Yes, I'm afraid it's all about goats again!

So yesterday I let Penny, Genny and their kids out for a bit. I left Bambi and her twins inside, because they are still quite small and I didn't want the triplets jumping on them. I locked Kevin and Geoff up in their night pen because I didn't yet know how they'd behave around the little ones.


It was quite warm yesterday and everyone was enjoying the day!


Hawkeye and Debbie


But when I was looking, the boys busted out...



Geoff


And....


"Are you my daddy?"

...they were both really, really good with the kids! Nicer than the does are, in fact. I thought they were even being protective of them.


Genny, however got into a shoving match with Luc and wouldn't back down.


Nothing too vicious! Luc finally gave in and accepted that Genny is the boss. :)



Penny, Kevin and Geoff


Luc enjoying pine and spruce needles



Emerson LOVES lounging in the hay feeder!


He sits there and whacks the goats on their heads.


Hawkeye and Debbie taking a breather


Emerson scratching Penny's chin

  
Patting Annabelle's head (or Rosie's... I can't tell in this shot!)

See him in action here:




Geoff amused himself by pushing that thing across the grass


The triplets were just going nuts everywhere.


Little Rosie, not so little now! She weighs ut 40 lbs.


Luc in his "chastity belt"!


He's a real cutie.

And then this happened...


Who am I to judge?

Kevin was just enjoying the view when all of a sudden, Jersey snuck up behind him. At first he didn't seem to notice, but then he decided he'd had enough...


...whereupon Jersey began stalking BOTH boys!



Until Kevin let Jersey know he'd had QUITE enough of her attentions.

Just another day in paradise! Hahahahaha...

  7. How intelligent do you reckon goats are, compared to dogs, for example? Just wondering. Cats, of course, are smarter than all of us, but just smart enough to disguise it quite well. As for that pot-bellied pig, confused in at least two significant ways, or just desperate!

    1. Also wonder what would happen and who would win if you got on all fours and started that head-butting competition with them. Expect you may get knocked out. I think we need to know. Gordon can take the pictures (and call the doctor).

  8. With this many critters there's bound to be lots of action.Goats are very curious and always investigating something.

  14. It DOES look like paradise. But then I'm not the one (of the many) doing all the work. You've got to admire Jersey.
