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.

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.

The Scary Season

October 30th, 2022

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

Good goat times today. Grey, but not too cold. And it stayed dry while I was out. It had rained before I got out so it took a little coaxing to get the goats out on the wet grass. The leaves are falling and the greens are fading, but we went around and they looked for edibles. Jeanette had put aside a mini pallet for me, told me I could use it to sit on so I wouldn’t get a wet behind. So I carried that around and sat down and watched the goats go around.
We had some sweet visitors too. Kids at the fence, and in the goat pen too. Always nice. A lady with them asked a bunch of questions about the goats and seemed quite impressed with my bond and story with the goats. It’s always nice to feel appreciated. And Jeanette is always complimentary of me when she talks to visitors too, it’s very nice.
I’m really tired now and my nose seems to be running a bit. Let’s hope I haven’t caught any bugs. Thank you everyone for the good thoughts for my dad btw, haven’t heard anything from the folks, so that should mean he hasn’t gotten worse at least.

“Yes, I know Jeanette got you this to keep your butt dry, but I need to keep my hooves dry and my hooves are more important than your butt” said Mia, probably.

I tried the cucumber again, and this time it was a succes! Opened it sideways and threw it on the ground, and all three feathers came to get some. The brown one is Grethe. And I believe Henrietta is the smallest white. The other white is.. not so good a story. Apparently because there’s no rooster this one has had some hormonal changes occur and is now acting kind of like a rooster, but she’s attacked Jeanette a couple of times and I believe attacked kids too. So she will not be staying with us unfortunately. I think they’re planning on adding more feathers, not sure if there will be a real rooster there. But anyway, it was nice to see them go for the cucumber.

Three goats on a life raft…
The second I get off that mini pallet, there are goats on it. Goats just gotta climb on things. Can’t blame them when the ground is wet I guess, can’t be fun to walk around with wet hooves all the time.

Happy Hump Day everyone. I hope it’s a good one.
I managed to get on the exercise bike today. For the first time in a month and a half. I weighed myself afterwards. I only weigh myself after exercising, smart right? And then I note the result down. I got in the habit of that when I was actively trying to lose weight. Smart enough to have a record of changes. Anyway, I weighed myself today and much to my surprise I found.. I had lost half a kg since the last time I exercised. I was sure I’d put on weight. Not exercising and eating poorly because of everything that’s been going on. But hey that’s good i guess.

Got some bad news today. I called dad to hear how the covid was going. I think he’s over that by now. We didn’t really get to talk about it. Because it happened that I caught him at the hospital. I guess he had an appointment today to do with his memory problems and all that. I didn’t know he had an appintment. I knew he was going in November. But I guess maybe this is a precursor to that appt because he said he wouldn’t get the final results from today until a month from now. That would about line up with his appt in November.
But anyway. They got some images of his brain and stuff and unfortunately the news aren’t good. It’s pretty clear that he’s in the early stages of alzeimer’s. He said the images had looked almost exactly like the ones Uncle Jens had gotten. So that wasn’t nice to hear. I didn’t experience what happend to uncle Jens up close, that side of the family lives on Zealand and with my problems I’m not really in close contact with that side of the family. But I got the updates about what was going on of course and it was heard to hear, how towards the end he couldn’t recognise his own kids and he ended up basically catatonic in a hospital bed. It was rought. And it’s sad and scary to think of my dad going through that too. Hopefully he will still have a good long while of being able to live his life more or less normally. But there’s no doubt where it’s heading. And it’s not like it’s surprising news, it has been pretty clear what’s been going on with his memory.
Yeah, life isn’t fair sometimes. It’s another one of those things. You can kick and punch and scream but you can’t stop it. Some things can’t be fixed. We just have to hope for the best for as long as possible.
I just wish I could stop time. There is nothing about the future that is appealing to me.

Good goat times today. Managed to get out and goat despite just wanting to bury myself under pillows and blankets. But sometimes you just gotta go on autopilot. I know being with the goays always makes me happy. And it did, it’s always worth it. Good to be with them. Nice to see Jeanette as well, and Malene was there. She always shouts out my name with a big happy smile when she sees me. Always nice. And sweet visitors too, kids in the goat pen. Sky got a whole lot of cuddles. And there was a sweet girl who bravely petter all the goats and told us how she really wanted a bunny. “BUNNY BUNNY BUNNY BUNNY” she said to her mother. Hard to argue against that pitch.

Well, my dad just stopped by. We were supposed to have a longer chat, but he lost his wallet so he had to leave again fairly quickly to go see if he can find it again. He might have lost a month’s wages and back card and stuff. Ugh.
But we talked briefly, and the news are worse than lost money. We won’t have all the results of his tests for another month, but he told me that the xrays of his brain showed there were large parts that no longer worked. And he told me that he did not expect to have much more than a year left to live. So that’s .. shocking. I knew things were bad, but he’s still functionaing quite well, other than forgetting stuff a lot. Somehow I did not expect things to be this far along. He said there’s a medication that he can take that might give him a bit more time. But it’s not going to be a lot and there’s no real stopping this. i’m sure the doctors will do all they can.
I don’t really know how to process this. I feel numb. And there’s nothing to do about it.

Thank you everyone, for all the words and thoughts, the support and your stories. I appreciate having the support system here and people who care.
I’m not feeling too talkative about it. There is not a lot to say. We’ll have to see how it progresses. I suppose we’ll find out more next month when all the results come in and maybe we’ll know more.
Still don’t really know how to process it. Sat for a few hours in my comfy chair, listening to Bowie and clutching my bald head in my hands. I fell asleep for a while, and dreamt about dad. He was printing out random pages from the internet and trying to find secret conspiracies in teh words. Sigh. Sometimes there is no deeper meaning.
And this is literally the song that came on just as I started writing this.
Well, one day a day. Keep on trucking, mothertruckers.
Thank you all again, really. Don’t know what I’d do without you and goats.

Happy Caturday everyone. I decided to postpone the other idea I had and continue Caturday with Heino and Nala, as was suggested to me. I didn’t really get as close to them as I did with Mousy, because she slept inside the stables and at the time I would often let the goats out there in the morning and see her. While Heino and Nala I only saw them when they on occasion dropped by the goat pen and then it was just brief passthroughs mostly. But they are cute cats so we can keep the Caturdays going for a while with them, if you’re all okay with that?
Other than that, nothing new. Hanging in there. Just kind of on autopilot for now. Oh yeah and my ad found his wallet. He’d left it at home I guess, not in the supermarket. So that’s a relief, not so much because of the cash but more the bank card and identity stuff, I was worried about someone getting a hold of those. But we got other stuff to worry abou anyway.
Thank you all again for the support.
