<\/a><\/p>\nI don’t think it has a name yet.<\/p>\n
I wonder if it’s possible for a lamb to not be cute. Somehow I doubt it. All the little lambs I have ever seen have been wonderfully adorable.<\/p>\n That’s the mother. And there’s another new sheep at the playground, she was scheduled to give birth today.<\/p>\n So next time I go there might be more lambs. But I am not greedy, even one is great.<\/p>\n The downside is that the Prince and the twins have left. And so the seasons pass, we say hello and goodbye. For everyone that leaves us, new ones will take their place. Flowers will grow from the corpses.<\/p>\n A little sweetie. I look forward to getting to know him\/her better.<\/p>\n Yesterday I talked to Bodil. That is the name of the old lady I sometimes see at the playground. She is nice, and good to talk to. She remembers my name, because she once had a dog called Lasse too. Now she has a dog called Lulu.<\/p>\n That is Lulu. It’s a bad picture, but you get the idea. A cute, tiny thing. I can tell that Bodil is very proud of her. She likes to talk about the race, which I have forgotten the name of. But how they are dogs of emperors and such.<\/p>\n I have been feeling sick. My body sore, and then my stomach started acting up. And tired, very tired. I did go to the playground today. There was an incident though. Mads almost knocked me out. He head-butted me right in the face. Luckily my glasses survived. It hurt like hell though. I am not a goat, I don’t have solid horns to take the blow. Ouch. It also wounded my pride a little. It was probably just the shock from the blow. But I started feeling sad. Self pity. “Oh even the goats don’t like me”. I know that’s silly, it’s not like Mads did it on purpose, and certainly not with any sort of malicious motive. My self esteem is just a little fragile. All it takes to blow it is a knock on the head, it seems. I actually cried a little. Sitting on the bench. Mads was being quite affectionate afterwards. I’d like to think that it was his way of saying sorry and trying to cheer me up. A typical trait of humans, to project human emotions on to (or should that be in to, or something else?) animals.<\/p>\n I didn’t stay sad for too long, it’s hard to stay sad when you have three wonderful goats around you.<\/p>\n Just looking at that face always makes me smile. My Magnethe. She has a little wound on her back. I went and told Per about it. It’s probably nothing. But it did look a little odd, not like cut or a bite or so. And a little bald spot around it. Very small though, and the surrounding fur would cover it. So you’d only notice it if you sat like some crazy person and scratched and nuzzled her for hours. I found it like that, by accident, and she freaked out. She did not like to be touched there. I had a hard time holding her still when I wanted to examine her to see what it was I had found. Poor girl. But I’m sure it’s nothing yes, I just wanted the playground people to know about it.<\/p>\n In other news: I have discovered Antony and the Johnsons<\/a>. And fallen instantly in love. Hope There’s Someone is just about the most beautiful song I have heard in a long, long while.<\/p>\n Hope there’s someone who’ll take care of me Hope there’s someone who’ll set my heart free It makes me cry, like a goat’s butt on the head.<\/p>\n Speaking of music, the pumpkins revival<\/a> continues. Maybe I will get to see them live some day after all. I can but hope.<\/p>\n![\"cute](\"..\/pictures\/thumbs\/2006\/060202_newlamb2_th.jpg\" "\\"cute")
