Cuzco's Glamour Shot o' the Day

[Nanno]

My mother-in-law Lois and I were treated to a hilarious sight while Phil's folks were visiting. It was one of the first mornings they were here and Lois and I were standing at the dining room window watching the goats tussle in the pen below. Nubbin was being her usual feisty self and she'd decided that morning to go after Pac-Man. Pac-Man is quite a bit bigger than Nubbin now, but that doesn't stop her from pushing him around! She'd knocked him off the stump and they were butting heads when Cuzco strolled casually onto the scene. He stole quietly up behind Pac-Man, and when Pac-Man suddenly noticed Cuzco breathing down his neck, he bolted forward right underneath Nubbin, who was standing on her hind legs to deliver a blow.

With an expression of total shock, Nubbin landed squarely on Pac-Man's back. But there was a problem. Pac-Man is so tall now that Nubbin's feet couldn't reach the ground and she began paddling furiously, stretching her tippy-toes down as Pac-Man began to run in circles. Nubbin slid down onto her front feet, but her hind legs were still in the air, kicking frantically. I hadn't yet milked her that morning and her bulging udder was caught over Pac-Man's back in an embarrassing display as her little legs hammered helplessly on either side. Lois and I shook with laughter as the two goats helicoptered around the yard, Nubbin trying desperately to get down while her front feet danced sideways to keep pace with Pac-Man's gyrations. Cuzco presided over the show with a bemused expression on his face. Nubbin slid off the back just in time to keep Lois and I from suffocating with laughter.
