I have not been here that long but nonetheless I have noticed certain things. One thing I have noticed is that nothing ever stays the way it is.
Things go along and everything is fine. Everyone acts normal. The food comes fairly promptly. Nobody berries in the water bucket. The screaming is kept to a polite minimum, mostly from Walker the Talker, the world's handsomest minimancha wether, who always seems to be yelling, "I may be the world's handsomest minimancha wether, but I am PART NUBIAN!"
Anyway that is to be expected and nobody notices it any more, it is like living near an airport, after a while you can sleep through a Dreamliner taking off in your living room.
So for the last couple of weeks we have just been having normal days. Then all of a sudden all hell breaks loose and the bats shoot out of the belfry.
Today it started with Aunt Hannah Belle going into heat, finally, and performing several eye-popping maneuvers which will be documented on the Flip video camera in 18 days when she does them again as she surely will. Anyway, as fat as she is she pushed her rubber bones through the pipe gate, under the railroad tie, through the back pasture fence and back up the other side so that she could stand outside the buck pen with her fanny wiggling in a most unseemly manner.
Since Aunt Hannah Belle was in heat, Jammies went into heat too and started bawling like a calf up in the milker pasture. Even though she could fit in Aunt Hannah Belle's back pocket she couldn't even get through one gate. So she just bawled.
"I am OVER HERE!" she was bawling to the bucks.
Since the other two were in heat my own mother Belle Pepper went into heat which was very embarrassing. I followed her when she tried to run down to the buck pasture but the farmer caught us both and we got detoured into the old buck pen.
The bucks were all blubbering and running in circles.
"Can someone help me?" my mother was yelling. "Could one of you gentlemen possibly help me?"
"This is ridiculous," said the farmer. "Can you all please be quiet?"
" I can't help you, " screamed Walker the Talker, "but I am PART NUBIAN!!!"

Oh my gosh! This post this morning from you Millie and the Farmer has made this a delightful morning! I have been waiting, it was so worth the wait. Thank you!
Really. Such unseemly behavior. For a buck? Now a Peanut, that would be a much more important thing to get all up-in-arms about. On the upside...when IS that farmer going to give us another picture so we can see how you are progressing? I happen to know she knows a VERY good photographer...
