BND

Hmm, here is a lost post from the summer. It somehow fell on the digital scrap heap.

I am going to put it up because it reminds me of all the long-gone sunny days, and of little Peanut who lives in Sequim now and of Zilla who went to Vashon. Also it reminds me of one of the little brats next door, who came and stood at the fence calling for Peanut for three days in a row after Peanut had moved to his new home.

I guess he didn't believe the farmer when the farmer told him Peanut was gone.

(from August.)

Now the brats next door (BND) hang around all the time watching us.

One of them comes over at 5 every afternoon in hopes that he will be able to feed Peanut his bottle. Then when the farmer isn't watching he likes to feed Annabel and Ruby and Lucy and Joy from the bottle, too, even though they are practically college age and were weaned a long time ago.

They never mention this to him, though, they just slurp from the bottle every chance they get while he laughs and laughs.

The farmer says, "you're not feeding those big babies, are you? They're not supposed to drink milk," and he says "oh, no."

Shouldn't those BNDs be inside playing video games or something? Since when do little kids play outside?

Peanut says to tell you that it is okay if those other goats got to slurp the bottle because now he gets Winne-the-Pooh animal cookies and they are even 'ganic...whatever that is.

Belle,
This is a general question. What prompted your name change?

Belle, Marigold has a poll on her blog! Why don't you have a poll on your blog?

I am baffled, I have always had the same name...we sometimes have polls but not all the time...

Belle,
I apologize if I am being dense or if the one brain cell I thought I had left has finally ceased functioning. I thought you were "Baby Belle" until recently. Has it always said, "Silver Belle" under your picture?? Please say no, even if it has. I can't afford to go to the Home for Challenged Goat Farmers right now. I have goat kids arriving any day!

There is good news and bad news. I have always and forever been called Baby Belle. Even though I am four years old and have 8 children, I am still called Baby Belle. However, Silver Belle is my actual name on my goat birth certificate, and my blog has always said Silver Belle. Kind of like Babe (please don't call me George Herman) Ruth, I guess.

Well then I apologize and I am currently searching for the nearest Home for Challenged Goat Farmers....
