Goats will eat anything

by June




I always tell Blossom she's good enough to eat.
Clover thinks so too.

Oh the joys of getting a ponytail or pigtail to close to a goat! I've had more than a few pulled out by a wily goat.

Adorable photos!

June said...

I don't know why it still surprises us, Rachel. Blossom and Fern walk around with a lot of goat spit in their ponytails! I keep my hair so short that the goats only try to eat the pockets off my jeans.

That has GOT TO BE the best series of photos! Love it..and Blossom is adorable!

June said...

Thanks, Colleen! Goat kisses quickly morph into goat nibbles. I'm sure you could turn it into high comedy!

Oh ouch! I've experienced goats tugging my hair. Mine's straw colored, so who can really blame them for trying, but darn it...it hurt! Now I tie my hair up in a bun near ever-curious goats. Despite that, I'm still smitten with your goats. Totally adorable.

June said...

Oh, believe me, Clare, we are still smitten with our goats too. The ouch moments come but go. There are many more awwwww moments. I can imagine hair the color of straw would delight our goatie girls!

Oh... that was good! Thanks for the chuckle! Just precious!!! And for sharing Blossom and Clover with us!

Conny said...

I love the expression on Blossom's face in the last frame: Hey! That really hurt! Glad the goaties and girls are doing well. ~ Conny

June said...

Toni, I'm glad it made you chuckle. We laughed too.

Conny, I know! That expression is priceless. Fortunately, she wasn't hurt as much as surprised. You'd think she would be used to the goat munching her hair.

I can't believe I just found your blog. It is fabulous. Those are some super cute goats! I will definitely be bookmarking it.

June said...

Amy! I'm so glad you're here!

Catherine said...

Oh, I love this serie! We made your raspberry-chocolate torte tonight! It was DELICIOUS!

June said...

Catherine, thank you! And I'm so happy you made the torte. I have this fear that frost will take the last of the raspberries before I get one more this season. I'm thrilled you love it as much as I do.

TINY GOATS!!! Oh so very cute! Love the pictures!!

June said...

Leigh, yes, they are tiny. But you know the saying about dynamite... Thank you!

Awwww, what a cute series of photos. How nice that you captured that on camera! Both your daughter and the goat is just adorable.

Lisa@The Cutting Edge of Ordinary said...

I think you could replace the "goats" with "teenagers" in my house, lol.

June said...

Meems, it was a lucky accident that I had the camera pointed and set on burst mode. Serendipity.

Lisa, I have goats and tweens, so I'm getting an inkling about teenagers and their appetites! Good luck. At least your boys have a mom who loves to cook (and does it so beautifully)!

Nan said...

Oh, June. I can only say 'good luck.' I've already said it all here:

June said...

And you said it all so beautifully, Nan. I guess we are in the process of learning how to live in our goats' world. Thanks for flagging your charming and very apt post!

This photo sequence says: "Fun, fun, NOT fun!" Isn't that often the way? (Adorable, nonetheless.)

JGH said...

Too funny! I'll never forget when a goat ate a big chunk out of my mom's dress when we were at a petting zoo!
