So anyway Betsy got transferred to the high and mighty pasture where she even cowed Wronny with her sheer bulk. This was fantastic, we could actually grab a smattering of grain here and there. Finally, a few blades of hay.
Meanwhile Betsy started wearing out her welcome up at the Hilton. She hurt Brandy's feelings. She t-boned Pinky. She tried to pick Clementine up by her tailfeathers. Nobody seemed to mind any of that.
Then one day in her zeal for calories she bit one of Pebbles' ears. You could have heard a pin drop, because the farmer was standing right there when she did it. Pebbles was rushed immediately to the grain room so that she could stuff herself with grain in an effort to assuage the deep pain of earbiting which only those who have ears can truly appreciate.
So big surprise now we have Betsy back. And on top of that there is a report of impending snow. So there you have it.

You are so funny! My day is not complete without reading this blog. Look what you've done--turned a rural goat girl into a blog addict. Oh, the power of words and imagination. Please, nobody try to get me rehabilitated. I'm quite happy in my addiction.
I suggest, of course when he isn't looking, you pilfer Wendell's coat. Give it to Betsy and perhaps she will be so enamored of herself she will forget about the food and go in search of a mirror. Well, perhaps you ought to ask the Farmer for a mirror first.
Marigold I am sorry to tell you but if you think Betsy could fit into Wendell's jacket you are barking up the wrong whale.
Around here, Pip t-bones Caper all the time in order to move Caper away from the food. But, the strategy backfires because while Caper is busy t-boning, Caper simply steps aside and keeps eating. How does Betsy manage to t-bone and eat? Anyway, Caper would be happy to send you a video and show you how to deal with such goats.
Amen!
Little Pebbles! Has she recovered from assault?
Dear MillieBelles,
It *could* be a hat, if it won't fit as a coat. Of course that would scare all the Nubians, who might, in turn, inadvertently run over precious, precious Pebbles; of course, that wouldn't go over really well, but it is a thought.
Perhaps Betsy could wear Wendell's goat as a dickey.
