Never a dull moment

Goats are smart animals. But are they this smart? DH was heading up to the barn for milking when he called me on the walkie talkie. Mabel the goose is sitting on Sissy's back, he said. Sure enough, I looked out the living room window and there it was.

Look at this picture! Does it not seem that Ginger and Erika are having a good laugh? Doesn't it seem like Baby is coaching the goose? Doesn't it appear that Sissy is fighting to keep a straight face? One could almost believe they were trying to set us up, to mess with us.

The two-legged kids like to watch a show on Nickelodeon called 'Back at the Barnyard,' where the animals act like teenage people when the farmer or other humans aren't looking. I don't like it because they give the male 'cows' functional udders, and that's just wrong. But the antics of our herd sure make you give it a second thought . . .

No training here; they came up with this on their own. I brought the camera out to my hubby and he snapped the pictures. S, do you have a new email addy you can send us? Enjoy your bolt! We're glad to be finally done with winter!
