The grownups were all in the pen. But these little ones can&#8217;t be contained. Apparently there&#8217;s a little gap in the fence and they&#8217;re able to squeeze out. They&#8217;re more than two weeks old now, brave enough to run around without mother watching.<\/p>\n<p><a HREF=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/displayimage.php?pos=-4930\"><img WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=300 SRC=\"..\/pictures\/thumbs\/2008\/080328_magnetheskids2_th.jpg\" ALT=\"goat kids\" TITLE=\"goat kids\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And climbing everything of course.<\/p>\n<p><a HREF=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/displayimage.php?pos=-4933\"><img WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=300 SRC=\"..\/pictures\/thumbs\/2008\/080328_magnetheskids3_th.jpg\" ALT=\"goat kids\" TITLE=\"goat kids\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Haha I like that picture. Magnethe&#8217;s teeth showing. It almost looks like she&#8217;s growling at me. Protecting her kids from the big, dangerous Plumemonster. The kids seemed pretty happy when I lifted them back in to their momma. I don&#8217;t think they can squeeze back in through the fence on their own. They went straight to the udder and drank. And then settled down and rested.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been so great, the last couple of weeks. The little kids make me so happy. Done wonders for my mood. I&#8217;m sleeping better. Gloomy thoughts are much rarer. It&#8217;s hard to explain exactly how big a difference they&#8217;ve made. Goat kids are the best. The best.<\/p>\n<p><a HREF=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/displayimage.php?pos=-4934\"><img WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=300 SRC=\"..\/pictures\/thumbs\/2008\/080329_magnetheskids1_th.jpg\" ALT=\"goat kids\" TITLE=\"goat kids\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Who wouldn&#8217;t love those sweet faces?<\/p>\n<p><a HREF=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/displayimage.php?pos=-4932\"><img WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=300 SRC=\"..\/pictures\/thumbs\/2008\/080329_magnetheskids3_th.jpg\" ALT=\"goat kids\" TITLE=\"goat kids\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The black one started chewing on my fingers today. Really chewing, not just the little nibbles. They don&#8217;t chew very hard though. You can see that when they start chewing on the other one&#8217;s ears. Who can resist a big, floppy goat ear to chew on?! Hah. The one who gets her ear chewn doesn&#8217;t even react to it, so they obviously don&#8217;t bite very hard.<\/p>\n<p><a HREF=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/displayimage.php?pos=-4935\"><img WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=300 SRC=\"..\/pictures\/thumbs\/2008\/080329_magnetheskids2_th.jpg\" ALT=\"goat kids\" TITLE=\"goat kids\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I was sitting with the kids today when Jannie was feeding.

I&#8217;m sure it must be a relief to get a little quiet from the two little hurricanes.<\/p>\n<p>How much do you think two goat kids cost? I&#8217;m sure I must be able to afford them. They&#8217;d fit snuggly in my bag. I could carry them around with me. Or rather, I could run after them and try to catch them. That&#8217;s more likely I think.<\/p>\n<p>All for now. Tonight is daylights savings time in Denmark. The bad kind. I&#8217;m going to lose an hour.
