Dorkwad... ugh.

[reicheru]

She nearly gave me a heart attack this morning. I woke up at 3 and flipped the camera on, because I like randomly check on her and Dorkweed. Well... she's in the stall stretched out on her side. She never does this. So I open the window and call her... nothing. CRAP. I throw on some clothes and waddle out there in the wet cold weather. As soon as I open the shed door, she pops up and just acts like I'm there to give her breakfast. meeeeean mean goat.

:rofl: My horses do this, all the time. You can honk a car horn next to them and they ignore it. Then, after running across a poopy pasture in your rare "good clothes," they pop up and say, "What? Huh? YAWN."

Dorkwad has this all down to a fine science. She is truly gifted in Dorkdom.

LOL! That reminds me of the day I turned into the driveway and saw (from a distance) what looked like my dear little Butternut stretched out on his side, perfectly still, in the driving rain. I was on the phone with my best friend at the time, and all she heard was "oh my God, oh noooo!" and then a click as I hung up on her.

I jolted and jounced across the field in my car, jumped out in my work clothes and heels, and ran closer just to find the goaties safe and dry in the barn. "Butternut" was a tub of hay that the boys had been stirring around, and it looked like a big golden lump.

Boy, did I feel like a nut.

A horse at the farm did that to us. We heard they should not be on their sides to long. Something about their lungs. It was laying so still. We were gonna tell them we think the horse is dead. Either way we thought it needed to get up if it wasn't. Then as we neared the building to tell them he popped up hehehe!

It's amazing we haven't all had several heart attacks from these critters. Beth, I can just see you driving like a mad woman through the field to rescue the tub of hay LOL!!!!!!!!

Reminds me of the time someone called Animal Control about my so called dead horse. I was out of town and my friend was coming by to check on things. They had her name on file and called her. She came by and tried to get her up and she didn't want to. She was always a hard sleeper and liked to lay on her side and sleep. My friend said that with a lot of coaxing she ended up, getting up, and grazing as usual. Animal Control said they got calls about 'dead horses' quite often.

I was, too, with my heart in my throat. And then the goats stuck their heads out of the barn to look at the crazy lady who was soaking wet like they were wondering why I didn't know to get in out of the rain. *sigh*

She is just living up to her name!!

I don't know how many times the wild-eyed barn help where our stallion lives have had to be firmly told, "He's not dying; he's SNORING!"

[lettermom]
