Something very annoying happened.
A new goat came here.
Its name is Melody. It follows the farmer everywhere and cries when the farmer leaves.
"Isn't that cute, Millie?" the farmer asked me.
The new goat is small and white and plain and lacks magnificence, unlike me. It lacks personality and style as well. When it first got here the farmer tried putting it with Blue Umbrella. Blue Umbrella gave it a thrashing and it started crying and the farmer came and took it out.
The farmer put it in with me and the babies and my mother. My mother gave it a polite, friendly thrashing and it started crying. Just a very kindly thrashing. Then Zydeco, one of the LaMancha babies, gave it a Soprano Family thrashing and it started crying like an air raid siren, even though it is a yearling and Zydeco is only about six months old. I never really liked Zydeco before that but I can see she has some good points.
The farmer came running like there was some kind of big emergency even though everybody gets a thrashing here at some point in the day. Society is built on thrashings and the promise of thrashings. Without thrashings there would be chaos.
"What is going on?" the farmer said, and took the little goat out and then gave a lecture on The Social Fabric. Can't we all just get along, bla bla bla, and how would we like it, etc etc etc.
We couldn't go out because it was pouring. The farmer gave me a gleamy look and the next thing I knew I was being settled in a stall with the new goat.
"Millie will be your friend," the farmer said, and then went into the house. I tried to give the new goat a thrashing but I am only four months old. Then she tried to give me a thrashing but I am Baby Belle, Jr.
So now I have a new friend. And it's very annoying.

Annoying friends are just part of life...it will be OK.
Okaynow goatfarmer. You really HAVE to get that camera fixed. I'm a visual kind of gal and it is just killing me here. I shall go to my stump and contemplate why it is you are making my imagination work so hard.
I know the feeling,but be nice,who knows,maybe she will share her hay.
Millie,
Please have the farmer post a picture of you with your new friend!
Who knows you may become quite fond of her.
I pushed the next blog button and up popped another goat person. We make cheese and other milk products here also. We have the raw milk issues to deal with however. I also milk a couple of brown swiss cows, Eva and Emmy Lou.
Anyway, Good luck to you.
