Talking Catalog Question

Anyone know a good caprine catalog that has a good deal on water wings or hip boots for goats? Over 14 inches of rain at our rain gauge for the month of February...I'm thinking of opening a spa for goat lovers. Our special blend of spa mud contains extracts of barley, alfalfa, and urea all contained in special "nutrient pills". For an extra cost, one can have a body wrap created from specially aged grasses. It's only too bad that goats don't kid underwater like hippopotamuseseses.

The banana express has been whipping right over you and up to me - only it's been falling as snow.. for 6 days now (no end in sight!). Find out if that catalog has snowshoes for goats. I can't get the fat hags out of the barn.

Talking

Heck, I'd like to BE one of the fat hags in the barn (at least feeding them!). My 10 and 11 year old cherubs are starting to revolt. 5th grade in Springtime....eeeeeeeeeek! One parent came in, bent in half, ready to wet her pants...She wheezed out, "my son just came and told me that he thinks he's getting "the puberty"". WE laughed our fannies off, although there was a hint of pain in both our laughter. Yep, rainy days and Wednesday's always get me down. We had a whompin' 45 minutes of absolutely gorgeous, beautiful, silent snow this morning from 6:00 to 6:45, while I was out feeding goats. I just cherished it; a departure from the incessant, ongoing, neverending, unstoppable COLD rain. I would LOVE to have a snow day!!! Please send out your snow juju, wishes, prayers for me. It would be like finding a 20 dollar bill in the couch. I even had the kids add it as extra credit in their daily planners.

"The puberty" snort

It's absolutely a blizzard outside. The kids (2 of my 3 triplets) and several friends (all boys over 6' tall) have been snowboarding on the hill. Now they're inside, in my living room, within smelling distance. Ew. Watching "Caledaga Nights, the Ballad of Ricky Bobbie" at full volume, smelling like wet clothes, yelling because 7 teens can't speak in normal tones. 1 cute girl, 6 boys - it stinks like "the puberty" in here to high heaven. Dirty cups and brownie crumbs everywhere. I think I'll go take a nap under a heat lamp in the barn....

Start to visualize the "bucky" behavior of teenage boys around a cute girl in comparison to a young and upcoming buck around the girls in the barn; my best friend and I used to do the "buu-buu-buu-snort" when we were at a local singles bar and guys would fawn over her (she was the daughter of a model-I was the friend with the good personality)...we were the only ones who "got it" 'cause we'd had goats as teenagers. A couple margaritas and we'd be laughing our %$^#sses off because human and goat boys are often quite similar (no offense to you male posters out there).

If you get desperate, WalMart should start selling those Water Noodles things - ya know, the 6 ft. long foam thingys. Just tie a couple on each goat and wallah! hehe
