Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

Well it is funny how everything changes. And then nothing changes.

Clipper, aka Mussolini, went to a new home, leaving her sweet retiring twin Eo behind. As soon as Clipper was gone, Eo looked around and said to herself, hey, wait a minute, this pasture needs a new boss. So now Eo is Mussolini Jr., running the down below pasture with an iron fist. Okay, maybe a wooden fist; she could never be as ruthless as Clipper.

And while there is hardly any room at the top, there is always plenty of room at the bottom. Lucy and Xtra Joy the yearlings came down from the big barn to the mini pasture because they simply couldn't compete with the likes of Boo the Winnebago and Brandy and her LaMancha crime family, aka the Sopranos. They were big enough, but they were just too mild-mannered. Their attitude was, please take my food, what would I want it for?

So down they came, and Lucy has risen way up the mini pecking order. But Xtra Joy, who is about the sweetest goat here, only has Jammies to boss around. And even Jammies doesn't really listen to her. So yesterday Joy tried bossing some little babies around, and she didn't get much respect there either.

Even little BlueBelle went up on her hind legs against Xtra Joy. She only weighs about five pounds, but her attitude is a credit to the Baby Belle family.

BRING IT ON, BIG SISTER!

Of course she did run away after that, but discretion is the better part of valor.

But that brings me to the point which I had almost forgotten. Everything always changes but then when you look at it up close it turns out nothing really changed.

Or did it?

Dearest Belle,
It is a nice day...well, perhaps not a nice day...well, it is an adequate day. On the other hand, this day isn't as good as some other days. But then,it is far more acceptable than some. I am sure you understand. There is constancy and then there is constancy. Plato would be impressed.
