Okay, I am almost<\/i> done with the field trip pictures. Can you stand the suspense?<\/p>\n
Guess what I saw today? I saw Vanilje yawning. That is the first time I have ever seen that. I don’t think I have ever seen Magnethe yawn. Mads maybe 7-8 times. And somehow always when I don’t have my camera ready. I think I shall make it my life’s mission and ambition to get a picture or video of a goat yawning. It is one of the funniest things you’ll ever see.<\/p>\n
She seemed very tired today, Vanilje. She really wasn’t her usual self. She wasn’t bouncy or energetic at all. She didn’t run around. She just sort of walked around slowly, not seeming very interested in anything. And more alarmingly she didn’t even seem hungry. Shermin came over with a carrot, but she just sniffed at it and looked away. And she didn’t want the raisins or corn flakes I had either. There is something disturbing about a goat who doesn’t want to eat. Later on she did start to eat some grass though and she did take a couple of raisins before I left too. Even did a little running. I hope it was just tiredness and nothing more. In fact all three goats seemed kind of tired and quiet. I was sitting up against the board with holes at the slope. And Mads stood right up against me and sort of rested his head between my back and the board. I turned around a bit and could see that his eyes were closed almost completely. Looked like he was falling asleep.<\/p>\n
So it was oddly quiet. Maybe they had played too much before I got there. Spent all their energy. Or maybe it was the sunshine making them doze off. Magnethe had some stomach problems too. Kurt told me that she had had the runs. He even pointed out a sort of puddle of poo on the ground. Normally they poop little pellet kind of things. This was more like a flat pancake. Kurt thought that maybe she had eaten too much chicken food. You have seen how they bury their heads in the food containers. Over each container there is a sign stating what kind of food is in there. Of course the goats happily ignore those signs and just dig in wherever they can get. So maybe Magnethe finally managed to have too much. People keep asking if she’s pregnant. But then they have always asked that about Mads too. Funnily enough no one ever asks about Vanilje, but she’s the one who is expecting.<\/p>\n
Anyway. It wasn’t too bad, spending some sweet quiet time with the goats. I was actually able to sit and look Vanilje in the eyes for a long time. Normally she’d be running all over the place. Now she was just standing there. I felt like taking care of them all, my sweet tired, sick goats. I hope they’ll be back to normal tomorrow.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile I am still very tired myself. But now it’s easter holiday and I shall rest well.<\/p>\n
