I thought I was feeling all better, but then yesterday morning my stomach started acting up again. So I got up too early to spend time on the toilet. And then back to bed and slept longer than planned. When I finally got up I wasn&#8217;t feeling too great. But I was also missing the goats a lot. I really felt the need to go see them. So I did. I didn&#8217;t have anything to eat and I could feel that my stomach had been quite &#8220;emptied out&#8221;. So I figured I could go without risking any big explosions.<\/p>\n<p>And good thing that I did. Because it was wonderful. I love the little goat girls so much. They are beautiful and perfect and they make me happy. I didn&#8217;t have a second to think about my stomach because I was having too much fun. It was a very good time.<\/p>\n<p>Today I have still had some stomach problems. And I had a little hit of depression in the morning. I&#8217;m not sure why. I was lying in bed. The sun was shining through the window and I could hear kids playing outside. It should have been nice, but for some reason I felt bad. I felt apart from the world. All I wanted was to curl up under the sheets and hide away.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily I managed to get out of bed a couple of hours later. Took a shower and went to the playground. And once again enjoyed the company of the goats. Beautiful in the sunshine.<\/p>\n<p>So here we are. I hope my stomach will be back to normal soon. It&#8217;s gotten better, but still not all good. But there you go. Now, it&#8217;s picture time.<\/p>\n<p><a HREF=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/displayimage.php?pos=-4950\"><img WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=300 SRC=\"..\/pictures\/thumbs\/2008\/080410_magnetheskids1_th.jpg\" ALT=\"kids\" TITLE=\"kids\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Remember the bunny who has learnt to jump over the walls much to Alice&#8217;s chagrin? It is running around freely now. And the above was supposed to be a picture of the little goat kids saying hello to the little bunny. But right as I took the picture, Magnethe came running into the frame and pushed the bunny away. No horrible bunnies are going to harass her babies!<\/p>\n<p>Is it my imagination or have they gotten bigger while I was gone?<\/p>\n<p><a HREF=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/displayimage.php?pos=-4958\"><img WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=300 SRC=\"..\/pictures\/thumbs\/2008\/080411_magnetheskids2_th.jpg\" ALT=\"kids\" TITLE=\"kids\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Certainly the horns are getting bigger. Last time I checked they were just little bumps under the skin. Now they are protruding. Funny to imagine how they&#8217;re just going to keep growing and growing into proud goat horns.<\/p>\n<p>They love being scratched around the horns too. Really getting into it.<\/p>\n<p><a HREF=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/displayimage.php?pos=-4953\"><img WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=300 SRC=\"..\/pictures\/thumbs\/2008\/080410_magnetheskids4_th.jpg\" ALT=\"kids\" TITLE=\"kids\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And little brownie loves the power struggles more than ever. If you put your hand on her head she&#8217;ll push against it.
