The Circles that you find...
We have all become very concerned about Clara Belle.
Her brother went to his new home and Clara Belle has been forced to drink all of Iota's milk. We didn't get the results back yet, but judging by her waistline I think it must be about 10% butterfat. In fact I was going to suggest if it isn't too late maybe her name could be changed to Butter Belle. Or possibly Beach Belle.
By this time she is about twice the size of Midget, who is quite a bit older, and she shows no sign of slowing down.
"How adorable," the visitors say when she comes stampeding toward them to be picked up.
"Oh dear," they say, when they try to lift her.
"Try this one," the farmer will say, and hand them Mango, who weighs about two pounds, or LGO (the little gray one). Even Clover weighs about half as much as Clara Belle.
Meanwhile Coco and Coffee have retained a surprising amount of Nubianity, considering that by this time they are only 1/16th Nubian.
Yesterday when everyone came into the barn for dinner they all ran into the usual stalls, except Coco who started running in a circle and jumping off the milk stands in the aisle. She went around once, and then twice, and then three times, and by that time the farmer had closed all the doors to shut everyone in and just stood staring at Coco.
Even Pinky was perplexed and asked Coco what she was doing.
"I am running in a circle! A circle goes around and around," she answered, panting. "Forever!"
The farmer snatched her up and dropped her over the stall door, or I think she would still be out there putting her views on geometry into action.
I hope she doesn't start trying to run in a trapezoid. Or a parabola.
We continue to be sobered by the circles that we find in the windmills of the Nubian mind.

Fortunately, through proper meditation and a lot of will power, I have been able to ignore my Nubian half. Of course I DID have exceptional Nubian genes. Some, apparently, are not so fortunate.
The thing about Nubians is that their long ears are so darned cute that most of us forgive such purposeless activity as running in circles and just enjoy the sheer beauty of those flying ears. The fact that little Coco is unfortunately only 1/16 Nubian deprives you of those ears which makes the running in circles simply annoying. I suggest that since the Nubian thought processes remain in the bloodline, give it up and get a Nubian buck on the farm so you can focus on the ears once again rather than the behavior.
Please, we need some video of those circles!

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! I would LOVE to see that! She must be SO MUCH FUN to watch!
Goat Girls may Rule but we're not on Facebook yet -- hence we are sending you a name suggestion (after much rumination) for the Little Gray One. Felicity.
