Adeline's Quarantine Protest

It will soon be two weeks since the fair, and Adeline, Ali and Trixie have been in quarantine, just in case they picked something up from the other animals.

For a couple of days all of them were just happy to be home, and able to browse on their choice of weeds. 

But then being confined from the rest of the herd began to get on Adeline's nerves, and she staged a protest.

I turned around while filling water tubs for the other goats, and saw Adeline standing on the shed. 

I didn't even know she could jump that high.

I learn something new all the time about that goat.

But that wasn't enough.

Next she decided to stage a sit in. 

Problem was, the roof was too pitched and she began to slide off.  

That just made her more angry (See the video!).

She gave me a few pieces of her caprine mind.

So in between the slipping and sliding,

she began to tear apart the roof of the shed with her head,

and teeth -

...and eat it.

I guess she showed us!

Silly, Dizzy Goats

 The mornings are full of energy and fun.

Here's a VIDEO of the kids burning off a little steam.

We've moved across the alley and are on lush pasture - for April anyway.

More Play, More Practice

Layla's twin does are becoming quite the acrobats.

And they are just so healthy and adorable too.

 These pictures a couple days old, as today we are back to "Mudville". You can see why the kids are looking so healthy.  They are all chowing down like champs.

Finally all the kids come out with their moms in the mad rush for breakfast.  One or two might still sneak back to play in the barn, but at least its only one or two to carry to the gate.  They are all getting quite heavy, so it can make for a lively work out.

The latest in the fence training is the kids are now exposed to horse tape.  They have seen all the types of fence that we have here in our fields, and this week-end, I hope to have this group join their one year old half sisters. That may require rearranging of stalls too, but it needs to be done.  It looks like we may have some new arrivals in a month or so, so we have to get ready.

Indoor Recess(Its Cold Out There)

Here's a VIDEO from yesterday morning.

Three Z Circus

Well eat my shorts! OK! I will!The older girls took over the new "toy" first. Zahra was getting her dismount down. Ziggy finally noticed the fun, and is up for the challenge.

I may be small,... ...but I'm tough!

Zahra, Zuri and Ziggy have completed basic fence training today, and should be joining the adult herd and the other kids this week-end. The twins are three weeks old on Monday, and Ziggy will be two weeks old on Sunday. They are such a playful trio, now that they are all strong and have springs for legs. A few more weeks, and they will jumping on the spools like their older cousins. Today they were all showing their funny personalities and curiosity. They can make a bad day great!
