Go Go Goaties Watch Them Go Go Go

Hey.... Goats!!! Goatie-Goatie-Goaties!!! Go-Go-Go-Go-Go-Go-Goats!!!

There they are!

And the horses too! We had some extra rice left over from a batch of gumbo that dad made... and it had formed into a sort of rice-cake. So we cut it up into wedges, and...

Both of the horses seemed to enjoy it, as did the nubian goats.

Or did they...?

On the way home, I felt the need for speed. Yes, I wanted to chase some sticks around. Come on dad, try me out!!!

Got that one!

Come on, come on, come on, THROW THAT STICK!!!

Ok, you've got it in your hand... which way are you going to throw it? Are you going to make me run uphill - again - or make it easy for me doing a nice downhill run?

I AM FOAMING WITH ANTICIPATION - THROW THAT STICK!!!

YESSSSSSSSSS!!! First to the left...

Then to the right...

It doesn't matter which way you throw it, I'M GONNA GET THAT STICK!!!

One more time?

Ohmydog, I am so freaking tired. Panting like a maniac. Drooling all over myself. Uh, I mean, THROW IT AGAIN!!!

Love,

Did Someone Say Nachos?

Last night the power went out in our house - in our whole neighborhood actually - which was a little scary. It was SUPER windy, which must have disconnected something somewhere. Mama dad and I took a walk around our neighborhood to see if the whole thing was dark and it was... but the sky was gorgeous and you could see Venus and a whole bunch of stars really clearly. Or so she told me, I was just happy for a late-night walkie...

This morning the power was back on - whew! - but our street looked like this:

Stuff everywhere, lots of broken trees. But no matter, we had a job to do. Neither rain, nor snow, nor streets full of crap will stop me in my appointed rounds - to feed our about-to-be-thrown-out stuff to our goat buddies!

And yes, they LOVE it. Every single time. It never gets old to them (even tho it's old to us).

Today in addition to the usual carrots, onions, and potatoes, we cleared out the pantry a bit. Some cereal that had gone a bit stale, and then the piece de resistance... NACHO CHIPS

The goats went WACKO for the nachos... And I understand.

They were ready to jump over the fence to get more of those yumm-o chip-os.

Even the black and white one - who is normally really shy - got into the action.

Mmm... NACHOS...

Then the large horse came over for some. She got the lions share of the carrots.

OH YEAH...

No need to waste any of those bad boys... those goats had no problem sticking their entire heads inside the bag just to be sure that nothing was wasted.

Ah my friends, I SALUTE YOU

On the way home I found this sweet basketball - and it's not even deflated!

I'm taking this baby home to shoot some hoops in my backyard :)

Here Comes the G-rain Again

More SNOW!!! It seems like every day I wake up and there is more snow out there. Apparently this is unusual for Portland, but hey, since I've only been here a few months - and this is my very first real snow EVER - I don't mind.

Check out this monster paw print - was it from some wild animal? Are the dinosaurs still roaming around? Could it be Bigfoot?

Nope, just little old me.

Mama has a snow day today from work - so we're off for a special midday walkie.

Can you tell what it is?

We head off down the reedway (on a non-snowy day you would be able to see Mount Hood in the background, but not today!) toward...

HORSES! And GOATS!

These guys just love the grains that are left over after my Black and Tan Brewery (uh, I mean my dad) is done with brewing beer.

There are two horses and four goats... the goats are about my size, I keep thinking that they are some sort of dog, but nooooooooo...

Check out these faces!!!

I couldn't get a good closeup shot of the black and white goat, but the brown ones look so cool, don't they? They're really friendly too.

Love,
