to check what day it is, try to remember what I usually do. I slept for.. a long time. But. My mind feels all wrong. I feel.. lost. It’s Sunday, I usually.. order food. This is very disconcerting. I can’t remember if I have any plans next week. I need to see the newbs. Ugh. I feel like I have brain damage or something. My memory has been getting worse, can’t help thinking of my dad and uncle and dementia and all that.
I feel like I need to relearn what I’m doing, like my mind is blanking. Urgh. I hope I just,, need to wake up. I slept for a long time. Like I usually do. I don’t really.. remember getting up today..
I feel kinda scared. I hope my head clears up. I guess I should order food, try to find my way back to my routines.
Fork I feel really weird.

Well, my food is here.
Thanks for the encouraging words.
I am not sure if I feel better. Still off, but maybe a little more myself. I’m just weirded out. When I got up today I felt ok I think . I must have. I don’t think anything was off. Then after doing my usual ‘morning’ (afternoon because sleep late) routine I went to take as hower. I like to sometimes take really long showers and sit down in the shower. I almost feel like I fell and hit my head in the shower, but I know I didn’t. Maybe I fell asleep in the shower.. I feel like when I was coming out of the shower the fog was there and I barely knew who I was or what I was going to do. Because of my handicaps and mental issues, I have a lot of routines I follow. I don’t cope well with change. There’s been a lot of change lately, maybe that’s part of it.. hmm.. well, anyway, I felt like I couldn’t remember my routines. Like I was lost in a fog and wasn’t myself. Like I have scripts set up on my pc so when I press a certain key something will happen. I had to sit and think, what do I do.. what do I press.. what are the things I do when I’m on the computer. I have goat footage to edit. I felt like I had to rediscover my self and routines.
Weird feeling.
I also kind of felt like.. I skipped some time waiting for my food. It took 50 minutes to get here. I feel like.. there’s a blank space from around 30 minutes to 50 minutes. But I don’t know if I’m just being paranoid now. You know how you start doubting yourself. Maybe it’s just because I spent all the time worrying maybe that’s why it suddenly felt like more time had passed without me realising it..
I don’t know. I’m just rambling now. Hopefully getting the food in me will help. I did in fact sleep for something like 22ish hours and then got up and didn’t eat right way, maybe my system just needs fuel.
I don’t know man, I’m feeling better but I do feel weird. Hopefully I won’t need any hospital visits.
Thanks all for listening and caring. It’s been a lot lately, i know. Soemtimes it feels like it’s much too much right now. But one day a day..

Happy Funday everyone.
I think I’m okay. Little woozy. But I’ve had something to eat and I’m probably ok. Been a weird day. Thank you everyone for the concern and comments. Let’s see how it goes. I’m going to just take it easy for the rest of the day.

How am I doing? Better. I think I’m okay. Maybe I’m still a little woozy, every now and then I have to stop and think a little extra about how to do something that I’m used to just doing without even thinking. But I think I’m ok. It’s been a weird day..
Had iced cream for dessert. I only wish I had more. I’m going to need to stock up on iced creams. Hope you’re all doing well out there. Thanks for all the concern and advice.

Blue, green, white. Wish summer would be longer, it’s going to start winding down now. Part of me wishes we did the goat move at beginning of summer, then MMS could have had 3 months in super green paradise. But then I would have lost out on 2½ months of time with the whole gang in the old pen. The perfect wish would have been getting all 6 of them moved here in May, but okay you can’t be that lucky. Most important now is a good outcome for SNL too. Hooves crossed.
